NFL Week 11 Predictions: Bold Predictions for Week's Top Playmakers

Chris TrapassoNov 17, 2011

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Calvin Johnson typically have huge games each week and are some of the main reasons why their teams are successful. 

How will these guys and the NFL's other top playmakers fare in Week 11?

Is there anyone better in prime time?

Huge game for Brady against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Wes Welker will move around the formation to get favorable matchups (preferably ones away from Brandon Flowers), and Rob Gronkowski will continue his epic sophomore campaign with a few touchdown passes from inside the red zone. 

The guy is a total beast. 

We've seen a little drop-off from Brady's historic start to the season, but I don't think 400 yards through the air and three touchdown passes are out of the question for him this week. 

Aaron Rodgers 

Quick note on Rodgers.

The Buccaneers scored 24, 27 and 37 points in their last three games—all losses. 

The Packers will roll the Bucs at home, and Mr. Rodgers will have another game with a passer rating above 110. 

I'm not sure if the Vikings can withstand the Raiders' potent rushing attack and their speed on the outside, but AP should have a monster game against Oakland. 

Why? 

Because the Raiders allow 5.2 yards per carry, Peterson's exact per-carry average at home. 

The Vikings realize they aren't going to win games with Ponder throwing the ball 40-plus times a game, so to counter Oakland's premier rushing attack, they'll run Peterson early and often. 

He'll finish with 100-plus yards and a few touchdown scampers. 

Fred Jackson 

Despite the Bills' recent two-game slide, Fred Jackson leads the NFL in rushing yards. The Dolphins are allowing a respectable 3.8 yards per carry this season, while Jackson averages 5.2 yards per rush. 

Something has got to give. 

While I don't think Jackson, behind a jumbled offensive line, will have an extremely productive day on the ground, I think he'll be utilized in the screen game and will finish the day with over 100 yards of total offense.

It's become the norm with him. 

Calvin Johnson 

Johnson was held out of the end zone last week, but the Panthers' defense is hardly the Bears' defense. 

Matthew Stafford will be more poised in front of his home crowd, and Johnson will have another "mega" day. 

I expect between six and eight catches for over 120 yards with a score. 

Just another day at the office for No. 81.
