Fantasy Football Start em, Sit em Lineup Advice: Week 11

Tucker Kraft (TE)

Kraft has been balling this year as the TE8 in fantasy points per game. Among tight ends, he is tenth in receiving yards, second in yards after the catch, and sixth in red zone targets. He has a 12.5% target share, 1.74 YPRR, and an 11.3% first-read share. Chicago is 15th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends while also giving up the tenth-most receiving yards per game to the position.

Cedric Tillman (WR)

Since Week 7, Tillman has had a 22.3% target share, 1.90 YPRR, and a 27.2% first-read share. He has averaged 85 receiving yards per game with weekly fantasy finishes as the WR10, WR3, and WR12. In those three games, Tillman has had four red zone targets. He’s been nothing short of awesome. We’ll see if he can keep it going this week against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the tenth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Bo Nix (QB)

Since Week 5, Nix has been the QB7 in fantasy points per game. Among 31 qualifying passers during this span, he has been 11th in passing grade, 17th in yards per attempt, 23rd in big-time throw rate, and 12th in adjusted completion rate. Nix should have no problem chopping up the dirty birds’ defensive coverages this week. Atlanta has allowed the seventh-most passing touchdowns, the fourth-highest CPOE, and the 12th-highest EPA per dropback.
