Week 11 Monday Night Football Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tennessee Titans

Hey there undeFFeated fans! Week 11 is on its way out but before it leaves us we thought we would talk about the Monday Night Football game in Nashville. In a lopsided AFC matchup, Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers come to town to face a struggling Titans team. We know points will be scored in this game but it is hard to tell which Steeler team we will see. Better yet, which Big Ben will we see? The one who threw for 12 TDs and 0 interceptions in two short weeks? Or the one who looked below average against the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, and New York Jets. History is telling us to bet on the latter but we feel certain that Roethlisberger will defy the odds and have another great fantasy outing.

Big Ben has posted 23 TDs and 5 interceptions on the year. He leads his division in total yards, TDs, and fewest interceptions. If you are a betting man (or woman) you should put your money on the Pittsburgh Steelers to notch win number 7. Also, if you are a random stats fan you will love this next one: according to the Elias Sports Bureau, with Roethlisberger and Mettenberger starting under center tonight, this will be the most letters in the last names of two opposing quarterbacks in NFL history. Now that is a lot of "bergers" man.

Week 11 Sunday Night Football Preview: New England Patriots @ Indianapolis Colts

Week 11 has been full of must-see match ups. The playoffs are still 7 weeks out but the race to the postseason is heating up. Tonight's game in Indianapolis has major playoff implications. Tom Brady's Patriots are coming in as the hottest team in the NFL. They have been rolling over teams during their current 5 game win streak. Brady has 22 TD's and just 3 interceptions so far showing no signs of slowing down. If there is a team to put a stop to this run it is the Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck has been feasting on defenses leading the NFL is nearly every offensive category. The 3rd year player has posted 26 TD's and 9 interceptions on the year. These two teams are all too familiar with meeting this time of the year. The Patriots come into this match up with a 7-2 record, while the Colts roll in at 6-3 respectively.

The New England Patriots have surprised fantasy owners with outburst from Rob Gronkowski, Julian Eldelman, and Brandon Lafell. We expect this game to be high scoring. Tom Brady seems to favor his star tight-end Rob Gronkowski. Here at undeFFeated we feel certain he will have a big night. Gronk has netted 8 TD's this year and he is going against a Colts team that typically struggles against Tight-Ends. He is a must-start for your fantasy lineup this week.

The Indianapolis Colts have dominated teams offensively thus far. Andrew Luck has thrown for over 300 yards in every game this season. His 26 TD's is second in the NFL and partially because of his last week's bye. Expect big things from the former Stanford Cardinal as we predict Luck to have another 300 yard multi TD game. Andrew Luck will once again show why he is the number one overall fantasy player.

Week 11 NFL Matchup's Preview: Philadelphia @ Green Bay; Detroit @ Arizona

Hey there undeFFeated fans, it is that time of the week again. Today we are going to take a look at two NFC match ups that will most definitely have playoff implications on them.

First we will look at America's Game of the week: Eagles @ Packers. We are just as excited as you all are about this one. Aaron Rodgers vs. Mark Sanchez? Not exactly your marquee QB matchup but the Eagles are coming off a Monday night blowout win at home over Cam Newton's Panthers. Speaking of blowouts, Rodgers and company delivered a massive won over the Bears last Sunday night. So what does this mean for this week?

Expect the Eagles offense to continue its pace as Jeremy Maclin will find the end zone for at least one score. J-Mac may be coming off of a season-low performance but not to worry fantasy owners. Maclin has found the end zone 8 times this year raking in 848 yards. That is why undeFFeated is picking him to be the game changing performance.

But wait, theres more! Our next matchup is featuring two of the hottest teams in the NFL: Lions @ Cardinals is sure to be a nail-biter. The Cardinals roll into this matchup 8-1 but lost their franchise QB Carson Palmer in a 31-14 win last week over the Rams. Will they be able to contain Matthew Stafford's Lions? That is a question we will have to wait on. For now, we are picking Calvin Johnson to have a Mega-game. Get it? We may not have the best puns here at undeFFeated but we do guarantee you accurate predictions! We feel strongly that Mega-tron will have 100 receiving yards in this NFC matchup. Plain and simple, that guy can play. That is why he is our second game changing performer for week 11.

The Top 10 must start Runnings Backs for your undeFFeated week 10 roster

Week 10 is upon us undeFFeated fans! Here is a list of the must start running backs for your fantasy team:

1. Demarco Murray, Cowboys vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
Coming in at number one for the second week in a row is none other than Demarco Murray. The    NFL's leading rusher is overseas in London as the Dallas Cowboys face off against the struggling   Jacksonville Jaguars. Dallas may be coming off a two-game losing streak but we expect them to bounce back in a big way in the UK.

2. Matt Forte, Bears @ Green Bay Packers
 The Chicago running back has found the end zone on 3 different occasions this season. Our experts believe he will find it again on this weeks highly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup against the division rival Green Bay Packers. Forte ran for 122 yards against the Packers defense back in late September. 

3. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks vs. Giants
Marshawn Lynch bounced back against the Oakland Raiders last week and we believe he will keep the same pace against a dwindling Giants defense. The 12th man should be loud and proud as we expect Beast-Mode and the Seahawks to roll at home. 

4. Jamaal Charles, Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills
Charles ran for 78 yards and a touchdown last week at home against the Jets. We have him at number 4 this week anticipating he will find the end zone at least once playing another New York based team. 

5. Lesean McCoy, Eagles vs. Carolina Panthers 
Shady ran for 117 yards on 23 carries last week in Houston but failed to find the end zone. Carolina has allowed opposing running backs to score in the last 4 or 5 games. We feel the odds will be in McCoy's favor as his Eagles host the Panthers on Monday Night Football.

6. Le'Veon Bell, Steelers @ New York Jets
Fantasy owners it is not time to panic yet on this Ohio native. Even though he has only found the end zone once this season, he is still averaging an impressive 4.7 yards/carry. Our experts believe Bell is certain to find the end zone in their road game matchup against the Jets.

7. Eddie Lacy, Packers vs. Chicago Bears
The former Alabama running back struggled in his last outing against the Saints but we believe he will bounce back accordingly in primetime at home. Lacy has recorded 428 yards and 4 touchdowns this season.

8. Ronnie Hillman, Broncos @ Oakland Raiders
Hillman has been a surprise for fantasy owners with his recent success. He picked up two scores in a losing effort last week in New England. We expect him to produce at least one score in this land slide week 10 matchup against the winless Raiders.
                                                                                     
                                                               9. Andre Ellington, Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams
George Thompson/AP Images
Ellington has yet to break 100 rushing yards this season but he has come close. The Cardinal's tailback is expected to break that streak this week in their favored home game against the Rams. Ellington has found the end zone twice this season.                                                        
                                                                             
10. Mark Ingram, Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers
Ingram is having himself quite a year. He has 6 touchdowns and is averaging nearly 5 yds/carry. He is facing a good 49ers defense but lets face it, the New Orleans Saints are flat out a different team when playing in NOLA. Expect a great fantasy output this week from the former Crimson Tide running back. 

Stay UndeFFeated in Fantasy Football for Week 10

Top 10 Fantasy Quarterbacks for week 10

1.    Peyton Manning @ Oakland    
2.     Aaron Rodgers vs. Bears
3.     Ben Roethlisberger @ Jets

Peyton Manning is going to go off with at least 3 touchdown passes in the first half and continue to dominate this win less Raider team till the end of the game. The last two times Peyton faced off against the Raiders he threw 7 touchdown passes and was 58 of 65. Start him this week to stay UndeFFeated!


Aaron Rodgers is must start against the Bears. Last time they met Rodgers completed 22 of 28 passes with 4 touchdowns. Start Rodgers this week if you want to score big!

Big Ben is on his way to becoming a great candidate for MVP. In the last two games he has score 12 touchdowns. This man is a fantasy machine and the only way to stay UndeFFeated is if you start him this week against the Jets.

            4.     Carson Palmer vs. Rams 
            5.     Matt Ryan @ Buccaneers
            6.     Matthew Stafford vs. Dolphins 

Carson Palmer and the Cardinals will have no trouble against the Rams. Palmer has great targets that he finds every game and the defense is helping him a lot too. Palmer will have at least 2 touchdowns against the Rams.

Matt Ryan and the Falcons have been on quite the losing streak, but when was their last win? Week 3 Thursday Night Football at home against the Bucs. Matt Ryan also played his best in this game completing 21 of his 24 passes and throwing 3 touchdown passes as well. The Falcons have scored more in the game against the Bucs than they did their past 3 games. Matt Ryan should put up above average fantasy points this week.

Matthew Stafford has an amazing receiving core and with Calvin Johnson expected to play this Sunday you will want to have Stafford starting for you. Expect Stafford to slug 2-3 touchdown passes in their game against the Dolphins.

            7.     Russell Wilson vs. Giants  
            8.     Ryan Tannehill @ Lions
            9.     Joe Flacco vs. Titans

             Russell Wilson is playing a team that continues to get dominated week by week and to make matters worst for the Giants, Wilson gets to take 'em to school at home.

Ryan Tannehill has been playing great and so has his defense. He would be a great back up to your starter that’s on a bye week this week.

I am expecting Joe Flacco to have the game he had against Tampa Bay a few weeks ago when he had 5 touchdown passes. This guy can put up numbers and will put up numbers this week against the Titans.

10.   Sleeper: Mark Sanchez vs. Panthers 

ButtFumble? I think the buttfumble is behind Mark Sanchez and this Eagles offense is so explosive that it can make any quarterback look great. Sanchez also took the Jets to the AFC championship two years in a row. Maybe he can help the Eagles get to the playoffs this year? Who knows? The only thing we know is that Sanchez will put up numbers this Monday night at home against the Panthers.
