NFL Week 11 Predictions: Bold Predictions for Under-the-Radar Players

Each weekend in the NFL a variety of unheralded players make a name for themselves with an impressive performance. 

The superstars aren't the only guys that deliver. 

Which under-the-radar players will emerge this week?

Marshawn Lynch 

We already know about Lynch's capabilities, but rarely is he a top fantasy runner. 

This week he is.

He's facing the league's worst run defense and is coming off two straight games in which he eclipsed the 100-yard plateau on the ground.

The Seahawks realize they have a game manager in Tarvaris Jackson and that Lynch is their best offensive weapon.

Beast Mode will continue his hot streak in St. Louis this weekend.

Prediction: 26 carries, 134 yards 1 TD 

Earl Bennett 

Bennett has returned from his early season chest injury and made an instant impact on the Bears passing game. 

He had six passes for 81 yards last week against the Lions and has been Jay Cutler's favorite target, especially over the middle against Cover 2 defenses. 

The Chargers have a respectable secondary, but as they'll put most of their defensive onus on stopping Matt Forte, Bennett will have another solid game in front of his home crowd. 

Prediction: 8 catches, 74 yards 1 TD 

Jake Ballard 

Ballard started the year as a blocking tight end, but has emerged as a legitimate pass-catching threat for Eli Manning and the Giants. 

The Eagles secondary is unquestionably over-hyped and they'll have their hands full with Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz on Sunday. 

Yes, that means Ballard will once again be Manning's check down option and go-to target in the red zone. 

In New York's rout of Philadelphia, Ballard will play a big role. 

Kevin Boss, who?

Prediction: 5 catches, 60 yards 1 TD
