Standard Scoring Leagues

Week 11 Wide Receivers

From this graph be sure to notice:

  • Alshon Jeffery, Golden Tate, Pierre Garcon, Eddie Royal and Wes Welker are the five players with the largest upside (as measured from their pseudo-medians). For these players, some projections are placing much higher valuations than others. If you are projected to lose this week by quite a few points and are looking for a risky play that may tip the balance in your favor, these are players to consider.
  • Pierre Garcon, Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston, Doug Baldwin and Rueben Randle are the players with the smallest downside, which suggests that while their median projection might not be great, there is less uncertainty concerning how poorly they may perform. So, if you are projected to win by a lot and want to reduce your downside risk, these players may deserve extra attention.
  • On the other hand, Emmanuel Sanders, T.Y. Hilton, Alshon Jeffery, Golden Tate and Brandon Marshall are the five players with the largest downside this week. If you are planning on starting them, it may be prudent to investigate why some projections have such low expectations for these players.
