We are back with our Week 11 edition of DAWGS Of The Week. This series highlights the players who surpassed their projections the most for the current week. We use Sleepers’ PPR Format for the point system and forecasts. Let’s look back at the players that swung their team to victory this week.

QB DAWG Of The Week: Jacoby Brissett 24.86 FP

324 Passing Yards, 3 Passing TDs, 7 Carries, 29 Rushing Yards 1 Fumble, 1 Fumble Lost (Projected: 12.53 FP)

Jacoby Brissett played his best game of the season in the Browns’ loss to the Buffalo Bills. Brissett threw for 324 yards and three TDs, two to Amari Cooper. The current Browns QB will have one more start before he surrenders the job to Deshaun Watson in Week 13. Maybe Jacoby Brissett will have one last great performance with Cleveland as they face Tampa Bay next week.

RB DAWG Of The Week: Samaje Perine 30.20 FP

11 Carries, 30 Rushing Yards, 4 Receptions, 52 Receiving Yards, 3 Receiving TDs (Projected: 5.05 FP)

The Bengals picked up their first divisional win of the season when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers. They can thank Samaje Perine for his outstanding performance. With Joe Mixon leaving the game with a concussion, Samaje caught four passes for 52 yards and three TDs. This win keeps the Bengals just a game away from the Ravens for the AFC North. Perine may be worth a pick-up if Joe Mixon will miss the Week 12 game against the Titans.

WR DAWG Of The Week: Josh Palmer 30.60 FP

8 Receptions, 106 Receiving Yards, 2 Receiving TDs (Projected: 8.21 FP)

The biggest shocker for WRs is the performance of Josh Palmer against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer started the game hot with a 50-yard TD reception. He also scored a six-yard TD late in the fourth to give them a 27-23 lead. With Mike Williams possibly reaggravating his ankle injury, Joshua Palmer may be the add for the upcoming waivers for Week 12.

TE DAWG Of The Week: Travis Kelce 35.50 FP

6 Receptions, 115 Receiving Yards. 3 Receiving TDs (Projected: 19.33 FP)

Travis Kelce dominated the Los Angeles Chargers again in the Chiefs’ 30-27 win. The Chiefs TE was unstoppable as he had six receptions for 115 yards and three TDs. With many offensive weapons on the Chiefs’ offense getting hurt, Kelce had to step up. He is by far the best TE in fantasy football.

DEF/ST DAWG Of The Week: Dallas Cowboys 18 FP

1-6 Points Allowed, 7 Sacks, 1 Forced Fumble, 1 Fumble Recovery, 1 Special Teams Forced Fumble (Projected: 6.60 FP)

The Dallas Cowboys put out the biggest shocker of the week, defeating Minnesota 40-3 on the road. The defense made a statement against a Vikings team that many have as possible Superbowl contenders after their win over the Bills last week. Kirk Cousins looked miserable as he led the Vikings to just three points while being sacked seven times. Micah Parsons and Dorance Armstrong Jr. each had two sacks and three other players recorded one each. The Cowboys have a big divisional matchup next week against the New York Giants which will have giant playoff implications.

Thanks for reading! You can look forward to this series until the end of the season. You can check out last week’s installment of DAWGS Of Week 10.

We are back with our Week 11 edition of FRAUDS Of The Week. This series highlights the players who failed their projections the most for the current week. We use Sleepers’ PPR Format for the point system and forecasts. Let’s look back at the players that swung their team to victory this week.

QB DAWG Of The Week: Kirk Cousins 2.20 FP

105 Passing Yards 1 Fumble Lost (Projected: 17.61 FP)

Kirk Cousins disappeared in the Vikings’ blowout loss to the Cowboys. He threw 12 of 23 passes for 105 yards. The Vikings QB had no answers, especially with the Dallas pash-rush going at him with seven sacks. The road doesn’t get easier for Kirk as he faces the Patriots in Week 12 on Thanksgiving.

RB DAWG Of The Week: Saquon Barkley 5.50 FP

15 Carries, 22 Rushing Yards, 2 Receptions, 13 Receiving Yards (Projected: 21.35 FP)

The Detroit Lions had a game plan focused on stopping Saquon Barkley and the run. Barkley only gathered 22 rushing yards on 15 carries. This forced the Giants to pass with inadequate receivers. Saquon is the #6 ranked RB in fantasy so look forward to him having a bounce-back game against the Cowboys next week.

WR DAWG Of The Week: Justin Jefferson 6.30 FP

3 Receptions, 33 Receiving Yards (Projected: 21.98 FP)

Justin Jefferson suffered with Kirk Cousins as his QB in the loss to Dallas. Even with a turf toe, Jefferson still played and got three catches for 33 yards. He will face a tough secondary of New England but he is expected to be back to normal for that game.

TE DAWG Of The Week: David Njoku 3.70 FP

2 Receptions, 17 Receiving Yards (Projected: 9.23 FP)

David Njoku came back to the field after suffering an ankle injury in the previous games. He caught just two balls for 17 yards in the Browns’ loss to the Bills. He did take fewer snaps than normal but the Browns’ staff was probably just being cautious with him. Look for an increased workload when they face Tampa Bay in Week 12.

DEF/ST DAWG Of The Week: Minnesota Vikings -4 FP

35+ Points Allowed (Projected: 6.45 FP)

The Minnesota Vikings didn’t show up against the Dallas Cowboys. The defense looked bad whether it was a pass play or a run play. Tony Pollard dominated with 189 total yards and two TDs. The Vikings’ defense didn’t pick up a single forced fumble, interception, or sack. With the playoff slowly approaching, Minnesota’s defense needs to step up in order to be a Superbowl contender.
