Every Week on Midweek Madness I do a segment Called “Force or Farce”. This segment covers players from the QB, WR, RB AND TE positions. By the way, this isn’t a Start/Sit article. It’s more of a precautionary play article.

A “FORCE” player consists of a player that is currently ranked outside of the Top 14 players through the current NFL week that I believe has a chance to finish as a Top 14 player this week.

A “FARCE” player is a player that is currently ranked inside of the Top 14 players through the current NFL week but could potentially have a bad week and not live up to said top 14 ranking this week.

This week I had none other than Gina Noble on the show. She is top 10 ranked in the Scott Fish Bowl as of the drop of this article. Check out the Show on our YouTube channel for all the good in depth info we dropped.

Bye Week Teams: Falcons, Colts, Patriots, Saints

FORCE

QB – Kyler Murray (QB42) @ Houston Texans
Heeeee’s Baaaack! After 335 days of absence, Kyler is back and he is in full affect! He looks exactly what we were all hoping he would and he definitely proved me wrong. I wasn’t ready to start him, but with the healthy James James Conner and the emergence of Trey McBride, Kyler showed out his first game back. He finished as QB16 in Week 10. Legit amazing comeback.

This week he gets the Texans in Houston who are allowing 18 Fantasy Points per game on average to QBs. Also ranked 8th in yards per attempt allowed to opposing QBs with 7.5. Kyler showed us how healthy that right knee is by scrambling for a touchdown last wee. He should be ready to do the same this week. 

This is my Bonanza Game of the week!

Gina’s Week 11 Force QB – Jared Goff/Justin Fields

WEEK 10 FORCE Prediction
Will Levis (QB36) WRONG. This OLine needs help. But talent is there for Levis.

RB –  Devin Singletary (RB44) Vs Arizona Cardinals
A lot of people were off of Devin Singletary and I’m not sure why. This offense has been rollin as of late and the opportunity was given to him with Dameon Pierce being sidelined. He also faced Cincinnati who has allows 92 yards on the ground. Matchup and opportunity allowed Devin to go for 150 yards and a Tuddy.

This week he gets Arizona, who is giving up the 3rd most fantasy points (20.3) on average to opposing RBs. If Dameon can’t go again, Singletary could be stepping into another starting role in another stellar matchup.

If you need a flex or a fill in RB for players on bye like Bijan, Taylor, Stevenson or Kamara, don’t be afraid to get Singletary into your lineup.

Sleeper RB Pick: Ty Chandler (RB71) @ Denver Broncos

Gina’s Week 11 Force RB – Jerome Ford/Kareem Hunt

WEEK 10 FORCE Prediction
Aaron Jones (RB31 Finish) WRONG.
[Honorable Mentions]
Javonte Williams(RB5 Finish) CORRECT.
Jonathon Taylor (RB17 Finish) RB2 territory 

WR – Noah Brown (WR57) Vs Arizona Cardinals
Downtown Noah Brown wasn’t healthy most of the year. In fact he missed 4 games plus the bye week which is half the season. Since after the bye week he has actually been very productive. Week 9 he had his best week finishing as WR3 and this was with every receiver on the team being healthy. I believe Noah Brown has been this hidden gem on an explosive Texans offense.

He didn’t practice today due some knee soreness but most likely will be ready to go for Sundays game. Nico Collins did get in Limited practice on Wednesday. Im hoping everyone is healthy so this can be the BONANZA game I’m really hoping for.

Snap Share Since Bye Week
Week 8 – 72% (WR55) Vs Ravens
Week 9 – 72% (WR3) @ Browns
Week 10 – 75% (WR6) Vs Falcons

TARGETS
Week 8 – 5
Week 9 – 6
Week 10 – 8

Sleeper WR Pick: Rashee Rice (WR44) Vs Philadelphia Eagles

Gina’s Week 11 Force WR – Jayden Reed/Rashee Rice/Brandin Cooks

WEEK 10 FORCE Prediction
Diontae Johnson (WR81 Finish) WRONG.Kenny Pickett is a legit problem for these receivers and potentially droppable…

TE – Trey McBride (TE16) @ Houston Texans
McBride has been doing very very well as a sophomore Tight End stepping into that starting role after Ertz went down. With what we saw last week, Kyler is looking to FEED McBride. He had 8 catches on 9 targets, which he turned into 131 yards. Seeing as he gets another solid matchup against the Texans, who are allowing the 8th most points to TEs, there is no way to not put him up here. In all honesty, I think he’s now become a must start TE going forward rest of season

TE Finishes in games with 55%+ Snap
Week 6 – 58% (TE12) @ Rams
Week 8 – 82% (TE1) Vs Ravens
Week 9 – 69% (TE27) @ Browns 
Week 10 – 77% (TE2) Vs Falcons
(Top 5 Upside in Week 11)

Sleeper TE Pick: Luke Musgrave (TE22) Vs LA Chargers

Gina’s Week 11 Force TE – Trey McBride/Luke Musgrave

WEEK 10 FORCE Prediction
Dalton Kinciad (TE4 Finish) RIGHT.
Sleeper TE Pick: Trey McBride (TE2 Finish) RIGHT.

FARCE

QB – Russell Wilson (QB12) @Vs Minnesota Vikings
So we all seen what Russ did with how many turnovers the Bills had last week. And this does look like a juicy matchup for Russ. But I absolutely believe the reason he did so well last week was do to these turnovers, which lead to opportunity. Opportunity leads to Fantasy Points. Russ was able to finish the week as the QB11 with less than 200 passing yards and only 223 all purpose yards. I don’t see these opportunities coming against Minnesota. 

Josh Dobbs has been electric on the ground and hasn’t given up any turnovers. The Vikings have also done a good job of controlling the clock. I believe this defense can slow down Russell and they will need to do more on the ground with Javonte Williams.

Russ could easily prove my wrong this week but Minnesota has really rallied together since Dobbs took over. Look for Russ to outside the top 14 this week.

QBs vs Vikings Last 4 Weeks
Week 6 – Justin Fields (QB29) Tyson Bagent (QB25)
Week 7 – Brock Purdy (QB16)
Week 8 – Jordan Love (QB18)
Week 9 – Taylor Heinicke (QB13)
Week 10 – Derek Carr (QB40) James Winston (QB19)

Gina’s Week 11 Farce QB – Trevor Lawrence/Josh Allen

WEEK 10 FARCE Prediction
Jordan Love (QB11 Finish) WRONG. 3 top 10 QBs finished outside of the top  14 this week.  Lamar Jackson & Trevor Lawerence. Propelling Jordan into the top 14.

RB – Rachaad White (RB10) @ San Francisco 49ers
Yuck.. this matchup really has the potential to disrupt what Rachaad has been doing as of late. Since Week 7 he’s finished as the RB12, 10, 1 and 11. This week he gets a STOUT 49ers defense who are tied as the 4th strongest defense against RBs, allowing only 11.1 Fantasy Points on average. This team just shut down the #3 running back Travis Etienne last week whom was coming of a bye week and well rested. Etienne finished as RB38 last week.

It’s really hard calling him a FARCE this week. If they can give him opportunities through the air he has the potential to prove me wrong this. I still think he finishes inside the top 20.

Gina’s Week 11 Farce RB – Derrick Henry

WEEK 10 FARCE Prediction
Kenneth Walker III (RB10) WRONG. One 64 yard catch and run turned into a td on two pass attempts. Without this, Walker finished the day with 6.3 fantasy points. 

WR – Adam Thielen (WR9) Vs Dallas Cowboys
Adam gets a very tough matchup this week. Dem Boys have been devastating mediocre offenses with their defense. This team is ranked 4th against opposing WRs. They also have been doing a good job at shutting down mediocre QBs. For how bad Bryce young has been looking the past 3 weeks, Thielen has become a WR2/3 or flex at best. Take caution when starting Adam this week.

WR Finishes Since the Bye
Week 8 –  (WR24) Vs Texans
Week 9 – (WR42) Vs Colts
Week 10 – (WR35) @ Bears

Gina’s Week 11 Farce WR – Amari Cooper

WEEK 10 FARCE Prediction
DJ Moore (WR33) CORRECT.

TE – Logan Thomas (TE14) Vs New York Giants
It’s been tough looking for TEs inside the top 14 and finding a valid point to say, hey this guy could potentially fall outside that threshold, especially with byes. I did pretty well with saying Engram last week. Let’s see if we can attempt this again.

So the Giants have been somewhat decent against TEs this year. Despite how terrible that team looks like as a whole, they’ve been the 10th strongest defense against TEs, allowing only 4.8 Fantasy Points per game. 
With that being said, we know how much Howell has been Slinging the ball this year, but it seems everyone is healthy in this receiving core. The fact that there are so many bodies on the field for Howell to throw to, I don’t see Logan finishing any higher than 14.

Gina’s Week 11 Force TE – Evan Engram

WEEK 10 FARCE Prediction
Evan Engram (TE22 Finish) CORRECT.
