Week 11 Matchups + In-or-Out, Magic Eye Jealousy

We also know Darren Sproles is now out for the rest of the season, so J. Ajai visited, whether that's just the emergency list or the bottom of the depth chart. Jordan Howard seems very iffy for a New England matchup there. Yeah, I would, I mean, it's too early to know, but the way it's being reported about J. Ajai going back, it looks like there's a real shot. They sign him. And when I heard, okay, Darren Sproles looks like his career is done, they're bringing in J. Ajai. My first thought was.

What a weird comp. Like, you've got your third down scat-back weapon. He goes down, and you bring in Jay and J. Sproles, by the way, it's a torn right hip flexer. Yeah, and so that leads me to believe that they might be worried there without Jordan Howard. If he's not clear for contact, he's got a football game in two days. Is it a contact game? I've been told. Okay. Based on last night, it is a very contact game. All right, and then.

What do you think about Matthew Stafford this week? You remain sidelined at Thursday's practice. It's not turning the right way. Do you think he's in or out? I think he's out as well. And that Vegas line, in my opinion, really needs to update because this seems way too high if Stafford is not playing. All right. Like I said, game day alerts, join thefoot.com. Mike's live on Sunday morning on all of our social media. You can catch it on Twitter at the FF Ballers on the YouTube channel.

News or notes is always brought to you by the Sleeper app. Let's get back into the forecast. Fantasy forecast. Jason, to speak to what you just said, I'm looking, and like, Caesars, they've pulled the point spread. Ah. For the Detroit. Yeah, I would have expected that, too, if you get this late in the week. Find one that hasn't. If you got in and got on that under, congratulations. Yeah, I think it'll be Dreskell.

All right, yesterday we talked about the Cowboys, Lions, Jigs, Colts, Broncos, Vikings, Texans, Ravens, Redskins, Falcons, Panthers. Seven matchups remaining on today's show, starting with the Bills at the Miami Dolphins. Dolphins are 2 and 7. Bills are 6 and 3. Bills are 6.5 point road favorites. It's a 41 point over under. And here we are. Mike's start of the week, Josh Allen.

taking on Ryan Fitzpatrick in yet another revenge game. All of his games are revenge games. But I feel like this is the real one. When I think of Ryan Fitzpatrick, I still think of him as the Buffalo Bills. Does he remember that he played for the Bills? Does Fitzpatrick? Does he even recall those days? Who do you associate him most with? Where did, where was his peak? Cincinnati. Really? What? I go Jets. What? There you go.

Wow. He's been everywhere. This is why revenge game works on all levels. I won a championship streaming. Streaming him. How about Houston? What? Yeah. All right. The number one most-ask start-sit question of the entire week. We've got to start sit too on the website. The number one question is involves the Bill's backfield, Devin Singletary, whether you'd play Devin Singletary this week over.

Brian Hill, Free Agent Darling pickup at Carolina. Singletary the last three weeks, 72%, 69%, 68% of snaps. Miami is allowing the fourth most rushing yards in the NFL as well as big plays. So where do you go with that number one most asked question? So for me, I look at these. These are two.

Good matchups. Carolina's a bad rushing defense for Brian Hill and the Miami Dolphins are a bad rushing defense. While I do think Brian Hill gets a little bit more work than Devin Singletary because there's not as many people around, they're both going to get enough work to do business. I like both players. So I'm going to take the more talented one, which is Devin Singletary. Devin Singletary has been...

electric in his short career. Really, the only time that he is disappointed on a per touch basis was only this last week. And I think that's just the reasons he buys where it's like, oh, no, he had a down week. And so I worry I can't play him. I'm sticking with Singletary, but I like Hill a lot this week. I believe that Brian Hill is safer than Devin Singletary. For volume? For volume. I believe that he's safer. So if you need an upside play, Singletary is more talented. I think you...

got the big play opportunity, the passing game opportunity. I think Brian Hill's a little bit safer. Mike, where do you lean on that decision? I lean that I'd, I like your thought process there. I would lean Singletary, though. It's, it's really close. I like both guys. They are back to back in my rankings. Yeah. Caleb Bellage on the other side, he is 100% on the Miami Dolphins. He is somewhat interesting to me.

Because the one place you can beat Buffalo is on the ground. They're 24th against fantasy running backs. And Kalin Belage, he got, to talk about volume. What was he at? Yeah, 20 carries this past week against the Colts. Even though he was very, very inefficient, I think he can have more success against his Buffalo Bill's defense and has a chance to rip one off. You can't make me do it. You can't make me. Okay. I'm my own person.

And he's almost upset of the week. Did you just pick the Dolphins? As you're almost upset? He picked them to cover. What's the line? I did. It's a six and a half point line. That's not. Dolphins, I think it'll be a close game because the divisional game. Bill's coming off a loss at Cleveland. I haven't seen enough from. So you are playing Belage then. Because Parker's going to get Tradavius White. He is. He is. Yeah. I, I.

Playing Belage means playing him in the context of what you got. So as a running back, as a flex play, sure, put them out there. Guaranteed volume. I think the game hits the under. That's kind of more what I'm getting at. You know, we thought we'd see a pretty ugly game last night. That's what we got. I think this game ends up being a little uglier. Dolphins playing well, two-game winning streak. Credit where credit is due, and the bills, they don't always travel. You kind of get surprised by the bills. And I like them. I want them to do well. But I think it's going to be a dog fight.

a lot of the bills. I like John Brown a lot in this game. He was my pivot. If Marquis Hollywood Brown is unable to go, he would become my start of the week. I go from Brown to Brown, and I think both have a great chance at a touchdown here. Brown to Brown. Are you benching Devante Parker entirely because of Trudevius White? Yes, if I can. Yeah, me too. Okay. And then Mike Gisicki, you're going back to that well? He's part of the barf. Part of the barf. He's one of the chunks. When you got to sort through...

vomitous. Oh, come on. And find the, the piece. There's no way to talk about another human being. Oh, there's my ring. That's what I was going to. There's, there's the ring. Because sometimes once you uncover it is not the ring. And you go, oh, no, I just, I just. No, it's a gisicky. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to get, oh, I feel gisicky. You ever done that with the, uh, you threw something away? You didn't mean to.

So you decide, you've made the mental decision. I'm going to go through the trash. Like, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to go through the trash and then not find it. We've all done that. And then you feel just kisicky. And then it's like, oh, it's next to the trash can. It's somewhere. I overshot it. It's in my hand the whole time. I already pulled that out. All right.

All right, the seven and two Saints take on the three and six Buccaneers. This game's in Tampa. The Saints are five and a half point favorites. It's got a beautiful 50 point over under, and I think a lot of that has to do with a couple of beat-up secondaries. New Orleans is going to be, I believe they're going to be without Marshall and Lattimore this week. He left early with the injury last week and he's just not going to be ready to go. In Tampa Bay, they lost a couple guys in their secondary to injury. They just cut Vernon Hargraves.

So the 50 point over under, I think it holds true in this one. This matchup doesn't always lead to what you expect. We've seen that in years past. But you've got a couple starts of the week. Jason's quarterback, James Winston, Mike has, or I'm sorry, Jason's tight end as well, Jared Cook, in this matchup. So big decisions to be made. You're playing Alvin Camara. You're playing the big boys at wide receiver, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, who, by the way.

Major, major upgrade from the Lattimore. Oh, he was goosed this year by Marshall and Lattimore. By the way, Mike Evans' 16-game pace, 96 for 1643 and 12. If you were worried at the beginning, any of those- That includes a zero. Any of those week two tweets about dropping him, literally, that I read, talent rises. Yeah. It's there. Mike Evans is great.

Chris Godwin, by the way, on pace for 107 receptions, 1,492 yards, and 10.6 touchdown. So both guys are in your lineup. Where's the value in this game? Are you looking at an O.J. Howard with that over under as interesting? Are you looking at a Treyquan Smith who played 82% of snaps last week as interesting?

No, I'm not really looking at those secondary pieces. We talked about this with O.J. Howard. He had the great game. It was my start of the week last week. I have cut him. He is available on waivers. I don't know. Andy, if you'd like to pick him up and play him against me, please do. You know, it's not to say he can't get another touchdown, but this is not the Arizona Cardinals defense. And I think with the absence of Latimore, they're going to be able to do what they want to do, which is go with...

Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I'm basically sticking with the stars here. I'm not going Latavius Murray. I'm not going because Tampa is a really, really good rush defense. And, you know, at least. Number two in football and they shut down Drake and David Johnson. And with the return of Alvin Camara this past week against Atlanta, which is, I mean.

Should have been a nice match for the Saints, but only seven opportunities for Latavius. And you brought it up, Andy, these matchups where it's like, okay, you've got a high-scoring Saints team. They're coming off of that loss where they're really going to want to just torch the Buccaneers, and the Buccaneers can put up points, and they've got a bad secondary. So often this matchup disappoints because it's an inter-division. They know each other well, and they can play well. I'm thrilled that Lattimore is out for fantasy purposes. Even if he's in, I mean, there's the chance with a hamstring that

He, you know, he re-enters himself. So that's why I think I'm sticking with the main guys. I think the biggest question. I think Drew Breeze has a huge week. Yes. Huge week. I would love to play Drew Breeze over my Phillip Rivers. Please someone drop Drew Breeze in our league. Please. The whole Philip Rivers thing for you is so entertaining to me. It's the worst. You don't want to play him. I really don't have to play him. But you really don't want to play him.
