Week 11 Booms and Busts
By: Logan Lepiscopo
The injuries are still continuing to pile up week after week, and bye weeks have been decimating roster and chances of winning, but as fantasy football managers we have to continue to work the waiver wire and find ways to fill in for our absent superstar players. REMINDER: JUST BECAUSE A PLAYER IS LABELED AS A “BUST” DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD BENCH THEM! IT SIMPLY MEANS THEY MAY NOT LIVE UP TO THEIR PROJECTION!!! Without further ado shall we get into the players that can boom or potentially bust for week 11 of the NFL season.
