RosterWatch Week 11 Matchup Tool Now Available
Welcome back.
This is a proprietary weekly tool provided by RosterWatch for our PRO community.
It is designed to be a decision-making tool for gauging the defensive opponents your fantasy players face. If you are new to this, our time-tested and most popular flagship in-season tool, the instructions for use couldn’t be simpler, and can be found below.
DO NOT RELY ON “FANTASY POINTS AGAINST” as your primary indicator for player matchups ever again. It is a flawed metric, as you’ll see, which will cause you heartache and struggle.
The rankings represented here are derived via a proprietary algorithm which takes into account not only standard “fantasy points against” metrics, but also (and most importantly) weighted averages and medians of separate individual player and defensive-unit scouting grades for members of the 2019 unit that will be run-stopping, pass-rushing, or covering against the position in question, along with other analytic trends including projected game-script, game-flow, Vegas indicators, volume of total snaps and much, much, more.
…
INSTRUCTIONS:
To use the tool, think about your fantasy player.
Let’s say you own Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, and would like to see how he matches up against the defense he faces this week.
First, look down the list and find the Raiders (Jacobs’ team). You will see that the Raiders’ opponent (OPP) is the Bengals in Week 11, and there are four color-coded cells in the horizontal columns marked “OPP vs. QBs,” “OPP vs. RBs,” “OPP vs. WRs” and “OPP vs. TEs.”
These are the OPPONENT’S (in this case the Bengals’) OFFICIAL ROSTERWATCH MATCHUP RANKINGS AGAINST THESE GIVEN POSITIONS.
They are not the rankings for the Raiders, but rather, for the OPPONENT THEY FACE IN THIS GIVEN WEEK (the BENGALS). In the “OPP vs. RBs” cell for the Raiders, you’ll notice a big, blue ‘No. 1’. This means Jacobs faces our best possible matchup for opposing RBs in Week 11 (the BENGALS). This is a great indicator for owners of Jacobs, and is a positive one for those thinking of rostering him in DFS contests.
Repeat the same process for other players on your roster as you are trying to decide which players to start and which to sit in season-long leagues. Also use it to identify which upside-plays to roster in DFS contests based on matchup.
With the launch of the online tool, you can now sort by any column: vegas line, over/under, and matchup ranks vs. each position for easy reference. The Vegas lines are updated hourly for your reference and research. Please note that matchup rankings can shift through the week with line and O/U movements as well as injury news.
“1″ is the best (easiest) matchup, “32″ is the worst (toughest).

Hoarding all the depth RBs on my 10 man bench. Should I drop Guice or Pollard to stash Gallman? Or keep my guys I have already?
you could drop pollard. it’s just robbing peter to pay paul though
Fuck Paul. I’ll stick with Peter.
Flex..ppr..Ekeler vs KC or Crowder vs Wash?
i lean crowder in a revenge game
Currently I have the Bills and Patriots defenses. Should I drop the Bills and pick up the Steelers defense? I know I would give up the dolphins this week but the Steelers schedule the rest of the way looks tempting. I’m locked into the playoffs and am looking ahead to make sure I got my line up and matchups sewn up to be playing week 16! You guys are great!
i don’t see a problem. you’re going to start the pats most of the time anyway.
This may need to wait for the tradecast but I’ll give it a shot. PPR league and i have Russ and Murray at QB, i just picked up Carr with intentions of trading Murray. Nobody seems interested. I can’t believe I’m typing this but what do you think about trading Russ ? I’m sure it sounds crazy but my RB position is weak with DJ sucking so bad. I’ve got Fournette, D Williams, RoJones and DJ cause nobody wanted him either 3-4 weeks ago. I’m very good at WR w/ Julio Lockett Golladay Kirk & Crowder. If i can land an elite RB like Kamara, Cook, etc. and roll with Murray what do you think? I’m not a fan of trading away Russ but i feel kinda stuck. Btw, I’m tied for 3rd and top 6 make playoffs. Thanks, You guys are the best!
you definitely don’t need 3 qbs. i think you can win your league with murray. he’s almost matchup proof.
Great content as always, thanks RW!
Pick two for PPR between Sutton, Keenan, Brian Hill, and Kupp (I’m almost sure I’ll roll with him)
if there’s no freeman i’m going with hill
.5 PPR
Chris Carson or Le’Veon Bell ROS?
bell has a great schedule, but you can’t go wrong with carson.
Drop Hooper?? I also own Henry. 4 man bench…tough to stash. Thoughts ?
hooper done for the fantasy szn
3 to 5 weeks is what I last heard.
unless you have mad depth, and mad games in hand in the standings
we have to drop him 🙁
Care or Rivers? Worried about game script with Carr and J. Jacobs. Highest point total with KC and LAC. A must win. Crowder or Ridley? Pick up W. Fuller?
Rivers as a starter is a bad way to lose your matchup!
every week he puts up sub 15 pts at qb. and we know it !
we continually put him in expecting different results than before, by definition we are retarded … or insane
one or the other.
Start which 2 in a super flex league?
-Kyler
-Foles
-Winston
Kyler and jamies
I need some WR depth, Have Godwin, Allen, Golden Tate and Pascal. My RB depth is solid with Bell, Jacobs, Damien Williams, Singletary, Lindsay, Samuels. Had an offer to send Lindsay for DK Metcalf. Might counter with Singletary. Would we at RW Nation do either one of these deals? Lindsay has a rock solid schedule in the playoffs. It is a PPR
I should add, we start 3 WR, 2 RB, 2 Flex, I guess the question becomes, ROS pick 2 of 3, DK, Lindsay, Singletary.
I keep Lindsay – the price for DK is a lot too high
Dk has been hit and miss all season.
though hes getting more love lately
Singletary is fair
though dk isn’t the kinda wr I wanna ride or die with the ROS
I think suton for Lindsay is fair
or maybe target landry for singletary
??
Standard league, would you flex Z. Ertz, or James White? Thanks.
1st for me its brissett But the tool says to take darnold
then at wr Sutton ( despite bal wrs having a slightly better matchup – I mean they only throw to tight ends )
but Rb is a crapshoot!
Samuels with the hopes conner gets hurt
again
whoops my answer was intended damn yankee
as for this one – id say White
NEP have been dismantling tight ends this season
Hi RW. Would you drop Stills or Fitz to pick up Fuller at WR? 1/2pt PPR.
I would
.5 ppr pick 3
Hyde
Guice
OBJ
Diggs
Miles Sanders
Robert woods
David Johnson
Obj Diggs and woods for me
id rather the floor of like 5 for woods, vs the floor of Dj , and guice of 0
TBags (6-4) PPR, MOST PTS BY 150 thx to you’s. Need Henry bye week help. Need RB and flex out of J. Samuel, Guice, Mattison, Sutton and Hollywood (PPR)? If feeling frisky, Darnold, Brissett or Foles? Love all the content, so helpful for daily too!
answered in the other thread – tough one.
Need 3.. 1 pt. ppr
1. Deebo
2. Dede Westbrook
3. Keenan Allen
4. Guice
5. Hollywood brown
Thanks!
D. Carr or K. Allen
C. Ridley or Deebo
Trade DK for Edleman
