Fantasy Football Checkdown: Week 11 Advice and Rankings

To those of you who spent Sunday cursing my name because you took my advice and started Josh McCown over Kirk Cousins, I’m sorry. I busted big-time with my advice in Week 10, only hitting half of my fantasy football tips. This kind of mediocrity is not acceptable around here, and I am promising a better effort this week. To ensure you’re aware of the sanctity of a promise around here, if my advice isn’t better this week, I will chug an entire boat of gravy on Facebook Live during the Thanksgiving games next Thursday.

Don’t get too excited, though, this week’s advice is going to come through. As always, you can find my top sleeper plays and big-name busts at each major position in the video below, and underneath that you’ll find my full positional rankings.
