Week 11 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (5 Viewers)
- Thread starter Chaka
- Start date
I get your thinking
But I'd go with Caleb in spite of Tua's nice matchup
Achane could carry the Fins offense imop
Caleb will have to do more than Tua to win the day

Aaron Jones seems like a good bet after last week. Wan'Dale is a 100% start for me with Dart out and Jameis "Triple Coverage is Still Open" Winston starting.
After that... you can make a good case for all of them. If you're looking for the home run I'd go with Watson. Samuel has a good matchup on paper but, I am having trouble trusting anything on that offense ATM. He's a fine start, I guess but my expectations are low.
Gadsden has a great QB and a solid matchup, only the Bengals get gashed by TEs worse than the Jaguars. He seems like the best ceiling floor mix IMO.

.5ppr Final flex spot
Jauan Jennings @ ARI
Or either of the Seahawks RB's @ LAR
I have Jennings in as of now, that Seattle backfield split is fantasy yuck.

Non ppr, TDheavy, got some close choices:
Qb
Lamar@Clev
Herbert@Jax
WR (need 1)
DSmith vs Det
Jamo @ Phi
QJ @ Jax
Originally I was going with Lamar and Smith but considering a pivot to Herbert and tempted by Jamo (he has Goff) and QJ.
Thanks for your feedback! I’ll circle back and reply to some tonight.

I'd stick with Jennings and hope for a Purdy bump for the passing game across the board.
Jennings>SEA RB

Coin toss at QB. I guess Herbert because it's a better matchup and I don't think there are weather concerns. But you can't go wrong with either IMO.
Herbert>Lamar
=======================
It's non-PPR and they all have big play ability so, you can be comfortable with any of them. Personally, I worry about the Eagles ATM. As I said above, I'm not sure if they are going to run the table to a repeat or completely implode like 2023. That gives me lest trust in Devonta. But, the Lions do give up points to opposing WRs.
QJ looks like he will remain a big piece of the Chargers passing game and, he has a good matchup. I think his hands and ball tracking are lesser than Jamo & Devonta but, he is still a nice option here.
Jamo has the toughest matchup but, he's on the best offense of your options, LaPorta is out and he's on a heater.
All nice choices. I think I lean
Jamo>QJ>DeVonta

Slight underdog in a must win match up, need 2 starts this week from:
Oronde Gadsden @ JAC
Tre Tucker v DAL
Christian Watson @ NYG
I have Gadsden and Tre Tucker in at the moment, but curious how you guys feel about Watson over either of them.
thanks

I think Watson sees 4 targets at an ADOT of 25.9
If you need the BOOM, he's probably your guy.I think Tucker is a sneaky play this week and, maybe the Raiders have to pass a lot to keep up. The question is if Tucker sees an uptick or stays around 4-5 targets at an ADOT of 8.7.
I definitely play Gadsden because of Herbert and a great matchup.
After that, I flip a coin. The Giants and Cowboys are within a point of each other for average points yielded to opposing WRs (26 to 27) so, it's kind of a push. As a severely traumatized Raider fan (yes, I understand that statement is redundant which, shows how traumatized I am) you may not want my advice on this one. I simply may not be viewing it clearly.
Gadsden>Watson>Tucker
Great...LaPorta on IR so I need two of these dudes now.
Leaning Jones and Gadsden. Other option is Metcalf vs. CIN. Thoughts?

Jamo is the play. He was already worked in the past couple if weeks - now that Laporta is out? Jamo will smash this week

TE help needed, badly.
Njoku v BAL
Dulcic v WAS (in Madrid)
TE premium. Njoku should be the easy choice, i still domt understand why they are not featuring him. Dulcich? Miami needs him .. i could easily see him having a 5-45 1TD game

Ok @Chaka pick the worst backfield in the history of League Uno since everyone I had is injured or plays for one of the worst teams this century (Titans).... since I'm forced to play this out and can't fast forward to next season. Need 2 of these phenomenal options, woohoo! Thanks and enjoy the laugh (when Hero RB Strategy goes completely off the rails)
Pollard @ Hou
Spears @ Hou
Gainwell vs Cin
B. Smith @ Den
R. Davis vs TB

Njoku seems like the obvious choice. If Julian Hill returns for Miami who knows what that does to Dulcich's playing time?

I stand by my original reccos, for the most part. DK makes it interesting because of the matchup but Jones looks like he's going to get the volume and, Gadsden's matchup is very good too, if a little more position specific.
Jones>Gadsden>DK>Fannin

Cincinnati makes this a tougher decision than I would prefer. No Hendrickson, no Shemar and they give up all the points. Nothing at all wrong with starting DK here. In fact, despite LaPorta being out
DK>Jamo

Gainwell because of the matchup is your equivalent of a smash start.
After that... I go with Pollard because he is most likely to see volume and, he can be a three down + short yardage option.
Maybe Spears next but, just not a lot to work with here so, matchups and volume win the day for me.
Gainwell>Pollard>Spears

As long as he's starting I think I have to go London because, I don't think anyone told Penix that there are other pass catchers on the team... sort of.
Love Davante but, tough matchup, he's more banged up and, he splits with Puka far more than London with anyone.

Goff is playing too well for me to bench for whatever Love is doing this season
Goff>Love
Close this week
No LaPorta for Goff
Out of the dome
Tough defense
Love may have to keep up with Jaemis..don't laugh
Slight edge to Jordan I guess
Drake
Bengals defense is so bad I could gain a yard against them
DK for me

Been back and forth on this one. I'm the underdog in my matchup in a PPR league. At flex
Christian Watson GB at NYG or Judkins CLE vs BAL?
All the sites tell me Judkins. I think Judkins gives me a better floor but Watson gives me more upside.

All the sites tell me Judkins. I think Judkins gives me a better floor but Watson gives me more upside.
You are correct sir
How much risk are you willing to take
Judkins higher floor or Watson's higher ceiling?
Watson could go 2/40/0 or 4/120/2
I'm usually a high ceiling guy
Good luck
Flacco for me this week
Better matchup
Nix is hit or miss and will be facing a KC defense that's had 2 weeks to prepare
If you feel he's healthy and will play the entire game...London

Even if you had Pitt D?
Play whichever QB you think is going to get the most points. The D you're starting does not factor into the decision. If Flacco outscores Nix, he's going to do it regardless of your fantasy D. So you might as well start the QB with the better chance for more points.

They're projecting it to be ~45F and 10 mph wind. I think it's negligible. I play basketball in 10 MPH winds all the time. Goff can get a football through it no problem.
All that said, I think it's very close. Jameson has been solid the last 2 weeks, now no LaPorta. Addison has the better matchup vs Chicago. Similar point totals: 48 vs MIN/CHI and 47 for DET/PHI.
I think I just feel a little better about Goff than I do McCarthy, and Jameson's bigger share of the target pie with LaPorta out.

London for me. I don't love Penix but, not sure I want to rely on Davis Mills either.
They both see great volume, so go with the guy you like, and they both have matchups that could lead to run heavy days.
For me the deciding factor is the Texans have a better defense overall and, as limited as Penix has been he seems to get London to the end zone with regularity.
Both great options, sorry you have to choose only one.
London>Nico

1. I use FBG, Fantasypros, and a 3rd website that I'm not going to name since they're a FBG competitor.
2 have Warren higher. 1 has Warren 1 spot behind Saquon. So even the website rankings would bench Saquon for Warren.
I think in this case, it's probably the right move. The Bengals are just such a smash matchup. I would expect big days for all of the Steelers.
2. TE wise: You've got 2 elite ones. Kittle has the far better matchup, Purdy is back. I'm going him.
3. Flex: I'm definitely not going Shaheed there. Other than that, it's kind of a coin toss between Washington and Ferguson. I'm really down to splitting hairs. Washington doesn't have Lamb and Pickens to compete with for targets. I can see the game unfolding where Dallas rolls in this one (even with their putrid defense)--and that could lead to less passing. On the flip side, I would imagine the Chargers control their game and Jax is forced to pass a lot. For those reasons, I lean Washington. But if you decided on Ferguson, I won't fault you one bit.

Judkins. Baltimore D gives up the 6th most FPPG to RB's.
I don't think we'll ever know which GB pass catcher (without Kraft playing) to pick on a given week.
Chaka
Footballguy
Starting Nix won't change anything if Flacco lights the the Steelers up, other than you lose out on those points from Flacco. The Steelers defense has been awful against the pass all year (last in pass attempts against and last in pass yards against.
The Chiefs D has been stifling across the board and, I am very wary of betting against the Mahomes and Spagnulo in a must win game (and this is a must win game).
I think the Broncos are good enough to win this one but, I can't rely on it and, wouldn't bet on it.
Flacco>Nix

KC actually the tougher matchup by a decent bit.
Pitt gives up the 7th most FPPG to QB's. KC is giving up like the 20th most FPPG to QB's. Pitt/Cinci has the higher o/u at 48.5 vs 45 for KC/Denver.
Don't let the defense tail wag the QB dog--I'd switch defenses before switching QB's. That being said, both can have good days. Flacco will get sacked. He throws an INT or 2 a game. But he'll probably have the yards and a couple TD's.

London is hotter than the sun. Can't bench him.
I'd love to play both, but I'm guessing you're ridiculously stacked at WR to be asking this one.
Chaka
Footballguy
I agree. Judkins should see 20+ opportunities, Watson will see 5 targets, if we're lucky.
But, Judkins efficiency has really gone downhill over the last four games and Watson is making two big plays per game. Last week he was one bizarre misread of a pass away from a monster game.
You can't count on it but, if you need a home run
Watson>Judkins

Thank you for the sanity check! Flacco it is. Appreciate it man.

With a TE premium format I go with Ferguson and Kittle. They have the best matchups (particularly Ferguson) and are the more talented players.
Washington is an interesting choice and, he should see solid target share but, he is catching about 55% of his targets (the Trevor Lawrence Experience) and, I wonder if some of his routes will shift to Jakobi.
Shaheed is a big play guy. Darnold is mailing the deep ball for sure but, the matchup is rough.
Ferguson>Kittle>Washington>Shaheed
