PRIMARY CB MATCHUP: Brandon Stephens (Baltimore Ravens)
PROJECTED FANTASY POINTS: 12.1
MATCHUP ANALYSIS: Pickens ranks 13th in expected fantasy points per game, accounting for a player's usage and role. He has been underperforming his expected fantasy numbers by over three points, with 11.7 PPR/G. Sign us up for a borderline WR1 facing one of the juiciest fantasy matchups for opposing receivers.
Brandon Stephens allows the 19th-most yards per route, with the 30th-most fantasy points per route run. The Ravens use two-high safeties 47 percent of the time (No. 10) yet allow the most fantasy points per dropback when using this coverage.

Pickens garners a 20 percent target rate with 2.08 yards per route and 0.49 expected fantasy points per route run compared to his actual 0.32 PPR per route against two high safety looks. Meanwhile, Pickens rocks a 32 percent target rate, 3.16 yards per route, and an even 0.60 expected and actual fantasy points per route run when facing single-high safety coverage.
The Ravens mix their pass coverage but use Cover 3 at the 14th-highest rate (31.1 percent). Cover 3 uses single high safety looks, and Pickens unsurprisingly crushes, evidenced by a 30 percent target rate and 3.66 yards per route run. Pickens' yards per route run against Cover 3 ranks him ninth among pass catchers with 10 or more targets.
It should be a spike week performance for Pickens in Week 11, with the potential for big-time fantasy points against the Ravens.

Mack Hollins (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]
Gus Edwards (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues. He actually led the team in rushing in Week 10, carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards. He averaged […]
DeMario Douglas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]
Xavier Legette (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has played much better in his two-game return as the starter. This gives some hope for the Carolina passing game with […]
Audric Estime (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense. That finally came to fruition this past Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs as Estime carried the football 14 times for 53 yards. #broncos rookie RB Audric […]
