"The Seahawks enter Week 11 with the second-most efficient passing offense in terms of EPA per play (0.25), and one of the ways it succeeds is by working out of heavier personnel groupings. That gets opponents to match with a base defense before Seattle passes the ball. But the sneaky truth is that the Seahawks pass so much because they're not actually a good running team at all (minus-0.06 EPA per play, 25th best). The Rams might simply dare them to run."
"First, analytics writer Seth Walder breaks down three stat trends that could be pivotal this weekend. Then fantasy writer Eric Moody runs through five players who are rostered in under 50% of ESPN leagues as of Saturday and could be started in a jam. That's followed by NFL analyst Ben Solak's three potential surprises, NFL analyst Matt Bowen's key matchup to watch and sports betting analyst Pamela Maldonado's favorite bet for Week 11."
Week 11 coverage highlights three analytic trends, fantasy waiver suggestions, potential surprises, a key matchup, and a favored betting pick. The Seahawks are the league's second-most efficient passing offense (0.25 EPA per play) but rank 25th in rushing (−0.06 EPA per play), often using heavier personnel to force base defensive matchups; the Rams could counter by daring Seattle to run. Fantasy guidance identifies five players rostered in under 50% of ESPN leagues with emergency-start upside. Analysts identify three possible surprises, spotlight a key matchup to watch, and address QB situations including Caleb Williams, Raiders on Monday Night, and Aaron Rodgers' status.
