The New England Patriots travel to what should be a very high-scoring game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. They're the two highest scoring teams in the league and both have been very proficient in putting the ball in the end zone.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Shane Vereen
Shane Vereen hasn’t busted out often since the Stevan Ridley injury, could that happen for his fantasy owners this week?

The Patriots have scored a whopping 40.2 points per game in their last five games. Obviously, they haven't missed running back Stevan Ridley despite Shane Vereen not really lighting it up on the stat sheet. He hasn't run for more than 44 yards in any of the last four weeks and has seen his yards-per-carry average take a major hit. However, he's racked up 13 receptions and three scores in his last three weeks, so the production is there overall.
The matchup is a good one for Vereen with the Colts ranking as just the 21-toughest defense to PPR fantasy backs. They will need him to get going as the Colts likely try to stop the Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski connection.
Fantasy impact: You’re obviously starting him in PPR as a top-eight options, but he’s also a top-15 play in standard leagues in this shootout.
