Every week we go match up by match up and tell you who your must starts, gut calls and bench players are for the game. We can’t cover every player but we should be able to answer those burning questions as to whether or not this is a good match up for one of your questionable players. Let the fun begin....

Detroit Lions (7-2) at Arizona Cardinals (8-1) Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Calvin Johnson– #4 Ranked WR Welcome back Mr. Johnson. I would say 113 yards, 1 touchdown and 15 targets is a pretty nice way to come back! Can’t be mad about him being the 9th highest scoring receiver last week when he was supposed to be used on a limited basis, uh huh…sure. Megatraon is the man and he is Stafford’s main target. If he is healthy, then you are starting him. Plain and simple. Golden Tate– #16 Ranked WR With Megatron back, gone are the 20+ point games but you can still expect to see numbers like last week with 10 points. He had over a 100 yards and was targeted 11 times. There is plenty of love to go around and Golden Tate will still see a lot of it. Keep playing this guy. Gut Calls Matthew Stafford– #7 Ranked QB Stafford actually didn’t have that much better of a game than he has been having the past few weeks. With that said, now that he has Meagtron back it should open up the field a bit since they will need to cover both Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate. Arizona is a tough match-up but having a deadly duo in the air should help. Bench Warmers Joique Bell– #21 Ranked Bell has just been okay the past couple weeks and this week doesn’t look any more promising. The Cardinals give up the 2nd fewest points to running backs which is not pretty for Bell. Even more...

We partnered with RotoBaller to give you accurate and timely Week 11 waiver wire adds, running backs and more. In turn, they post our podcast to their site (which is centered around setting your weekly lineups). Enjoy! This article originally appeared on RotoBaller, our new partner. How is it that we are heading into Week 11? It seems like just yesterday that I (Bobby Koch)was writing preseason articles, and now here we are. The fantasy playoffs are drawing near, and some of you are still in contention to bring home that fantasy title. Let’s try to help you find that waiver wire or sleeper running back who will lead your fantasy football team’s victory parade or help you claw your way into the playoffs. Good luck in Week 11 RotoBallers. Fantasy Football Running Backs (RB) – Week 11 C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) – 4% owned on Fleaflicker Man, Montee Ball really picked a bad week not to be able to come back. Ronnie Hillman went and got himself injured (just like all people who held onto Ball for this long were hoping). By the way, if you were holding onto Ball in a non-dynasty format may I ask why? Anyways, in the absence of Hillman, C.J. Anderson really showed up for the Broncos. What do I mean by really showed up? Oh well, he just rushed 13 times for 90 yards and caught four receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. You know, no big deal. Even if Hillman is able to go next week, I’d expect the Broncos to go with the hot hand in C.J. Anderson. The return...

Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Lion’s Defense– #8 Ranked DEF The Lion’s defense is the 4th highest scoring defense in the league which makes them a must start, even against a hot Tannehill right now. Gut Calls Joique Bell– #19 Ranked RB Bell is in the gut call section for a combination of reason. First, he didn’t play all that well in week 8 against a less than tough Falcons team but before that he scored 15 and 11 points so it’s a toss up. Secondly, Reggie Bush will be back which means that Bell will be splitting touches which puts his possible production into question. Lastly, the Dolphins are a beast of a defense and are giving up the fewest yards per play in the NFL with 4.7 yards, Moral of the story is the Dolphins are legit and Bell is a risky start at best. Calvin Johnson– #4 Ranked WR It has been long few weeks for Calvin Johnson owners out there and when you hear that he is coming back you want to rejoice. Well…hold on there. This is the not the match up you were hoping for. The Dolphins have only allowed 5 total touchdowns all season long. They are tough folks. Johnson is expected to have limited touches so while I know it will be hard you might want to wait on him for a week. Golden Tate– #22 Ranked WR Tate has been on fire and has been the go-to while Johnson has been out. The tough part is with Johnson’s expected return...

Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Miami Dolphins Defense– #10 Ranked DEF Here is the deal, you generally don’t play a defense against the Lions because the Lions are capable of offensive greatness, but the Dolphins have been on fire so why not play them. When a team can score 20 points against the team that gives up the 2nd fewest points to defenses than you should have no worries about playing them. You don’t bench the top defense in the league especially when they have put up 46 points the past 2 weeks. Lovin’ on the Dolphins defense right now. Gut Calls Miami Wide Receivers– This is what Mike Wallace owners were hoping wasn’t going to happen. They got all cozy with Tannehill practically solely targeting Wallace but now he is spreading the wealth around to Landry and Rishad Matthews who each have 2 touchdowns a piece since the bye week and neither had scored before the bye week. Wallace also has a pair of touchdowns since the bye week but he hasn’t found the end zone since week 7. No one could be mad at you for holding off on Wallace until you see if this tide will turn. Lamar Miller– #15 Ranked RB Miller is usually in the must start category but he sprained his AC joint in his shoulder which makes him slightly less of a given. He is reportedly going to play this week but he will likely not be as productive as he could be. The Lions have a very tough line so if...
