Fantasy Football: Sit ‘Em Week 11

Quarterback

Jason Campbell, Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell may have started to play better over the last few weeks of the season, but with the Pittsburgh Steelers being their next opponent, Campbell is definitely someone you should consider benching this week.

Running Back

Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have seemingly turned the corner this season with a new found confidence on both sides of the football, but it has been running back Darren McFadden that has made this team the second best running team in the league.

In Week 11 though, the Oakland Raiders will be going up against the best run defense in the league in the Pittsburgh Steelers. With that being said, sitting McFadden this week would be a wise decision.

Wide Receiver

Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now as superstar quarterback Michael Vick has taken this team to the next level, but in Week 11 they will go head to head against the division rival New York Giants who are one of the best defensive teams in the league and will be looking to put the brakes on Vick and his potent offense.

Even though Michael Vick and company will put some points on the board, I would think twice about starting Jeremy Maclin as the Eagles will most likely be limited to sticking with the ground game.

Tight End

Chris Cooley, Washington Redskins

In the past, Chris Cooley has been arguably one of the better tight ends in the league and a great fantasy football option, but he has struggled this season and should be a player you should consider sitting this weekend when the Washington Redskins take on the Tennessee Titans.

Defense

Minnesota Vikings

The Green Bay Packers are battling back and forth with the Chicago Bears right now for first place in the NFC North division and this weekend they will go head to head against the Minnesota Vikings in a game that could propel Aaron Rodgers and company into the top spot.

Even though I believe the Vikings could get the best of the Packers this weekend, it would be wise to sit the Minnesota defense as they will most likely struggle against the potent offense of Green Bay.
