Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree has been held out of the end zone in each of the last two games. He caught three passes for 40 yards in a win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 11: What to do with Michael Crabtree
One Oakland Raiders receiver could have a field day against the Patriots this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Coming off of a bye week, Crabtree should be well rested and taking on one of the most generous secondary units in all of football this week. That would be the New England Patriots.
Fantasy impact: Given Crabtree has an average of just 60 yards receiving in the last two games combined, don’t be surprised if he goes off against New England. Both teams have prolific offenses and the game is in Oakland, which helps the Raiders.
Many may argue that Amari Cooper is the team’s number one receiver but at the same time, Crabtree has been targeted at least seven times in four of the last five games.
He will continue to see his share of looks no doubt. The match up against the Patriots could be the higher scoring game of the week. That means lots of points for Crabtree and his fantasy owners.
Recommendation: Start
