1 day agoThe Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is presented with a smash matchup this Sunday when they take on the Tennessee Titans on the road. Minnesota has stymied their opponents' ground attacks this season, letting up 3.8 yards per carry – the third-lowest figure in the league – and totaling the fewest rushing yards against in the NFL (711). They're a bit more beatable through the air but have intercepted more passes (15) than passing scores allowed (14). Moreover, Tennessee is the best matchup for opposing D/STs, affording their opposition an average of 13.9 fantasy points per contest – the most in the league. Slot them into your lineup confidently, as they're RotoBaller's D/ST4 in this week's rankings.

1 day agoTennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard (foot) was cleared from the final injury report this week and will take on the Minnesota Vikings and their stout run defense this upcoming Sunday. With
Tyjae Spears returning to the lineup last week, Pollard played a season low in snaps at 54% and only received nine carries in the game. The positives were that Pollard received more work in the passing game than Spears and was more efficient, but the latter's stock is definitely on the decline. This week against a Vikings defense that is fourth-best against fantasy running backs and is No. 1 in the league in yards allowed, Pollard is demoted to a low-end flex. The former Cowboy is still in the mix given his role in the offense, but if he doesn't score a touchdown it will likely be a disappointing performance for fantasy managers given Minnesota's propensity to shut down their oppositions ground game.

1 day agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end
George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 11 divisional game on Sunday versus the Seattle Seahawks. Kittle is dealing with a little hamstring irritation and did not practice on Wednesday before putting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he wasn't too worried about Kittle's status for this weekend, so fantasy managers should leave him in all starting lineups, even with the Niners and Seahawks kicking off in the late window on Sunday. The 31-year-old leads all tight ends in fantasy points through 10 weeks and has found the end zone seven times in his eight games this year. Oh, and he also caught five passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting against Seattle back on Oct. 10. Kittle will be a must-start for the rest of the year in fantasy.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings kicker
John Parker Romo will get his second NFL start this weekend when his team travels to Nashville to square off against the Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old was called upon to replace an injured
Will Reichard (quad) last Sunday and responded by knocking in all four of his field goal tries to fell the Jaguars 12-7. The Titans present a difficult matchup for opposing offenses but have been one of the better ones regarding fantasy kickers. Tennessee averages 9.3 fantasy points per game allowed to the position – tied for the eighth-most in the league through ten weeks. Romo ranks as RotoBaller's K20 ahead of Week 11.

1 day agoTennessee Titans quarterback
Will Levis will start against the Minnesota Vikings in a cross-conference showdown this Sunday. Last week against the Chargers, Levis had his first turnover-free performance, putting up a season-high 19.1 fantasy points which included a career-high 41 rushing yards. The Kentucky product looked a bit more comfortable in the offense, but was still sacked seven times on the afternoon, which figures to be a major issue for this upcoming matchup against defensive coordinator Brian Flores and his aggressive scheme. This game also features the lowest over/under on the day at 39.5 with the Titans implied team total sitting at 17 points. While the Vikings are easier to beat through the air as opposed to on the ground, Levis cannot be trusted even in 2QB formats given his play this season and the tough matchup.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson will be a top play at the position this Sunday when his team lines up against the Tennessee Titans. The former eighth-overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft was back to a staple option in the Vikings offense in just his second game back from a devastating knee injury, racking up eight receptions and 72 yards on nine targets. Perhaps even more impressively, he did so on less than half the team's snaps (46%). Hockenson will get his toughest test thus far in a Titans defense that has stifled their opponent's passing games in 2024. Tennessee has let up an average of just 4.3 fantasy points per game to the TE position and is allowing an abysmal 5.3 yards per pass attempt. However, the 27-year-old's involvement should keep him in the conversation as one of the better performers at tight end this weekend. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE5 in this week's ranks.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings running back
Cam Akers will not be a recommended option this Sunday when his team squares off against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. The former Florida State Seminole garnered his highest touch total of the season in last weekend's victory over the Jaguars when he received 14 of them (13 rushes) with backfield mate
Aaron Jones (ribs) briefly tending to an injury. It appears that Akers has taken over Minnesota's RB2 role over the last few weeks, superseding
Ty Chandler, who previously held that title. Even with his new-found promotion, the 25-year-old is little more than a handcuff unless Jones is forced to miss time. Akers ranks as RotoBaller's RB42 in PPR formats for Week 11.

1 day agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs has been his team's most reliable fantasy receiver so far in 2024, but with the Colts switching back to
Anthony Richardson at quarterback, Downs' fantasy value undoubtedly takes a hit. In three games together this season, Downs caught just eight of 17 targets from Richardson. Still, the 23-year-old leads his team in receptions (45), targets (66), yards per game (60.4), and yards after catch (211) despite playing in only eight of the Colts' 10 games. The schedule affords Downs no favors, however, with the Indy taking on the Jets this week on the road, a defense that has allowed the fewest points to WRs this season. While the former third-round draft pick has been a solid WR2 the last two weeks, his situation and matchup deem him closer to a WR3 in Week 11.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison is an unenticing fantasy option in Week 11 when his team takes on the Tennessee Titans on the road. The second-year wideout is averaging a paltry three receptions and 42.6 yards per contest through seven appearances. He has been marginally more involved over the prior two weeks, garnering at least five targets in both outings. Still, it won't be easy to trust him this coming Sunday against one of the more effective pass defenses in the league. Tennessee has been committed to shutting down their opponent's air attacks, allowing an average of just 111 yards per game to wideouts and the fewest fantasy points per game to the position (13.6). Addison presents as RotoBaller's PPR WR49 for this weekend's slate of games.

1 day agoGreen Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus has been a calming presence for the Packers and their well-publicized kicker woes and looks to keep that up this week as the Packers head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. McManus has missed just one kick this season, a 46-yard field-goal attempt that may have had some wet weather affecting it. That said, McManus has been everything the Packers have wanted out of the kicker position in his three games with two game-winning field goals. With a tough defense ahead in Chicago, McManus could have some opportunities to kick if the Packers' offense stalls, so consider McManus a low-end starting kicker in fantasy for Week 11.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson is in store for his most challenging outing of the season this Sunday when his team travels to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. The superstar wideout had his worst outing of 2024 in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, failing to score at least 15 fantasy points for the first time. He'll get another staunch test in Week 11 in a Titans defensive unit that's allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this season (13.6 per game). Still, the 25-year-old is the league's second-leading receiver (831), averaging an astounding 92.3 yards per game and remaining a must-start option. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.

1 day agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins (hamstring) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. Collins hasn't played since Week 5, but appears to be on track to suit up during Monday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. There is still a chance that Collins suffers a setback, but fantasy managers should prepare to have him back this week. The Texans could desperately use the help with
Stefon Diggs (knee) done for the season. Collins should be able to produce WR1 value, assuming he isn't limited at all on Monday.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings running back
Ty Chandler will not be a viable fantasy option this weekend when his team travels to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old has seemingly fallen out of favor as the handcuff to own over the last few weeks, getting out-snapped and out-carried by backfield mate
Cam Akers after being acquired from the Houston Texans. Chandler did tote the rock four times for 18 yards in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars but only rotated into the game when lead back
Aaron Jones (ribs) tended to an injury. Still, that drive was split with Akers. The third-year back is RotoBaller's PPR RB75 in this week's rankings.

1 day agoSeattle Seahawks center Connor Williams has retired from the NFL on Friday. This is odd given the fact Williams has started nine games at center for Seattle this season. The organization had a bye in Week 10 and it looks like Williams won't be returning for Week 11. Williams played seven professional seasons and signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in the offseason. It's worth noting Williams did have a major knee injury earlier in his career, so possibly that was bothering him again. Olu Oluwatimi has been named the starting center for this weekend's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
