Welcome to Week 11 of the 2009 NFL season. Each week I'll be revealing my Stock Exchange starting lineup to you, analyzing the players I've purchased, how much I paid for them and their matchup for that week. I'll also be including the starting lineups of five other PFW editors to give you a good idea of which players we like in that week's slate of games. Hopefully this analysis will help you make the best possible lineup and get you on your way to winning the $2,500 grand prize. Good luck!

Team Blunda

Saints QB Drew Brees ($44.01) at Buccaneers
Brees' day didn't quite go as well as I had hoped last week. Going against a very poor Rams defense, he was only able to throw for 223 yards and two TDs, also tossing two picks. He'll get a chance at a reprieve this week, though, against the Bucs, who have consistently given up big passing plays and have allowed 19 TD passes on the season.
Week purchased: Week Six

Cardinals QB Kurt Warner ($22.17) at Rams
Picking up Warner paid off for me last week, as he ripped up the Seahawks for 340 yards and two TDs. This Sunday he gets to pay a visit to his former stomping grounds, St. Louis, for a meeting with the Rams, whose "D" has been vulnerable all year long. I don't see any reason why Warner shouldn't pick them apart on his way to an easy victory.
Week purchased: Week 10

Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams ($16.98) vs. Dolphins
After gaining 122 yards from scrimmage in Week 10, Williams already went for me this week, playing Thursday night against the Dolphins. Although he was able to blast Miami for 122 yards on the ground, the fact that he only got 13 carries was a bit perplexing. If he'd been given a standard workload, this could have been a much bigger effort from Williams.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall ($14.28) at Chiefs
I was forced to find a new RB after Michael Turner got hurt last week, and I couldn't pass on this matchup. Even though Mendenhall struggled last Sunday vs. the Bengals, running for 36 yards, he had been solid before that, and I expect him to bounce back in a huge way this week. The Chiefs rank among the league's worst run defenses, giving up 141.3 yards per game.
Week purchased: Week 11

Chargers WR Vincent Jackson ($24.35) at Broncos
Sometimes you get burned in this format, and that's exactly what happened to me last week with Jackson. The Eagles decided that they were going to double-team San Diego's top weapon and not let him beat them deep, resulting in V-Jax finishing with exactly one catch for 10 yards. He has been good enough this season that I'm willing to give him another shot vs. a Denver team he had 4-46-1 against earlier this year.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Cowboys WR Miles Austin ($12.62) vs. Redskins
After catching at least one TD pass in four straight games, Austin was due for a bad outing, and it came last week at Green Bay, when he caught just four passes for 20 yards. Given that he's liable to have a monster game in any week, though, I'm going to stick with Austin this Sunday vs. the Redskins' No. 1-ranked pass defense, wise decision or not.
Week purchased: Week Seven

Vikings WR Sidney Rice ($14.60) vs. Seahawks
Taking a flier on Rice last week turned out to be a terrific move, as he absolutely tore apart the Lions for seven catches and 201 yards. Now that he has firmly established himself as QB Brett Favre's go-to target, I don't see why he shouldn't continue to be a fantasy stud this week against Seattle, which has surrendered 14 TD passes in 2009.
Week purchased: Week 10

Eagles TE Brent Celek ($11.95) at Bears
Make that five TDs this season for Celek, who caught yet another one last week at San Diego, giving him a score in three straight games. At this point, it almost doesn't matter who his opponent is in a given week, as he has managed to get it done against just about everyone. Look for QB Donovan McNabb's favorite red-zone target to be busy again this Sunday at Chicago.
Week purchased: Week Nine

Bengals PK Shayne Graham ($4.81) at Raiders
Graham came through big-time last week at Pittsburgh, connecting of 4-of-5 field goals on a field that's typically difficult on kickers. Although I don't expect a repeat of that performance this Sunday, I think Graham could have a decent day at Oakland, which has allowed the second-most field goals this season (18).
Week purchased: Week 10

Cincinnati Bengals defense ($9.57) at Raiders
The Bengals have unexpectedly been a top-notch fantasy defense this season, picking off 11 passes, racking up 25 sacks and giving up just 16.3 points per game. They make for a great fantasy play against a Raiders team that can't do much of anything on offense, although it might actually hurt Cincy that QB Bruce Gradkowski will be starting over the erratic JaMarcus Russell.
