Indianapolis Colts

TY Hilton/Donte Moncrief (Wide Receivers): With Andrew Luck sidelined for this week 11 matchup Hilton and Moncrief will be trying to build chemistry with backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. During his only two starts of the season during week 4 and 5, Hasselbeck targeted TY Hilton 22 times and Moncrief only 12. This had varying results mostly resulting in Hilton posting some pretty average numbers and Moncrief falling out of the picture entirely in week 5. Expect the Colts to lean heavy on Frank Gore to get them down the field. Hilton is a WR3 with WR2 upside and Moncrief is a low level flex option.

Frank Gore (Running Back): Gore's carries increased heavily when Andrew Luck goes down with an injury. Gore got 39 carries in the two games Luck missed earlier this season and found his rhythm in week 5 posting 98 yards and a touchdown. Gore is likely to be the player in this offense with the most fantasy points by the end of the day.

Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): Jones is coming off of a solid 17 target outing that had him post an enormous stat line in a loss to the 49ers. Jones did not see a touchdown but managed to gain 137 yards on 10 receptions. Jones should have his work cut out for him against Vontae Davis who has shut down a few star receivers this year. I wouldn't be surprised if a big reason the Falcons win this game is because of Jones's ability to get open deep.

Devonta Freeman (Running Back): Freeman got stuffed against the 49ers saving his fantasy day by catching targets through the air. Freeman will face a worse defensive unit so returning to the running attack against the Colts makes sense. Freeman should get back on track on the ground and put up some solid numbers against a porous defense.
