Week 10 was a messy week for scoring, and the Sleeper Page felt the brunt of that. Ricky Pearsall got home on a nifty touchdown at Tampa Bay, but the rest of the sheet was filled with bricks. That’s life. We’re onto Week 11.
Everyone listed below, as usual, is rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues as we go to press.
QB Russell Wilson vs. Ravens (43%)
Normally we think of a Baltimore-Pittsburgh game as the ultimate rock fight, with the first team to 17 points the likely winner. That’s not the shape this year. Lamar Jackson is playing the best football of his career — a big statement given that he’s already won two MVP awards — and the Baltimore secondary has been a sieve all season (22 touchdown passes allowed, 294.9 passing yards per game). The Ravens could also be without safety Kyle Hamilton, a key piece.
Wilson has been steady as a fantasy pick since joining the lineup, grading out as QB3, QB24 and QB9. He’s yet to get past 30 pass attempts yet, but with the game total set at 48.5, Pittsburgh will probably be more aggressive than usual.
RB Audric Estimé vs. Falcons (46%)
Perhaps we need to give Estimé more props for last week’s 14-53-0 line at Kansas City — the Chiefs, after all, are a nightmare to run on this year. The Falcons’ front seven is also a plus unit, but it’s not in Kansas City’s class. The Broncos are at home and a mild favorite, so game script will likely favor Estimé. And even if he doesn’t get any work in the passing game — he’s yet to catch an NFL pass, after 17 grabs his final year at Notre Dame — Estimé probably has 13-15 touches already in his back pocket. The goal-line work will probably be his, too.
WR Jerry Jeudy at Saints (49%)
It’s surprising his roster tag is so low, given that Jeudy has 19 targets and a credible 12-152-0 line since Jameis Winston took over as the Cleveland starting quarterback. The Saints’ secondary is the 11th-easiest for opposing wideouts to score against, and obviously it lost Marshon Lattimore to a…
