Summary
On this episode of The Athletic Football Show, Michael Beller and Derek VanRiper break down the Week 11 DFS slate. They discuss Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook reaching CMC territory, the Jameis Winston free space, Keenan Allen as the WR1, the lack of meaningful tight ends, and more.
Later, Beller and Vic Tafur run through the slate from a gambling standpoing, highlighting their favorite picks against the spread (begins at 29:42). Can the Titans bounce back in a tough spot against the Ravens? Can the Jaguars keep things respectable against the undefeated Steelers? Can Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins keep things rolling against the Broncos? The guys answer those questions, and a whole lot more.
