Week Eleven Rankings
At running back Jeremy Hill is expected to see another start this week and ranks as a solid RB2 option in a game where the Bengals will look to ground and pound as much as they can in an effort to keep Drew Brees and company off of the field. We have Mark Ingram as a top five back this week with the Saints expected to try and keep AJ Green off of the field with extended drives. Ingram has been one of the best running backs in the NFL when healthy and will be an RB1 for the rest of the season. Rashad Jennings is expected back this week and that knocks Andre Williams down to the RB4 range though he can be employed as an RB3 in touchdown heavy leagues. Ryan Mathews is also expected back this week and is a RB2 immediately upon his return as the Chargers will be starting him and looking to get him at least 15 touches but with gameflow that number may be closer to 20.
At wide receiver Golden Tate has put a stamp on his upside WR2 status and it it s truly amazing the jump this talented receiver has made in a pass heavy offense. Odell Beckham is an WR2 this week against the 49ers and is a must-start the rest of the way. Andre Johnson gets a huge speculative value spike with Ryan Mallett taking over for the inept Ryan Fitzpatrick and is ranked as a WR2 this week. Pierre Garcon and Desean Jackson both find themselves in WR2 territory again with RGIII back at QB while Jordan Matthews finally cracks the WR2 ranks with Mark Sanchez liking the size advantage Matthews presents coming out of the slot.
At the quarterback position Mark Sanchez is looking like he has top five upside in what is expected to be a shootout against the Green Bay Packers. We have high hopes this week for Ryan Mallett as he has one of the best wide receiver duos in the league at his disposal as well as top ten run game and a back who is a plus receiving threat out of the backfield, we currently have him ranked as a top 20 option at QB.
At tight end Rob Gronkowski is far and away our number one tight end and will be for the rest of the season while Kyle Rudolph immediately gets reinserted as aTE1 option for the Vikings. With Anthony Fasano banged up Travis Kelce may finally be unleashed leading us to bump him up to sixth overall for week eleven. Finally we have Mychal Rivera making his debut as a TE1, Rivera has been a garbage time beneficiary and is someone to take into consideration over bigger disappointing names. Rivera has added value in PPR formats.
