Carson Palmer primed for big finish

For some reason, some fantasy football players are slow buying into Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer. Was it the three interceptions he threw in relief of Kyle Boller in Week 7? Forget that considering he was with the team for a few days and didn't expect to play.

Was it the three interceptions he threw after a bye two weeks ago? Well, he also passed for 332 yards with three touchdowns and made some really good throws. Palmer passed for 299 yards with two TDs last week and is really adjusting well to a new team.

A strong running game and dynamic receivers make Palmer a great play the rest of the way. He's an every week start and should be owned in all leagues. Owners that lost Texans QB Matt Schaub should seek to acquire Palmer, who is an excellent start against a Vikings team that is thin in the secondary.

Good plays in Week 11:

Marshawn Lynch (Seahawks, RB): The matchup against the Rams, who rank last against the run, looked real appealing, but lost some luster with season-ending injuries to Seahawks right guard John Moffitt and right tackle James Carpenter. Still, it should deter Lynch too much this week. Lynch has scored in five consecutive games.

Kendall Hunter (49ers, RB): Frank Gore is listed as questionable, although he is expected to play. Even if he does, the touches might be limited. If Gore does play, Hunter is still a solid flex play against the Cardinals and gets an upgrade if Gore sits.

Brandon Jacobs (Giants, RB): Ahmad Bradshaw will sit out another week and Jacobs will get a big workload against an undersized Eagles defense. Jacobs is a good bet to score.

Brandon Lloyd (Rams, WR): He has 22 targets the last two weeks and despite a tough matchup up with Browns CB Joe Haden last week, Lloyd had four catches for 48 yards with a TD.

Denarius Moore (Raiders, WR): He has 18 targets the last two games and had five catches for 123 yards with two TDs in Week 10. He should be owned in all leagues and is a top 20 WR the rest of the way.

Vincent Brown (Chargers, WR): Malcom Floyd will miss another game and Brown will start. He had four catches for 79 yards two weeks ago and five receptions for 97 yards and a TD last week in addition to a TD being called back.

Laurent Robinson (Cowboys, WR): He has four TDs in the last three games and is playing more snaps with Miles Austin injured.

Earl Bennett (Bears, WR): QB Jay Cutler clearly has a comfort level with Bennett, who has caught all of his 11 targets for 176 yards and a TD the last two weeks. He's a much better play in PPR leagues.

Tony Gonzalez (Falcons, TE): The Titans have allowed five TDs to tight ends the last six games and the likely absence of WR Julio Jones should mean more targets for Gonzalez.
