Fantasy football projections, Week 11: Bengals-Saints featuring A.J. Green, Drew Brees and Mark Ingram
We break down the Week 11 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints.


Cincinnati Bengals
After looking atrocious in the Thursday night game against Cleveland last week, quarterback Andy Dalton needs a big bounce-back performance against the Saints if the team is to get back on the winning track. To do that, Dalton will undoubtedly require the services of wide receiver A.J. Green, who was held in check by the Browns' secondary. Green is one of the most explosive receivers in the game, and although he's been hampered by a toe injury for most of the year, he should be in line to see the ball a lot.
As far as the running game goes, it doesn't appear likely that Giovani Bernard (hip) is going to play this week. That means rookie Jeremy Hill will get another shot at starting in the backfield for Cincinnati. Hill rushed just 12 times last week for 55 yards. Although that probably didn't impress fantasy owners, it should actually be viewed as a positive performance, especially given the way the rest of the team played against the Browns. Hill has a lot of talent and should put it on full display in Week 11.
New Orleans Saints
After taking the loss at home at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers last week, the Saints are going to have their work cut out for them for the rest of the season. However, their offense is still one of the most potent in the game and will be led by none other than quarterback Drew Brees. Brees did well in a close finish against the 49ers and threw for 292 yards and a trio of scores. However, his performance marked the second straight week that he was held under 300 passing yards while throwing two interceptions. He will be up against a Bengals' secondary unit that is pretty solid, but let's face it, he's Drew Brees. He'll find a way to get his points, and fantasy owners shouldn't be surprised to see him climb over the 300-yard passing mark once again.
When Brees does go to the ground game, it means the ball will undeniably end up in the hands of running back Mark Ingram. Ingram has averaged 133 rushing yards over the last three weeks, and although he's been marked as questionable lately because of a shoulder injury, there's hardly any doubt that he'll be in the lineup and in line for his regular workload. Fantasy owners are to keep him in play.
