Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
Cardinals ruled out Emari Demercado (toe) for Week 11 against the Texans. Demercado was limited in practice throughout the week, but that won’t be enough to get him on the field for Week 11. Demercado will now miss his third-straight game, while James Conner will once again serve as the Cardinals’ high-volume RB1. It’s possible Michael Carter, who was acquired from the Jets earlier in the week, slots in as the RB2 behind Conner.
Houston Texans DFS Spin
Nico Collins (calf) is expected to play in Week 11 against the Cardinals. After missing Week 10 with a calf injury, Collins practiced throughout the week and was upgraded from limited to full on Friday. The Texan’s WR1 gets a friendly fantasy matchup against the Cardinals and is in the WR2 mix for fantasy purposes.
