Week 11 Start Em Sit Em: Brandon Jacobs and Others to Start

Regardless of how well your doing in fantasy football, there's always a few players who you may be on the fence with in terms of starting or sitting.

That said, here are three players to start in Week 11 who most likely weren't considered until recently.

Brandon Jacobs: RB, Giants (vs Eagles)

According to Mike Garafolo of The Star-Ledger, Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw is most likely out in Week 11:

"

"The Giants’ running back, who missed the past two games with a stress fracture in his foot, will likely sit out Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to someone informed of Bradshaw’s expected status. The person requested anonymity because the team has not publicly estimated whether Bradshaw will be available to play."

"

So with that in mind, be sure to give Brandon Jacobs the start on Sunday. Also, even if Bradshaw does suit up this week, you have to ask yourself; how much will he play and if so, will he play well?

Therefore, keep Bradshaw on the bench no matter what his status is on gameday and start Jacobs. The Eagles have a weak rush defense, and when the two met in Week 3, Jacobs accounted for 61 yards and one TD.

Laurent Robinson: WR, Cowboys (at Redskins)

In an article by Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News, WR Miles Austin may miss Dallas' Week 11 matchup in Washington:

"

"Wide receiver Miles Austin (pulled right hamstring), didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. Kosier and Holland are expected to play Sunday at Washington, but Austin and Jenkins aren't expected to be ready to play Sunday."

"

So, regardless of fellow Austin's status on gameday, Dallas WR Laurent Robinson should earn a start from you this week. As of recent he's arguably been the Cowboys' most reliable receiver and has four TDs in the last three games.

On the road this week in Washington, expect Dallas to have another solid offensive performance from everyone including Robinson. The Redskins have a solid defense, but are vulnerable to the pass, especially if the ground game can set it up.

To that end, Robinson may start off slow; however, he'll have another productive day and earn you some nice fantasy points.

Harry Douglas: WR, Falcons (vs Titans)

According to Orlando Ledbetter and Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, rookie WR Julio Jones missed practice on Wednesday:

"

"Wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and safety William Moore (quadriceps) did not practice with injuries. Jones injured his right hamstring against the Saints and did not play in the second half. Both worked with trainers Wednesday."

"

So with the status of Jones still up in the air, make sure you take a gander at WR Harry Douglas, provided that he's still available.

Last week Douglas caught eight passes for 133 yards and one TD against the Saints, so you can expect more of the same from him against Tennessee if Matt Ryan targets him just as much. Tennessee's defense has proven to step up at times but not consistently enough against legit passing offenses.
