Fantasy football projections, Week 11: Bills-Bengals featuring LeSean McCoy, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, more

The Week 11 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals features two teams looking to rebound from heartbreaking losses. We’ve got the fantasy projections courtesy of numberFire.

LeSean McCoy faced a tough task prior to the team’s Week 10 bye. Despite the fact that his team lost to the Seattle Seahawks, McCoy put together an impressive showing for fantasy owners, totaling 120 yards on 25 touches. He did a great job creating something out of nothing on numerous occasions when the Seahawks had him trapped behind the line of scrimmage. It appears he is over his injury woes for now, so fantasy owners can expect him to play well in Cincinnati. The Bengals allow just over 116 yards per contest to opposing running games. Shady should be all over his projections this week.

The same can’t necessarily be said for anybody else on Buffalo’s offensive unit. Wide receiver Robert Woods may, however, provide some value in PPR formats. He’s played really well lately. He had arguably the best fantasy game of his career against the Seahawks when the Bills attempted to play catch-up late in the game. He finished the contest with 10 catches for a career-high 162 yards. Though Woods didn’t find the end zone, it looks more and more like Sammy Watkins won’t necessarily be returning this year, so Woods may reach his projections in Cincinnati.

The Bengals suffered a heartbreaking one-point loss to the New York Giants in Week 10. Quarterback Andy Dalton was unfortunately at the mercy of the Giants’ secondary for most of the night. He finished with just 204 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, representing his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. The Buffalo Bills have been fairly good at limiting fantasy quarterbacks this year, so Dalton could be in for another subpar week. It’s unfortunate he’s facing such stiff competition as the fantasy playoffs loom closer. It’s hard to count on Dalton reaching his projections in Week 11.

The same can’t be said for wide receiver A.J. Green. Fortunately for fantasy owners, he had a much better day than did Mr. Dalton. Green caught seven out of 11 targets for 68 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Giants. It was obvious New York’s secondary unit did a great job of limiting him, but at least Green was still able to find the end zone. He’s now just 36 yards shy of achieving 1,000 receiving yards yet again. Green now has at least seven catches in three straight games. With the volume he is getting, he should have no trouble surpassing his projections against the Bills.
