Best Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 11: Andre Ellington, Ben Tate, Dennis Johnson, Kenny Stills Top Pick Ups

Nov 11, 2013 09:49 AM EST

The fantasy football week us is to a close and as the playoffs get closer after Week 11 fantasy owners will be looking for the best value additions and some names include Zac Stacy, Andre Ellington, Dennis Johnson, Ben Tate, Kenny Stills, Keenan Allen and Tavon Austin.

Zac Stacy has been one of the best surprise pickups in all of fantasy for the way he has played coming in for Daryl Richardson and he had another nice day on Sunday. Stacy has rushed for over 100 yards multiple times since snagging the starting job and now he has another solid performance behind him, as he rushed for 62 yards and scored a touchdown and also had two catches for six yards on the day. Stacy has been getting the ball plenty since taking over the starting job and now he has 20 or more touches in five straight games and he has been over 25 carries in the last three, scoring three times in the span and that makes him a very solid fantasy football option.

Stacy has been one of the most productive backs in football over the past three weeks with over 100 yards twice and while the Rams have a bye next week, Stacy is a great option to pick up. He had 127 yards along with six catches for 51 yards against the Titans and then before that he had another solid game with over 130 yards against the Seahawks and with the Bears coming up after the bye, which should be another nice matchup. Stacy now has over 500 yards this season and the bulk of that has come over the past five weeks.

Andre Ellington is looking like a solid starting option moving towards the rest of the season, as he has basically taken over as the primary back ahead of Rashard Mendenhall and the past two weeks he has had double digit carries, including on Sunday when he had 11 for 55 yards along with two catches for 18 yards and he should be a productive back the rest of the season. Ellington has been very solid as a rookie and he was coming off of a 150 yard game the previous week and now he has the chance to take over with the bulk of the carries going forward.

Ben Tate and Dennis Johnson are interesting pickups with Arian Foster out for the season and while Johnson did not have a great day on Sunday, Tate has been dealing with a rib injury and that could push Johnson up if he is hurt again. Tate had a solid game with 56 yards on the ground and he also added three catches, while Johnson had four carries for seven yards along with one catch for 14 yards. Tate is a solid option coming in for Foster and he has had 50 yards or more in each of the past three weeks and as long as his ribs don't get worse, he will be a solid option for the team going forward.

Kenny Stills and Keenan Allen have been a solid PPR options in deeper leagues this season and while he did not score on Sunday and did not have a big game, he should continue putting up production after making four catches for 41 yards on Sunday. He had three touchdowns in his previous four games before coming in and next week the team will play against the embarrassing Dolphins.
