Colts' Bye Week Creates Opportunities for Fantasy Managers

The Indianapolis Colts, leading the NFL in scoring and total yards, are enjoying a bye week. This pause leaves fantasy football managers without league-leading rusher Jonathan Taylor, along with Daniel Jones and Tyler Warren due to injuries. However, a variety of sleeper options are available, presenting an excellent chance to fill critical roster gaps for Week 11.

Rookie Tight Ends and Quarterback-Tight End Combos Shine

This week's Thursday Night Football matchup features the New England Patriots taking on the New York Jets, a potential blowout game. Despite the expectations, this scenario may pave the way for a rookie tight end, readily available in many leagues, to shine. Managers can also explore quarterback-tight end combinations in anticipation of a high-scoring affair in Madrid on Sunday.

Key Sleeper Options Available

Among this week's sleeper candidates are:

• Tua Tagovailoa (DK DFS Price: $4,500) - Despite leading the league in interceptions, Tagovailoa has found the end zone multiple times in six out of ten games. Against the struggling Washington Commanders, he could post impressive passing numbers.
• Emari Demercado (DK DFS Price: $4,500) - Following injuries to key players, Demercado has been a productive option for the Arizona Cardinals, amassing significant scrimmage yards while facing a decline in the San Francisco 49ers' run defense.
• Chris Rodriguez Jr. (DK DFS Price: $3,400) - Rodriguez has scored in three of the last four weeks and is a valuable sleeper against the Miami Dolphins' poor run defense.
• Michael Wilson (DK DFS Price: $3,000) - With injuries in the Arizona Cardinals' receiver unit, Wilson is expected to see an uptick in targets alongside Trey McBride.
• Greg Dulcich (DK DFS Price: $2,800) - As a key pass-catching option for the Dolphins, Dulcich could emerge as a sleeper against the Commanders' defense.

While navigating injuries and bye weeks, these sleeper options represent potential game-changers for fantasy teams eager to maintain a competitive edge.
