What is JockMKT?
JockMKT is a fantastic new fantasy football platform that combines the financial market and sports. Bidding on a player as an IPO and getting paid out where they finish on the day. Example: “If fifth place overall is worth $20, and Tom Brady finishes with the fifth-most points, then every user holding Tom Brady receives $20 per share.” It is a fun way to try and buy low on top targets that week who have big time upside and can pay off their IPO price.
How does bidding work?
Bidding is very similar to Ebay. You enter a max bid and JockMKT will only use your max bid on players if needed. If no one competes you will get the player at their initial offering.
For more information, see our complete breakdown here.

Five Players to Bid on in Week 11
Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints
Bid until top 45
Teams have run 290 times this year on the Eagles, tied with the Chargers for the most in football. The Eagles also funnel targets underneath to running backs, allowing 8.1 targets and 6.8 receptions per game to running backs. Last week in his first game without Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram played 68.8% of the snaps, getting 13 carries and seven targets, going for 108 total yards and a touchdown.
Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Bid until top 50
While Tee Higgins has yet to have the breakout performance we would hope for, he is on the verge of having a massive game soon. In games both he and Ja’Marr Chase have played, Higgins has only seen 2 fewer targets and is seeing 33% of the air yards. Chase has the efficiency, with 262 more receiving yards, despite having one fewer catch.
Jeffery Wilson, RB, San Francisco 49ers
Bid until top 50
I will be very interested to see where Jeffery Wilson ends up on JockMKT, as he is currently projected 72nd. I won’t typically go much higher than projected landing spots, but with Wilson there is too much value, as Elijah Mitchell is set to miss this game. The 49ers are extremely run heavy, especially when leading. They run 59.8% of the time, the third-highest rate in the league when leading, and Wilson should get as many touches as he can handle.

Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens
Bid until top 70
With 8-plus targets in back-to-back games and 80 or more yards in two of his last three, Rashod Bateman has been coming on strong of late. Historically, rookies progress more as the season goes along, so I expect Bateman to have a big performance Sunday. Miles Boykin is out, while Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay are questionable, so Bateman may play as much as he can handle.
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Buffalo Bills
Bid until top 70
Emmanuel Sanders has been ice cold of late, but this is a perfect bounceback spot against the pass-funnel Indianapolis Colts. 82.1% of touchdowns against the Colts this season have come through the air, and Sanders leads the team in end-zone targets. He also has 31% of the team’s air yards, and the Colts allow the fifth-highest completion percentage against the deep ball in football this season.
