šŸˆ Week 11 Smash Spots & Landmines

It's Jaylen Warren szn...

Hey, Movers!

Trying something new here.

Below, I highlight the best and worst matchups by position for Week 11.

Each chart will highlight each team’s positional fantasy points per game scored this season on the x-axis, and their Week 11 opponent’s positional fantasy points per game allowed on the y-axis. Basically, you want your player's team logo to be high on the y-axis of this chart, indicating a favorable Week 11 matchup.

Below each chart, I highlight ā€œSmash Spotsā€, aka good matchups, and ā€œLandminesā€, or bad matchups, for relevant players at the position. I didn’t include any players who are top 10 scorers at the position over the last month, as they’re likely locked into your starting lineup and just aren’t as interesting to discuss as a result.

However, you will notice I covered players like Breece Hall (RB12 over the last month) and Derrick Henry (RB15 over the last month). Those guys are also almost certainly in your starting lineup, but I wanted to include them and similar players in this writeup so you can temper expectations for good players in bad spots.

To be clear, these are not start/sit recommendations, especially when it comes to the higher caliber players listed. I am not telling you to bench Derrick Henry.

Rather, this is useful matchup information that can be utilized for start/sit decisions, potential flex plays, or just to get an idea of how your guys might perform this week.

All data below comes from FantasyPoints. Without further ado…
