START ‘EM FOR WEEK 11

Kareem Hunt, RB, Cleveland Browns

Kareem Hunt returned to action after serving a suspension in the first half of the season, and he was an immediate focus in the offense. Hunt only saw four carries, but he turned that into 30 yards. Most of his damage came through the air, which is where his role will probably stay with he Browns.

Hunt received a massive nine targets. He only turned that into 44 yards, but scored 14 points in his Browns debut. We have seen Hunt be an explosive player through the air before, and he has big play potential. Continue feeling safe rolling him out in your lineups despite splitting reps with Nick Chubb.

James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

James Conner is a must start when healthy. It appears he is ready to play Thursday after being a full participant in practice all week. Conner is the perfect target machine for Mason Rudolph, who loves the short passing game, Look for Conner to re-establish himself as a top running back in fantasy this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST

The Steelers defense has been on fire lately. They have scored double digit fantasy points in seven straight games, with three of those games being over 20 points. The Browns have a knack for allowing Baker Mayfield to get sacked, and they also are a turnover machine this season. That should provide a safe floor, high ceiling for this revitalized unit led by DPOY candidate Minkah Fitzpatrick.
