Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Weekly: The NFL in Week 11
By Sean Eck
Running Back
Kareem Hunt $8,000
Hunt started the season a fantasy monster but has come back down to earth as the season has progressed. The Giants are the 30th ranked at stopping the run giving up 132.6 yards-per-game to opposing running backs. This is a prime week for Hunt to get his carries and yards back on the pace he was at in weeks one-three. Hunt being such a big part of the passing game also helps him here as the Giants are also ranked 30th in the league in passing yards against per game giving up 267.8 a game on average. Look for Hunt to have his second game of 150+ yards on the ground and at least two combined touchdowns.
Doug Martin $4,500

With Fitzpatrick under center last week Martin got 20 carries tying his season high. The Dolphins are a much worse run defense than the Jets and Martin could be the key for the Buccaneers in the contest. The Dolphins are giving up 116.2 yards- per game to opposing backs and rank 27th in the league in fantasy points against. This could be a make or break week for the Buccaneers season as they try to string two wins together and Martin could go off. Watch for Martin to hit the 100 yard mark for the first time this season with a pair of touchdowns.
Jamaal Williams $4,900
Williams is the beneficiary of being the last man standing in the Packers backfield. He capitalized in the previous week with a career-high 20 touches for 67 yards. The Packers have shown they want to run the ball early and often with Hundley as their quarterback so Williams could be in line for 20+ carries again this week against a Ravens team that is 28th in the league giving up 125.9 yards- per- game. Watch for Williams to hit the 100-yard mark on the ground and score at least one touchdown.
