BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: D/ST1
ANALYSIS: The Miami Dolphins get to face one of the league's worst offenses in Week 11 -- they'll take on a Las Vegas Raiders team that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season. Las Vegas has scored just 18.7 points per game so far in 2024.
Scott Turner on revamping the #Raiders offense:

This start isn't without risk, though. The Raiders canned Luke Getsy as their offensive coordinator to start the season. He was a terrible hire and a head-scratching pick for an organization that presumably wanted to improve. However, the new offensive coordinator, Scott Turner, could throw something at Miami that they don't expect.
Still, the Dolphins played a great game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, defeating them in a stunning upset largely driven by their defense. They were able to intercept Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford twice, keep LA out of the end zone, and come away with a victory.
They'll now get to face Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II, who arguably shouldn't have a starting job in the league at all. It should be easy pickings. They're a defense worth starting in fantasy football this week.
