Fantasy football advice, Week 11: Who to start/sit for Seahawks vs. Chiefs

Two 6-3 teams stuck in second place in their West divisions face off Sunday when the NFC West Seattle Seahawks and the AFC West Kansas City Chiefs meet. Both teams are obviously gunning for a division crown, but would settle for a wild-card berth, meaning both teams come into Sunday really needing a win.

Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch appeared on the team's injury report for the week, though he's not considered at risk for missing Sunday. Meanwhile, with Zach Miller on injured reserve, the Seahawks are running low on tight ends, and both Cooper Helfet and Luke Willson appeared on the week's injury report, though odds are with them both playing. As for the Chiefs, their own stud running back was on the injury report, but also appears likely to play. Tight end Travis Kelce, also, looks good to go Sunday, as does wide receiver Donnie Avery, who hasn't played since Week 4. Meanwhile, tight end Anthony Fasano very well could miss Sunday with a knee injury.

Start 'em: If you have Russell Wilson, you've been frustrated by his performance of late, but in general, he's still got to be in fantasy lineups, if at the back end of the starting quarterbacks. ... Marshawn Lynch is averaging almost 18 fantasy points a game. That's something else. ... Steven Hauschka has been a great kicker since Week 2. ... The Seahawks' defense has gotten back to the good side in recent weeks.

Sit 'em: After looking like a reasonable fantasy play a few weeks ago, Doug Baldwin's numbers just keep dropping. He's well outside starting territory. ... Cooper Helfet appears to have surpassed Luke Willson in the team's pecking order, but you aren't using either one.

Start 'em: Since coming back from injury, Jamaal Charles has averaging 17.7 fantasy points a game. He's right back at the top of the rankings. ... With Anthony Fasano likely sidelined, Travis Kelce should be on the field more often this week than he has been of late, and Seattle struggles against tight ends. He's a strong start.

Start 'em?: If you're digging deep, Dwayne Bowe is a defensible fantasy play, but just barely. He still doesn't have a touchdown. ... Cairo Santos isn't spectacular, but he's been a reasonably consistent kicker. ... The Chiefs' defense has improved of late, and hosting the Seahawks is much better than playing them in Seattle.

Sit 'em: Not even 15 points a game for Alex Smith. That's not good. ... Donnie Avery appears likely to get back on the field Sunday, but the No. 4 (at best) option in a middling offense against Seattle? Stay away.
