Week 11 FanDuel Tournament Pivots
A potential matchup against Patrick Peterson has many scared off of Stefon Diggs, despite his historical pace as of late.

Quarterback

Chalk:

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts come into this week with the highest implied team totals, so Tom Brady and Andrew Luck both should be popular options. If paying down, FanDuel players are likely to focus on Kirk Cousins, who has performed well lately and is playing with the fifth-highest implied team total against the Green Bay Packers' funnel defense.

Pivot:

Eli Manning, $7,700 (vs Chicago Bears): Since the beginning of 2014, Eli Manning has averaged 57 more passing yards and 0.20 more touchdowns at home than on the road. In five home games this season, Manning has averaged 324 passing yards, 2.2 touchdowns, and 19.7 FanDuel points, as opposed to 216 yards, 1 touchdown, and 11.6 FanDuel points on the road.

This game will be played at home against a less-than-imposing Chicago Bears defense that ranks 17th in Adjusted (for strength of schedule) Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. With the New York Giants listed as seven-point favorites and projected for a respectable 25.75-point implied team total, Manning should have no trouble piling up stats in this matchup, and he will see much lower ownership than Kirk Cousins, who is $100 cheaper.
