Underdog Fantasy Monday Top Plays 11/17

In this weekly series, the crew will break down their top plays for the day and tell you why you should target them! It’s the last game of Week 11, and we are set up for what hopes to be a high-scoring affair in Las Vegas. Let’s take a look at some Underdog plays to win ourselves some money.

Ashton Jeanty HIGHER than 83.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards

I’ll warn you all now, there’s too many Raiders on this Underdog play from me. However, the spot is simply too juicy and the players are too talented for me to resist. A golden rule this season has been to play players facing the Dallas Cowboys for fantasy, and it is yet to truly fail through 10 weeks.

Ashton Jeanty is too talented and too explosive to not get there against Dallas, even with the addition of Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson. I want fireworks in this game, and that starts on the back of Ashton Jeanty for the Las Vegas Raiders.

George Pickens HIGHER than 7.5 Targets

George Pickens has gone higher than 7.5 targets in all but 3 games so far this year. Even with CeeDee Lamb on the field, Pickens commands targets from Dak in a way he never did from Steelers quarterbacks. The Raiders defense is below average as well, and if the Raiders offense is able to put up points the way the rest of the league has against the Cowboys, Dak will be throwing to Pickens and Lamb a lot in this game.

Brock Bowers HIGHER Than 74.5 Receiving Yards

Perhaps this play is simply me wish-casting my Underdog best ball teams to come back to life, but 3 targets and 1 reception for Brock Bowers last week is simply unacceptable from the Raiders. When they targeted Bowers heavily, they either won the game or lost because of their defense, not their lack of offense. I expect them to go back to treating Bowers as the primary receiving option in this offense, and Bowers has the explosiveness and talent to turn any reception into a massive gain. This play is ambitious, but I like going higher than 74.5 receiving yards here on Underdog.

Tre Tucker HIGHER than 21.5 Yard Longest Reception

While not necessarily prescriptive, Tre Tucker has gone higher than 21.5 yards on a reception in 6 out of 9 games played so far this season. The Raiders use Tucker down the field, and he has the athleticism and talent to be able to make good on the downfield targets he receives any given week. Matched up against this bad Cowboys’ defense, I like the 66.6% rate that we’re getting on Tucker once again giving us a long reception.
