Big playoff implications #StartSitESPN- rick harrison (@rickhsells) November 20, 2016It all comes down to upside. Brady is still one of the best percentage plays of the week, but with Rob Gronkowski and Chris Hogan out and Julian Edelman and Martellus Bennett both listed as questionable, Bradys upside potential might not be as great as Mariotas. Add in Mariota having posted 25 or more points in four of his last six games and it would give him the upside edge here. -- KC@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Bortles or Tyrod?- Billy Holland (@LilBillHolland) November 20, 2016The main issue for Taylor is how much of his production of late has occurred on the ground, as 29 of the 65 points he has scored over the past three weeks were the result of rushing plays. Its a bit risky to assume that this type of ground production will continue, so Bortles would be the selection. -- KCStandard scoring would you go with Rob Kelley or Jordan Howard? #StartSitESPN- wxlee (@WilliamOexle) November 20, 2016Since both players are bell-cow ball carriers for their respective teams, the tiebreaker here can be found in receptions. Kelley has caught only two passes this year in part because Washington has a strong third-down back in Chris Thompson (who has 30 receptions on the year). Howard leads the Bears running backs in targets (24) and receptions (18), so the tiebreaker goes in his direction. -- KC#StartSitESPN Todd Gurley or Latavius Murray? Standard scoring- Christine (@TeenahTine) November 20, 2016Gurley has not posted a single game this year when his good blocking yards per attempt (GBYPA, my measure of running back productivity when receiving quality run blocking) was above the league average of 8.2. Gurley is also battling a thigh injury and is on a team that has a rookie quarterback making his first start (Jared Goff). Murray has an injury issue of his own, but otherwise has an edge in every other area, so he is the pick here. -- KC#StartSitESPN Jordan Reed or Eric Ebron? @ESPNFantasy- My5sons? (@TweetingLaurenX) November 20, 2016Over the past three games, the Packers have allowed 24 receptions for 276 yards and two touchdowns to opponents tight ends. Since the Washington-Green Bay contest is quite likely to turn into a shootout, Reed should be used very often in an effort to exploit this coverage weakness and thus gets the nod here. -- KC#StartSitESPN Big Ben or Mariota? Worried about the wind in Cleveland- John Woodward (@jwoodward1776) November 20, 2016The wind could certainly cause the Steelers to run the ball more, but they could also be motivated to re-establish the ground game after last weeks rushing debacle against Dallas that saw LeVeon Bell gain only 57 yards on 17 carries. The weather wont be a factor in Indianapolis, but injuries to both of the Colts starting cornerbacks could make the Titans want to test their aerial attack as much as possible. Those factors mark Mariota the choice here. -- KC@ESPNFantasy Brate @ KC...do I stream Julius Thomas or Fiedorowicz?? #StartSitESPN- Velvet Jones (@DSTRK_KWBY) November 20, 2016My matchup grade rating system measures matchups on a 0-100 scale, with 100 being the most favorable. C.J. Fiedorowicz does well in this area with 65 matchup points in Week 11, but Thomas has a rare 100 score in his matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed a touchdown to opponents tight ends in all but two games this year. That type of matchup advantage makes Thomas the selection in this one. -- KCStefon Diggs or Jimmy Graham (PPR) #FantasyFootball #StartSitESPN #FFNow- Matthew Aung (@Aunger95) November 20, 2016The Cardinals are likely to be without Tyrann Mathieu in this game. That should help Diggs, but he still has to contend with Patrick Peterson, one of the leagues best shutdown cornerbacks. The Eagles secondary has allowed the second-fewest points per game to opponents tight ends but have allowed five or more tight end receptions in two of the past three weeks. Seattle will aim to test Philadelphias coverage in this area, and that gives Graham the advantage in this matchup. -- KC@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Dolphins or Seahawks D/ST?- Corey Rittmaster (@CoreyRittmaster) November 20, 2016The Rams offense is about as favorable a matchup as a D/ST can face, as it gives the Dolphins a rare perfect 100 matchup points total in my grading system. Add in Los Angeles starting a rookie quarterback and Gurley battling an ankle injury, and Miami is the way to go in this one. -- KC@ESPNFantasy.... Carson Palmer or Collin Kaepernick? ...should I mention Im a patriots fan?! #StartSitESPN- Kristen Vadala (@KristenVadala) November 20, 2016So the real question here is can you justify starting Palmer so you dont have to root for Kaepernick against the Patriots? The Vikings have allowed 14, 14 and 18 points to opponents quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Minnesota has also allowed 95 or more rushing yards to opponents running backs in each of the past four games and gave up 120 or more rushing yards in two of those games. Those elements place a ceiling on Palmer that is likely to be in the 14-18 point range. Kaepernick wont get much done in the air with Torrey Smith likely to be out of this game, but his rushing ability will likely keep him around the same point range as Palmer, so feel free to bench Kaepernick and start Palmer. -- KC#StartSitESPN Ladarius green or Kelce- Brian Austin (@brianaustin83) November 20, 2016Kelce has a perfect 100 score in the rating system. He could also be tops on the Chiefs passing target priority list since Jeremy Maclin is out for this game. Greens matchup is just as favorable, but he was limited in some practices this week and isnt anywhere near as high on the Steelers passing target priority list. That makes Kelce the pick in this one. -- KCRishard Matthews or Starks at my flex #StartSitESPN- Trish Diaz (@trailrunner02) November 20, 2016The Colts secondary will be missing one of its starting cornerbacks (Patrick Robinson), and its other starting cornerback (Vontae Davis) is battling an injury. Those factors give the Titans passing attack a potentially huge boost, and they make Matthews the selection in this one. -- KC@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN PPR Eifert or Walker??- John A Specht (@killerwarhawk) November 20, 2016Delanie Walker has an awesome target share of the Titans offense, especially with Marcus Mariotas amazing red zone production -- the quarterback has 30 touchdowns and no interceptions in the red zone over his career. While Tyler Eifert has been productive in his return, matchup and volume favor Walker, who has averaged 7.6 receptions and 82 yards against the Colts in three meetings since last season. -- J.M.Do I start Bortles or Taylor in week 11? #StartSitESPN- Kristen Dunkle (@kristendunkle) November 20, 2016Still sticking with Taylors higher floor thanks to such steady rushing production. -- J.M.Deandre Hopkins or Cameron Meredith? Cant believe Im asking..#StartSitESPN- Travis Garner (@TwGarner8) November 20, 2016Brock Osweilers inefficiency (last in yards per dropback) limits the appeal for Hopkins, but his massive target share still gives him the edge over peers like Meredith, who hasnt yet established a rapport with Jay Cutler. - J.M.#StartSitESPN Danny Amendola or riddick at flex- Pj (@SuperJParty) November 20, 2016Has to be Theo Riddick, as hes had at least 15 touches in his past six games, while Amendola is merely a complementary target on the Pats. - J.M.@ESPNFantasy landry or Beasley? #StartSitESPN- Trey (@_itsTreys_World) November 20, 2016Its a valid dilemma, but Landry is essentially the higher-ceiling version of Beasley, as both are reception-dependent receivers. - J.M.#StartSitESPN Cousins or Winston at QB- George Taboada (@georgietbone) November 20, 2016Going with Cousins at home against a Green Bay defense that has allowed the second-most points per drive over the past three games. - J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Rasheed Jennings or Carlos Hyde- Jeff Nerderman (@jeffnerderman) November 20, 2016Carlos Hyde is in a nice spot as the goal-line and feature back for the 49ers, a team that heavily feeds their backfield with touches no matter the game flow situation (i.e. they run/feed the backs even when down). -- J.M.#StartSitESPN White or Britt at the flex? .5ppr- Noah Kim (@noahftw12) November 20, 2016Prefer Britt to White, as hes on pace for more than 1,200 yards and could be a heavy target of Jared Goffs in his debut, given their rapport in the preseason. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN ppr Bernard or Prosise in my flex- jerry straus (@jerrystraus15) November 20, 2016ESPNs Sheil Kapadia envisions C.J. Prosise leading the Seahawks backfield in touches, while his receiving skill set supports a high floor in PPR leagues. -- J.M.Dak or luck #StartSitESPN- jacob meckem (@jacobmeckem) November 20, 2016Siding with Luck, as hes in a higher-volume passing game. Prescott is still a strong option, of course, but Baltimore has allowed the fewest points per drive in the AFC, thus there is a matchup angle to help differentiate. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Rob Kelley or Lamar Miller?- leander cohen (@leanderco) November 20, 2016Miller is off the injury report, and the Raiders have proven generous to backs on a per-touch basis, thus hes the stronger fantasy option of the two. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy James Starks or Isaiah Crowell (Standard League) #StartSitESPN- Big Fella (@vance_refrig) November 20, 2016Crowell gets the nod with a nice series of touches and claim to any rewarding goal-line work. -- J.M.Zach Miller or Eric Ebron? PPR league. #StartSitESPN- Troy Humphries (@Troy_Humphries) November 20, 2016Prefer Ebron, who has enjoyed a nice rapport recently with Stafford, while he could prove busy across the middle. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN Flex: Z. Miller or T. Riddick??- A N G (@anaimgarcia) November 20, 2016Riddicks workload is strong enough to support a stable fantasy floor, earning him the nod over Miller. -- J.M.allen hurns or cameron meredith? #StartSitESPN- Alex Behling (@abehling27) November 20, 2016Meredith is the stronger option with Hurns target-per-route rate proving inefficient lately. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Davante Adams or Jarvis Landry? PPR- Tez (@Ki_klevirdad) November 20, 2016With Jay Ajayi running wild for Miami, passing volume has dipped for the Dolphins, with Landry losing value as a PPR asset. The Packers, meanwhile, are passing the ball nearly 50 times a game over the past month, supporting a nice market share for Adams. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN Wich 2 shld i start?? D.Hopkins,D.Baldwin, or S.Diggs- chad moyer (@moyer685) November 20, 2016I have Hopkins rated lowest of this trio, which is a result of facing David Amerson and dealing with Osweilers sluggish production. -- J.M.Robert Kelley or Latavius Murray? #StartSitESPN #FFNow @ESPNFantasy- Kev (@pepsmcfc) November 20, 2016With his recent uptick in production and goal-line success, Murray gets the nod over Kelley, who has a lower ceiling without any receiving work. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN jimmy graham or martellus Bennett- Manny Sal (@manny_sal11) November 20, 2016Just over 47 percent of Tom Bradys fantasy production has gone to his tight ends, while Bennett could net a strong share of targets with Rob Gronkowski sidelined. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Pick 2...Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, and Michael Crabtree- Jason Barnett (@BoxerJ1974) November 20, 2016Lets go with Michael Crabtree and his 23 percent share of Oaklands productive passing game and Davante Adams, who could be a target hog against Bashaud Breeland today with Josh Norman likely assigned to Jordy Nelson. Randall Cobb is a nice option, but based on his usage this season, he has the lowest ceiling. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Mariota or Big Ben?- Nikolai Hartleb (@nikolai_hartleb) November 20, 2016Siding with Marcus Mariota here, as the high winds and potential for the game script to trend run-heavy for the Steelers gives the nod to the Titans quarterback. While Mariota could also hand off a ton today, his touchdown pattern since Week 5 is truly elite, while his matchup signals a potential shootout. Its close -- Im not fading Roethlisberger, particularly -- just believe if we have a strong alternative it could make sense to avoid that windy climate (reports suggest winds of 30 mph in Cleveland). -- J.M.Crowell or Gurley? #StartSitESPN- Trevor Payton (@payton_trevor) November 20, 2016This is somehow a completely legit dilemma in 2016. That said, I prefer the potential for 20-plus touches and any goal-line work for Todd Gurley over the valuable slot receiver. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy #StartSitESPN Tyreek Hill, Tajae Sharpe- Hoon (@theycallmehoon) November 20, 2016Tajaé Sharpe just recently scored his first touchdown, but his general lack of big-play prowess limits the appeal for me. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill could again see a nice batch of targets with Jeremy Maclin out and bubble screens for the Chiefs against a fallible Tampa secondary. Hills 4.24 speed helps support a higher ceiling than Sharpe provides. -- J.M.Amari Cooper or Rishard Mathews at WR2? Allen Robinson is wr1 #StartSitESPN- Wito Acevedo (@WitoAcevedo232) November 20, 2016Word is Amari Cooper will start on Monday night despite dealing with an injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Matthews has been great in the touchdown department, but Coopers 25 percent share of Derek Carrs attempts is a valuable advantage over Matthews touchdown-dependent profile. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN Cole Beasley or Jordan Matthews?- Matt Lawrie (@foresublimelion) November 20, 2016Cole Beasley has at least 50 yards in all but one game this season, but his ceiling is truly limited and even compromised in this matchup against the Ravens, as Baltimore has ceded the second-fewest points per drive to opponents. Jordan Matthews faces a tough Seattle secondary, but the spot to challenge them is from the slot, where Matthews runs the majority of his routes. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy in a standard league need a TE kelce or miller? For a RB should I start gurley or j.white? #StartSitESPN- A guerra (@ag_650) November 20, 2016Lets go with Travis Kelce and his uptick in target share with Maclin out. Ill take Gurley with Whites workload in the passing phase likely compromised by the presence of Dion Lewis. -- J.M.Baldwin, J. Matthews, Marvin Jones? #StartSitESPN- Eduardo Fumo (@eduardo_fumo) November 20, 2016For me, its Doug Baldwin, as hes in a great spot, since Russell Wilson seems revived from the pocket and the Eagles have just one corner ranked in the top 102 among corners, topping out at 62nd at the position. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy Would you go with Thomas Rawles today in PPR or stay with James White? #StartSitESPN- Chris Dobins (@Cdobin06) November 20, 2016Thomas Rawls offers more upside, as White would need to score in the passing phase from outside a goal-to-go scenario most likely, since LeGarrette Blount dominates those scenarios. Rawls, at least, could earn valuable shares of goal-line work for the Seahawks in his return as the teams early-down bruiser. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy Rob Kelley or Eli Rogers in my flex this week? #StartSitESPN- Steven Diel (@stevenmdiel) November 20, 2016I dig Kelley, as hes due around 20 touches against a Green Bay defense that is missing inside backer Jake Ryan. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN Golden Tate or T Pryor at flex spot? 0.5 PPR @ESPNFantasy- Amy (@SweetHomeAmy) November 20, 2016With the reception reward, I actually prefer Golden Tates higher floor, as the Lions offense relies heavily on high-percentage, short-yardage work that fits Tate well. -- J.M.@ESPNFantasy Ware, Starks or Jennings in my flex? 0.5 PPR & 0.25 PPC. #StartSitESPN- Scott (@flatsix02) November 20, 2016Gotta be Spencer Ware, as this total-yardage maven faces a Tampa defense that has allowed 100 yards on the ground and 50 yards receiving per game this season. -- J.M.#StartSitESPN PPR, Vikings D or Giants D?- Graham Flashner (@GrahamasterFlas) November 20, 2016The Giants have forced seven turnovers and average 2.5 sacks over the past month, while Jay Cutler is last in QBR and is a great matchup for opposing defenses. -- J.M.

A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. MINNEAPOLIS -- Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros were given a welcomed do-over.The Minnesota Twins had their strong start washed away.The Astros-Twins game was postponed Wednesday night by rain that came in the top of the third inning and never quit, and Major League Baseball finally made the decision after a 2 1/2-hour delay.The game will be reset Thursday night as the second half of a doubleheader, following the regularly scheduled afternoon game. That means the 5-0 lead the Twins took off Keuchel, including Brian Doziers leadoff home run, has been erased.You get off to a good start against a good pitcher and youve got your best guy out there and youve just got to wipe it off the slate, Twins manager Paul Molitor said, with a hint of weariness in his voice. Unfortunate. Good for them.After the Twins tagged the 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner with four runs in the second, sending 10 batters to the plate as dark clouds rolled in and lightning flashed in the distance, the skies opened up and the fans hurried for cover.Twins starter Ervin Santana left the mound with a disappointed look with one out and a big lead in the third as the umpires waved the players off the field and the grounds crew hustled to retrieve the tarp. White umbrellas, designed to look like baseballs, were conveniently given away to the first 10,000 customers who entered.You never know how its going to end, but well take the restart, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.The Astros, who began the day four games behind in the crowded AL wild card race, have gone 41-27 since May 22. Thats the third-best record in the major leagues since then. Part of the problem during the slow start was Keuchel, who is a mere 7-11 with a 4.56 ERA this season.He was coming off a three-hit shutout of division-leading Texas in his last turn, another sign he was getting back in a groove.Felt good. Felt like it was an extension of the last start. Next thing I know, theres five runs on the board, Keuchel said. So thats disappointing.Dozier hit what would have been his 24th home run of the season. Then the Astros let Keuchel downn with errors by third baseman Alex Bregman and shortstop Carlos Correa, leading to two unearned runs.ddddddddddddIll take this mulligan and hopefully come back next start hot, Keuchel said.PITCHING DECISIONSAstros RHP Chris Devenski will move from the bullpen to start the makeup game. LHP Kevin Chapman will be recalled from Triple-A Fresno as the 26th player for the night.LHP Tommy Milone, who was recently moved into relief after making 11 starts earlier this season, will take the mound for the Twins. LHP Andrew Albers will be brought up from Triple-A Rochester as the 26th player.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: RHP Luke Gregerson, who started the season as the closer, threw an aggressive bullpen session without trouble for his strained left oblique muscle. Hes eligible Friday to come off the DL, but Hinch said the decision has not yet been made. The team could have Gregerson throw again before activating him.Twins: RHP Trevor May was placed on the DL before the game with a lower back strain, an aggravation of an injury that cost him 23 games earlier in the season. May, who has a 4.89 ERA in 42 1/3 innings and leads relievers with 59 strikeouts, will see a specialist Thursday for further evaluation.TRY AGAINTwins rookie RHP J.T. Chargois, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to fill in for May, has returned for redemption with his 67.50 ERA. In his major league debut June 11 against Boston, Chargois gave up five runs while recording only two outs.Chargois, who was picked for the All-Star Futures Game, had a 1.29 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 35 innings for Rochester.I wanted to pick up where I left off, he said. I wanted to prove that was a mistake.UP NEXTThe Astros will send RHP Doug Fister (10-7, 3.47 ERA) to the mound for the first game Thursday. He has allowed only one run over 12 innings in two August starts. Rookie RHP Jose Berrios (2-2, 8.31 ERA) will pitch the first game for the Twins, his third turn since being called up for his second stint in the majors. ' ' '
