1. QB Matt Schaub vs. Tennessee Titans
The Titans have improved defensively since the bye week but they’re still vulnerable against the pass. The Texans will pass in order to win on Monday Night and we like Schaub to hook up with Johnson, Walter and Jones for a few big plays and scores. 250 yards and two or three TDs is certainly within reach.
2. RB Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Buffalo Bills
The Bills are extremely beat up on defense and haven’t stopped anybody this season on the ground. And that’s not going to start this week. Maurice Jones-Drew has been on fire over the past three games (377 yards, 4TDs) and will go wild in Week 11. A 150 yard game is not out of the question.
3. WR Larry Fitzgerald vs. St. Louis Rams
The Rams are playing better ball on defense but lack the quality DBs to keep up with a player like Fitzgerald. He and Warner should have a field day in St. Louis and we think Larry could score twice on Sunday.
Fantasy Busts
1. QB Matt Ryan vs. New York Giants
The likely absence of RB Michael Turner makes the Falcons offense much less imposing. His running ability set-up everything for the passing game. Without the fear of a running threat, the Giants can be more creative on defense and keep Atlanta one dimensional, which will limit Ryan’s effectiveness.
2. RB Ryan Grant vs. San Francisco 49ers
Grant’s already endured a tough year running behind a line that cannot open up holes. This week it gets even tougher; the Niners bring the No. 3 ranked run defense to Lambeau on Sunday and will keep this running game in check all afternoon.
3, WR Miles Austin vs. Washington Redskins
Defenses have begun to shift coverage Austin’s way and outside of his lone catch (TD) vs. Philly, he’s been shutdown the past few weeks. Expect the Redskins to keep an extra eye on his side of the field and for Austin to once again be shut down.
