Daily Fantasy Football November 19: DFS Stock Up, Stock Down

The NFL is constantly changing from week to week and sometimes day to day, and it's important for daily fantasy football players to keep up with the movement.

Sometimes, the biggest stars from one week might disappear the next, while a new, out-of-nowhere star comes to light up the box scores. If you are capable of keeping up, you can be one step ahead of the rest of the competition.

Here to help you out is a look at the latest stock report for Nov. 19.

Stock Up

Blake Bortles, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars ($5,900)

For those of you starting your contests on Thursday, adding Blake Bortles is a good way to get your week off to a nice start.

The second-year passer has become one of the most consistent fantasy producers in the league, throwing multiple touchdown passes in each of his last five games and seven of nine overall. Although he was limited to just 188 passing yards last week, a lot of that had to do with the Baltimore Ravens turning the ball over four times and shortening the field.

Luckily for fantasy owners, the Jaguars defense isn't good enough to make a habit out of making plays, giving Bortles an opportunity to move the chains a few times before getting into the end zone.

While the Tennessee Titans rank third in the league in passing yards allowed per game, they are actually 27th in yards allowed per pass attempt. With Jacksonville always willing to throw a lot, Bortles should bounce back with a big game.

Charcandrick West, RB, Kansas City Chiefs ($4,500)

Over the last three games, Charcandrick West has become a fantasy star. He has scored at least 22 points on DraftKings in each contest, including 31.1 against the vaunted Denver Broncos defense. JJ Zachariason of numberFire made a bold statement on the Chiefs running back after the game:

Considering West is averaging 25 touches over the past three games while scoring at least a touchdown in each, this is tough to argue.

Week 11 could especially be a big one for West, who faces a San Diego Chargers defense allowing the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Despite the hot streak and the matchup, his salary is actually cheaper than it was last week ($4,800). Rather than wonder why, just take the gift and put him on your team.

Brandon LaFell, WR, New England Patriots ($4,300)

With Julian Edelman out with a foot injury, Tom Brady will have to throw the ball somewhere. Rob Gronkowski certainly won't get all of the targets going forward.

Danny Amendola is expected to get a boost in playing time, but LaFell is the one already in the lineup and has been trusted in big moments. Even after a terrible debut where he couldn't hold onto the ball, the Patriots have continued to feature the veteran receiver with an average of 7.5 targets per game. This number could increase with few alternatives on the roster.

Considering how good the Patriots offense has been this year, anyone with a significant role is worthy of fantasy consideration. For this cost, LaFell remains a high-upside option in Week 11.

Stock Down

Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Denver Broncos ($7,000)

Although he played through an ankle injury in Week 10, Emmanuel Sanders couldn't bring in any of his four targets on a rough day for the Broncos all around. To make matters worse, he didn't practice Wednesday, per Mike Klis of 9News.

Even in a fully functioning offense, it would be difficult to trust Sanders this week against a Chicago Bears defense surprisingly allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards in football.

Of course, the problems go much deeper than this for the Broncos. Peyton Manning will miss the upcoming game while dealing with a foot injury, giving Brock Osweiler his first career start. With so much unknown about the inexperienced quarterback, there is no way you should pick Sanders for your fantasy team this week.

Randall Cobb, WR, Green Bay Packers ($6,700)

The production simply hasn't been there lately for Randall Cobb. He has just one touchdown over his last six games, with the score coming on a 53-yard catch against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Other than that one play, his best performance in this stretch came this past week when he finished with five catches for 53 yards.

This simply won't do for any fantasy player, let alone one who comes with a relatively high price tag.

While the return of Davante Adams was supposed to free up space for Cobb, Adams instead took away targets, with the second-year player getting an incredible 21 looks in Week 10. With Aaron Rodgers seeming off over the past few weeks, there is simply little reason to expect a dramatic change Sunday, especially against a tough Minnesota Vikings defense. 

Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals ($5,000)

There is always a threat for Jeremy Hill to get a touchdown or multiple scores in a game, but at this point, that is all you are betting on with the Bengals running back. Matt Harmon of NFL.com summed up the team's backfield during Monday night's loss:

Cincinnati might have given up on the idea of Hill being a productive player in Week 10, as he finished with a season-low seven carries for just 15 rushing yards. According to Pro Football Focus, Hill also only had 22 snaps compared to 50 for Giovani Bernard.

He hasn't reached double-digit fantasy points in any of the last three games and now faces the No. 4 run defense in the NFL in the Arizona Cardinals. If you are just hoping for touchdowns, you might be better off playing the lottery.
