If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 11: Wide receivers
Julio Jones might finally get it going this week for FanDuel fantasy owners.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 11:
Top tier
It's not often a receiver is projected more than three points higher than anyone else, so Julio Jones looks like he's worth the extra money against the Indianapolis Colts. He's at home and the Atlanta Falcons should be targeting him heavily. Dez Bryant and Amari Cooper are also solid options this week.
Bargains
The Chargers have some major issues at receiver, so Stevie Johnson at just $5,600 against the Kansas City Chiefs seems like a must-play option at $5,600. In that same game, Jeremy Maclin against the Chargers. With Sam Bradford out, perhaps Jordan Matthews can get a good game in this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Elite players with subpar matchups
DeAndre Hopkins is one of the more consistent, high-scoring receivers in the league. However, he gets Darrelle Revis and the New York Jets this week. A.J. Green is also likely going to be hungry, but he'll face Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals. If you live on Narrative Street, maybe Green is an interesting play. The numbers say no, though.
