Week 11 NFL Showdowns: Who's Passing and Who's Running?
Jacksonville Jaguars: Forcing Teams to Pass
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been dominating defenses in the last month, forcing opponents to throw the ball at the highest rate in the league. This is great news for the Chargers, who excel in the passing game.
- Key Players to Watch:
- Ladd McConkey
- Quentin Johnston
- Keenan Allen (if Oronde Gadsden II is injured)
Houston Texans: Capitalizing on Titans' Weakness
The Houston Texans are set to face the Tennessee Titans, who have been allowing a lot of passing yards. With the Texans' strong passing game this season, this matchup could be a fantasy goldmine.
- Potential Fantasy Stars:
- Jaylen Noel
- Jayden Higgins (in deeper leagues)
Buffalo Bills: Struggling Against the Run
The Buffalo Bills have been struggling to stop the run, allowing the most yards after contact per rush since Week 6. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might want to exploit this weakness by running the ball more.
- Key Consideration:
- Emeka Egbuka might still see passing opportunities.
Chicago Bears: Run-Heavy Offense
Under new coach Ben Johnson, the Chicago Bears have become a run-first team. Facing the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the fifth lowest pass rate over expected this season, the Bears' running backs could have a big day.
- Key Players to Watch:
- D'Andre Swift
- Kyle Monangai (flex option in deeper leagues)
