Week 11 is in the books and for some teams, the promise of Thanksgiving turkey is desperately needed to wash the bitter taste of defeat from their mouths. The playoffs loom large and while no team has yet to clench a playoff berth, the playoff picture is starting to come in to focus. Let's take a look at Week 11 and see how everyone made out.
Team Pup-N-Suds extended their win streak to three games with an easy win over Dinkel 3.16, cruising to a 60.86 point victory. Dinkel 3.16 leapt out to a 53.12-point lead on Thursday behind 53.12 points from Ryan Tannehill (32.02 points) and Christian Watson (21.1 points). But it was all Team Pup-N-Suds after that. They were led by Joe Burrow (41.7 points) and Patrick Mahomes (39.46 points). Team Pup-N-Suds (9-2) will look to sustain their winning ways against All 2 Whales, while Dinkel 3.16 (7-4) will face off against Houston Dinkel in an effort to right the ship.
Fowler's Heathens cruised to a 55.48 point victory to hand All 2 Whales their third straight loss. Fowler's Heathens earned a 10.70-point lead on Thursday behind Allen Lazard and never gave it up. Derek Carr (30.28 points) and Josh Jacobs (25) led the way for All 2 Whales in defeat. Fowler's Heathens (7-4) will look to keep it rolling against Captain Morgan, while All 2 Whales (3-8) try to right the ship against Team Pup-N-Suds.
Fueled By Ayahuasca brought their A game, cruising to a 151.3 point victory over Ginger Lightning, who fell short of projections. Fueled By Ayahuasca nabbed an early 14.00-point lead on Thursday. Ginger Lightning came back to take the lead during the early games on Sunday, powered by Cordarrelle Patterson (11.9 points) and Curtis Samuel (9.8). Unphased, Fueled By Ayahuasca rallied later that afternoon, as Tony Pollard (45.9 points) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (16) put them back on top for good. Fueled By Ayahuasca (7-4) will look to keep it rolling against The Dictatorship, while Ginger Lightning (6-5) will face Leknid Lunatics in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
STL House Centipedes extended their win streak to four games with a convincing win over Car Ramrod, cruising to a 26.08 point victory. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in this matchup, as STL House Centipedes leapt out to a 50.98-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout efforts from Amari Cooper (36.3 points) and Justin Fields (25.62). Davante Adams (38.1 points) and Daniel Jones (33.64) did their part for Car Ramrod in the loss. STL House Centipedes (7-4) will look to maintain their winning ways against SMILF, while Car Ramrod (5-6) will try to right the ship against Autodraft Bitches.
Well, that was thrilling! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring four lead changes, Houston Dinkel came back to earn a 16.06 point victory to hand SMILF their third straight loss. Despite trailing 102.40-101.04 heading into Monday night, Houston Dinkel came storming back behind Jimmy Garoppolo (33.42 points). Chris Olave (30.2 points) and Jalen Hurts (26.2 points) carried the flag for SMILF in the loss. Houston Dinkel (7-4) will look to maintain their momentum against Dinkel 3.16, while SMILF (5-6) will attempt to get back on track against STL House Centipedes.
With the 12th-ranked point total in the league for the week, The Dictatorship were fortunate to earn a victory against an opponent that performed even worse, squeaking by for a 2.04 point victory over Captain Morgan. Captain Morgan made a run at it on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. The Dictatorship led 91.58-89.54 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite points from on Monday night for Captain Morgan. The Dictatorship were led by David Montgomery (21.1 points) and DeVonta Smith (13.8 points). The Dictatorship (6-5) will look to maintain their momentum against Fueled By Ayahuasca, while Captain Morgan (2-9) face off against Fowler's Heathens in an effort to get back in the win column.
Autodraft Bitches had the premier scorer in the matchup with WR Joshua Palmer accumulating 39.6 points, the fourth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Leknid Lunatics, who came back to earn a 0.36 point win. Despite trailing 110.16-72.72 heading into Monday night, Leknid Lunatics came storming back behind George Kittle (24.4 points) and James Conner (13.4 points). Joshua Palmer (39.6 points) and Jamaal Williams (24.4) led the way for Autodraft Bitches in the loss. Leknid Lunatics (4-7) will look to keep it rolling against Ginger Lightning, while Autodraft Bitches (2-9) will take on Car Ramrod in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Waiver Wire Adds
It's Thanksgiving week and there are no teams on bye this week. But you may still need some help. Take a look at some options.
QB - Joe Flacco
This might just be a speculative add but Joe Flacco was a serviceable quareterback for the Jets to start the season while Zach Wilson was injured. With Jets coach Robert Saleh looking to reevaluate the starting quarterback position, Joe Flacco could see some action as this Jets team looks to make a run towards the playoffs.
WR - Demarcus Robinson, Treylon Burks, Tutu Atwell
Demarcus Robinson was 9-9 in Week 11 for 128 yards in Week 11. With Rashod Bateman out for the season and teams doubling up on Mark Andrews, Robinson has carved out a role for himself even in a run heavy offense in Baltimore. Treylon Burks was 7-8 for 111 yards in Week 11 and looks to be a key contributor for the Titans moving forward. Tutu Atwell caught his only target but it was a big one for 62 yards and a touchdown and could help fill the void left by Cooper Kupp in the short term.
RB - Latavius Murray, Justin Jackson, James Cook
After multiple weeks in this section, Latavius Murray finally looks like a must-add this week as he takes over the Broncos backfield. With Melvin Gordon out and Chase Edmonds banged up, this is all Murray going forward, which is a positive for a player who rushed 17 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 11. Justin Jackson rushed 9 times for 66 yards in Week 11 and outgained Jamaal Williams and D'andre Swift in his snaps. James Cook rushed 11 times for 86 yards and was used as an effective change of pace back for the Bills, a role that should see him get more work moving forward.
TE - Austin Hooper, Jonnu Smith
Austin Hooper caught all four targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11. He's still splitting tight end duties in Tennessee but the veteran tight end can still have his moments this season. Jonnu Smith was 4-4 in Week 11 for 40 yards and outsnapped Hunter Henry while eating up more targets as well.
Week 12 has no teams on bye, so everyone should have full rosters this week. In keeping with that great Thanksgiving Day tradition, we are once again doing our Turkey Day DFS Challenge.
