Monkey Knife Fight Advice: Week 11 (2022 Fantasy Football)

Welcome to Monkey Knife Fight. Monkey Knife Fight is one of the more intriguing entrants in the DFS arena. Instead of the traditional salary cap based contests, Monkey Knife Fight allows DFS players to put their fantasy football knowledge and predictive powers to the test.

They offer fantasy point and stat-based contests. Perhaps the most appealing of all of their offerings is the ‘More or Less’ contests. In these contests, you can choose whether a player will fall above or below totals for a preset combination of two to 10 players. Your win probability obviously goes down with the more players you add, but you receive an increased payout multiplier in exchange.

Since Monkey Knife Fight’s fantasy point and stat-based totals are dynamic, meaning the total, total type, and pairings change throughout the week, it is important to search for favorable and advantageous total pairings to exploit on a daily basis. Ideally, when choosing a total pairing, you want to feel extremely confident on one of the totals and feel strongly enough about the other total to proceed. This week we will take a look at two of the ‘More’ options that stood out the most for Week 11. Note that these are not locked in pairings, and may no longer be offered by the time you log in to make your picks.

Plays of the week

Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS): 69.5 receiving yards
Terry McLaurin is getting back to the player we all know and love now that Taylor Heinicke is under center. He has recorded 73 or more receiving yards in three of his last four, seeing at least eight targets in each. McLaurin was slated to do battle with impressive rookie cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., but the bourgeoning lockdown corner has been ruled out for Week 11, improving McLaurin’s probability to hit the More this weekend. The Texans have allowed at least one 95 yard receiver in six of nine games this season and are going to have their hands full without Stingley. McLaurin has been a top read on most of Heinicke’s dropbacks, targeting him 30 percent of the time. There is a distinct lack of value in the 69.5 number based on the market but for MKF purposes still represents one of the top offerings on the board. Roll with McLaurin for Week 11 at MonkeyKnifeFight.
Prediction: More

Justin Fields (QB – CHI): 79.5 rushing yards
Fields has been on fire in the rushing department, topping 82 rushing yards in four of his last five outings. Instead of slowing down when opposing teams realized he now has the green light to run, Fields has actually improved in his most recent games, averaging 111 rushing yards per game over those five but 162.5 rushing yards in his last two. Atlanta has yet to face an elite rushing quarterback this season, so their standing as the best quarterback rush defense is incredibly misleading. Roll with form. Fields is on fire and has enough around him to help keep defenses honest.
