Fantasy Football: Week 11 Pickups

Running backs

Fred Taylor (Jags)- Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards last week against the Lions. He also caught a pass for 18 yards and finished the game with six more carries than starting RB Maurice-Jones Drew. Taylor also became the 17th player in NFL history to eclipse 11,000 rushing yards.

Dantrell Savage (Chiefs)- Savage led the team in rushing due to the ankle injury Jaamal Charles suffered on the first play of the game. He rushed the ball 11 times for 44 yards and could split carries with Larry Johnson if he returns in Week 11.

Wide Receivers

Mark Bradley (Chiefs)- Bradley has 18 receptions over his past three games with two touchdowns. He had his best game of season last week catching nine balls for 81 yards and a TD against the Chargers. Bradley led all receivers with 14 targets in Week 10 and is taking advantage of teams focusing on TE Tony Gonzalez and WR Dwayne Bowe.

Brandon Jones (Titans)- Jones has at least four catches in his past three games and had his best game of the season last week catching eight balls for 82 yards against the Bears.

Bobby Wade (Vikings)- Wade has at least three receptions in his past seven games and is 31st in the league with 36 catches. He has favorable matchups coming up against the Lions and Cardinals in Weeks 14 and 15.

Tight End

Matt Spaeth (Steelers)- Spaeth did a formidable job filling in for starting TE Heath Miller last week. He caught six balls for 53 yards and could get another start with Miller resting his ankle. Spaeth has a favorable matchup against the Chargers this week.

Kicker

Phil Dawson (Browns)- Dawson has 32 points over his past three games and has converted all eight of his field goal attempts. The Browns offense looked better last Thursday with QB Brady Quinn under center which could mean more opportunities for Dawson.

Defense

Raiders- The Raiders had an impressive outing last week sacking Panthers QB Jake Delhomme two times and picking him off four times. He had his worst game of the season finishing 7-27 for 72 yards. The Raiders defensive unit can have another decent game vs. the Dolphins this week.
