1. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs have been abysmal offensively in 2009 and will now be without WR Dwayne Bowe on Sunday. Expect Pittsburgh and its aggressive front to dominate all afternoon and pressure Cassel into mistakes and turnovers.
2. Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Vikings defense could get healthier with the return of CB Antoine Winfield, but regardless of whether he returns or not, look for a stellar effort on Sunday. Jared Allen and Co. will make Hasselback’s life miserable and force a few turnovers in Week 11.
3. Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins
Don’t be misled by the Redskins 27 point game vs. the Broncos; Denver is in a tail spin right now. The Cowboys on the other hand are playing much better over the past month and DT Ratliff and DE/LB Ware will be in Campbell’s face all day Sunday.
4. Cincinnati Bengals vs. Oakland Raiders
The only reason the Bengals wouldn’t be a top fantasy football unit on Sunday is if they have a letdown knowing the hapless Raiders are coming to town. If they can get past that, and we think they can, expect a low scoring game with multiple sacks and turnovers.
Sleepers
1. Carolina Panthers vs. Miami Dolphins
Since Ronnie Brown is likely out for this one, the Panthers only have Ricky Williams to contend with. And Carolina’s defense has played much better over the past month of the season vs. the run. Expect John Fox to mix it up and force Chad Henne into poor decisions.
2. Detroit Lions vs. Cleveland Browns
The Browns are horrible offensively and even more atrocious on the road. The Lions certainly aren’t anything to write home about, but look for Jim Schwartz to have his team ready to play and they’re a strong fantasy sleeper in Week 11.
Others We Like
Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Packers defense rose to the occasion nearly shutting out the Cowboys in Week Ten. They’ll focus on taking away Frank Gore and putting the ball – and game – into Alex Smith’s hands, which is a good sign for Packers D/ST owners.
New York Giants vs. Atlanta Falcons
If DC Bill Sheridan used the bye week to clean up some of his defensive calls, the Giants could be in for a big week here. The Falcons will be without Michael Turner which means New York won’t have to worry about a running game. If they hit Matt Ryan early, look for Tuck and Co. to rack up a few sacks and force turnovers.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears
The Bears, and namely their passing game, are struggling mightily at the moment. The Eagles defense is the opportunistic sort and we like them to pick Cutler at least twice on Sunday Night and sack him a handful of times.
