Week 11 was difficult for passing across the league, as only 14 of the 28 starting quarterbacks threw for over 200 passing yards.<\/p>\n
If you had Jacoby<\/strong> Brissett<\/strong> passing for 452 yards and Bryce<\/strong> Young<\/strong> passing for 448 yards on the bingo card, congratulations.<\/p>\n Game state continued to matter.<\/p>\n The Cardinals fell behind by a touchdown 16 seconds into the game and were down 2 touchdowns less than 10 minutes into the game.<\/p>\n Brissett was buoyed by the fact that both the Cardinal and 49er defenses are trending among the worst in the league as a result of injuries.<\/p>\n Young had a slightly different path, but the Panthers trailed at halftime by double digits, and hit his ceiling by completing a comeback and the game reaching overtime.<\/p>\n Through 11 weeks of the season, six of the weekly passing yardage leaders have been involved in a game with a lead change in the final two minutes, and four quarterbacks were trailing at halftime.<\/p>\n Jared<\/strong> Goff<\/strong> and the Lions offense scoring 42 points and winning by 3 touchdowns is the outlier.<\/p>\n Game state continues to be very important.<\/p>\n Teams that jump out to early leads have lower passing volume in the later stages of the game, despite high efficiency.<\/p>\n Identifying which of the home underdogs can win or keep the game competitive should be the first step in selecting which games to attack for DFS and passing props.<\/p>\n This week has several games with double-digit point spreads and only two games currently lined under a field goal.<\/p>\n One of those features a matchup between Tyler<\/strong> Shough<\/strong> and Kirk Cousins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Quarterback injuries are becoming a significant issue, and matchups are not ideal for high passing games this week.<\/p>\nNFL Weekly Passing Leaders, 2025:<\/h3>\n
