What a week in the NFL! The great thing about NFL football is that from week to week any team can rise up and beat a so-called better team. This week the Dallas Cowboys rebounded to thump the New York Giants. Buffalo got their first win and Miami used three quarterbacks to defeat the Tennessee Titans.
The bye weeks are over, and your teams should be back to full strength depending on how many injuries you are dealing with.
Here's the buy, sell, or hold for week 11.
Buy:
Fred Jackson, RB Bills - Jackson has become a must start at running back. He has 133 yards rushing, and 37 receiving. He scored two touchdowns, but he did fumble twice, losing one of them. He took a shot to the knee late in the game, so owners may want to watch that.
Tyler Thigpen, QB Dolphins - He going to play and is worth putting on your roster. He didn't look rusty at all on Sunday.He went 4-6 for 64 with a TD. He also is a capable runner. He plays this Thursday night against the Bears. Keep him on your roster, but sit him this week.
Mike Goodson, RB Panthers - He was the lone bright spot on a terrible Panthers team He rushed for 100 yards, but still doesn't have a touchdown.
Troy Smith, QB 49ers - The more I see of Troy Smith, the more I like him. He ended up throwing for 356 yards and a TD.
Jermaine Gresham, TE Bengals - Tight ends are always a gamble, but Gresham put up 85 yards and a TD lat week and they play Buffalo this week. Should be a good play.
Sell:
Mike Thomas, WR Jaguars - Thomas' game on Sunday was a career game. If your league's trade deadline has not passed you may find an owner that needs a wideout and wants Thomas. My advice is to sell high.
Hines Ward, WR Steelers - It pains me to say this because I admire Hines Ward, but he no longer is the main wide receiver in Pittsburgh. Ward is a little injury prone and Mike Wallace is getting more throws than Ward. Trade him if you have someone interested.
Cadillac Williams, RB Buccaneers - His better days are behind him. Don't be fooled by the 62 yards he had, since he only had 5 carries. There are better options at running back than him.
Brett Favre, QB Vikings - You may still have Favre on your roster, but you don't need to play him. He is back to throwing interceptions and now his shoulder is tender.
Hold:
Felix Jones, RB Cowboys - Let's not get too excited yet over Felix and the Dallas Cowboys as a whole. It's one game and anything can still happen. Jones did look in good form running and catching the ball. Let's hold him for now.
