Week 11 Fantasy Plays

Week 11 gives us many options on the waiver wire in most 12-14 team leagues. If these players are still available, they could help you win your week 11.

Jason Snelling, Atl RB
Snelling has been running hard this season when he has had the chance to. Last week, with the departure of Michael Turner, Snelling stepped in and carried the ball 16 times for 61 yards and one touchdown. This week he faces a challenge in the top ranked New York Giants defense who are fresh off a bye, but they rank 13th against the run, giving up 106 rushing ypg and 12 TD's. Matt Ryan has struggled for the Falcons, throwing 8 INT's the last 4 games. He needs to pick up first downs and limit interceptions so that can increase the carries for Snelling. Although reports say Jerrious Norwood will be starting, his role may be limited fresh off an injury and Snelling has proven he has been a tough runner to bring down. Projection: 19 rushes, 89 yards, 2 TD's

Matthew Stafford, Det QB
The Lions play the Browns this weekend. That should be reason enough to play Stafford. For teams that don't have a quality QB, Stafford is a great play this week. He finally gets a healthy Calvin Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew. Staffiord has settled down a little since his 5 INT game against Seattle week 9, and Stafford played very well against the Vikings last week, throwing for 224 yards and 1 TD. Detroit has a lot of weapons that can be exploited against a horrible Browns squad. Look for solid fantasy numbers from Stafford this Sunday. Projection: 260 pass yards, 2 TD passes, 1 INT

Robert Meachem, NO WR
This may seem like a stretch, but if you don't have a favorable matchup for your flex player, I like Meachem. He has been inconsistent this season, but recently he seems to have one bad game followed by a good game, good news is, last week he had a bad game. He only has 14 catches this season, but 11 of them have been for first downs. As the #4 receiver on the team, he has 4 TD's which is pretty impressive. Brees likes to spread the ball around, and if Meachem can continue to pick up first downs, he and Brees can gain some confidence and make some plays. Projection: 5 catches, 65 yards, 1 TD
