College Fantasy Football | Week 11 Wide Receivers

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Wide receiver’s are often perceived as divas and ego maniacs. It seems like an inherent flaw in the receiver gene pool in which they’re always demanding the ball, and while that may be annoying for their quarterbacks, that’s exactly what we want  as fantasy owners. This week we take a look at some wide receivers who are must starts in weekly college fantasy football games.

 

Justin Blackmon

Blackmon headlines the week 11 receivers

1. Justin Blackmon – Earlier this week, we listed Brandon Weeden, Blackmon’s QB, very high due to the sheer number of attempts he gets, and due to the fact that he’s facing the 104th ranked passing defense in the country. Blackmon may be the most talented receiver in the nation and he’ll benefit just as much, if not more, from this matchup. (more…)

Whether you are involved in weekly salary cap football games or season long leagues, it is important to understand how your players are affected by match ups.

Earlier in the NFL season, one could’ve written off statistical performance (from both players and opposing defenses) as mere random variation, but as the fantasy football year progresses, owners should be ever mindful of statistical trends when putting together their starting lineups. Which players have been getting the most opportunities to succeed (carries, targets, redzone touches, etc.)? Which defenses typically yield the most production from a given position? If you look hard enough, you are bound to find the players deserve starts more than others.

 

Here are a few players we expect to help you in all of your weekly fantasy football games based on statistical analysis and past performance. (more…)

College Fantasy Football | Week 11 Running Backs

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

When you’re playing College Fantasy Football, your quarterbacks and wide receivers can be pretty volatile, especially when choosing players from smaller non-BCS Schools. However, your running backs should be your steady, bread and butter scorers, and their consistency will be a big reason your team goes the distance this year. This week we take a look at some running backs who are must starts in weekly college football fantasy games.

Montee Ball

Montee Ball leads the list of must play RBs for Week 11

1. Montee Ball – Ball has been the #1 back in fantasy all season. This week will be no different as he will be squaring off against Minnesota’s 99th ranked defense. This is a no-brainer.

2. Ronnie Hillman – Hillman is the second leading rusher in the nation and is averaging an impressive 6 yards per carry. Colorado State has the 112th ranked run defense and only 11 schools have given up more rushing TDs on the ground. (more…)
