NFL DraftKings Picks: Week 11

Chase Brown

I’ll be posting NFL DraftKings picks here. I cannot post lineups anymore, but I will list some players I like each week.



Week 11: Main Slate


I can no longer post any lineups, per DraftKings rules. I will be trying something different this year, which is to rank my order of preferences by position taking price into account.


Top DFS Quarterbacks:

  1. Matthew Stafford, $6,600 (vs. Seahawks)
  2. Josh Allen, $7,000 (vs. Buccaneers)
  3. Sam Darnold, $5,700 (at Rams)
  4. Jameis Winston, $4,600 (vs. Packers)
  5. J.J. McCarthy, $5,200 (vs. Bears)
  6. Jacoby Brissett, $4,900 (vs. 49ers)
  7. Michael Penix Jr., $4,700 (vs. Falcons)
  8. Aaron Rodgers, $5,400 (vs. Bengals)
The Seahawks have a pass-funnel defense, so perhaps Matthew Stafford will be able to duplicate what Baker Mayfield accomplished against them earlier in the year. Josh Allen is always an option, especially versus another pass-funnel defense. The best of the cheap options is Jameis Winston because we know what he can do.


Top DFS Running Backs:

  1. Chase Brown, $5,700 (at Steelers)
  2. Rico Dowdle, $6,800 (at Falcons)
  3. R.J. Harvey, $5,400 (vs. Chiefs)
  4. Jaylen Warren, $6,100 (vs. Bengals)
  5. Christian McCaffrey, $9,000 (at Cardinals)
  6. Bijan Robinson, $8,300 (vs. Panthers)
  7. James Cook, $7,300 (vs. Buccaneers)
  8. Rachaad White, $6,200 (at Bills)
  9. Kimani Vidal, $5,900 (at Jaguars)
  10. Woody Marks, $5,400 (at Titans)
Chase Brown has gotten hot lately, as he’s been more productive with Joe Flacco under center.


Top DFS Wide Receivers:

  1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, $8,900 (at Rams)
  2. Ja’Marr Chase, $8,500 (at Steelers)
  3. Puka Nacua, $8,700 (vs. Seahawks)
  4. Drake London, $7,400 (vs. Panthers)
  5. Ladd McConkey, $6,500 (at Jaguars)
  6. Khalil Shakir, $5,300 (vs. Buccaneers)
  7. DK Metcalf, $5,700 (vs. Bengals)
  8. Tez Johnson, $4,700 (at Bills)
  9. Justin Jefferson, $7,500 (vs. Bears)
  10. Emeka Egbuka, $7,200 (at Bills)
  11. Rashee Rice, $7,900 (at Broncos)
  12. Darius Slayton, $4,800 (vs. Packers)
  13. Calvin Austin, $4,000 (vs. Bengals)
  14. Jalen Coker, $3,100 (at Falcons)
The spend-ups look great this week. We have some solid values as well. Tez Johnson and Darius Slayton look good because of the injury-related matchup and the Jameis Winston factor, respectively.


Top DFS Tight Ends:

  1. Trey McBride, $6,300 (vs. 49ers)
  2. T.J. Hockenson, $3,000 (vs. Bears)
  3. George Kittle, $5,000 (at Cardinals)
  4. Kyle Pitts, $4,000 (vs. Panthers)
  5. Dalton Schultz, $3,900 (at Titans)
  6. Theo Johnson, $4,100 (vs. Packers)
  7. Pat Freiermuth, $3,200 (vs. Bengals)
  8. Jonnu Smith, $2,900 (vs. Bengals)
  9. Dawson Knox, $3,300 (vs. Buccaneers)
Trey McBride continues to dominate, but I don’t consider him a must-play like I did last week. There are plenty of solid cheap options, including T.J. Hockenson, Pat Freiermuth, and Jonnu Smith, all of whom have terrific matchups.


Top DFS Defenses:

  1. Ravens, $3,800 (at Browns)
  2. Texans, $3,700 (at Titans)
  3. Packers, $3,600 (at Giants)
  4. Falcons, $3,500 (vs. Panthers)
  5. Chiefs, $3,100 (at Broncos)
  6. Chargers, $2,800 (at Jaguars)
  7. Vikings, $3,000 (vs. Bears)
Dillon Gabriel probably wouldn’t cut it in the CFL, so Baltimore’s defense looks great this week. The Texans obviously have a great matchup against Tennessee..




Players to Avoid: Kyren Williams (6900), Keenan Allen (5300). The Seahawks are the best team in the NFL when it comes to stopping the run. Keenan Allen is playing about half the snaps.



Week 11: Jets-Patriots Showdown Slate


Top Captains: Drake Maye (18000). You don’t always want to play the chalk at captain, but Drake Maye has a terrific matchup against the pathetic Jets.

Top Spend-Up FLEX (in addition to Top Captains): Breece Hall (10200). Breece Hall will continue to be the Jets’ lone, viable weapon. He’s game-flow proof, as he’ll run if ahead and catch plenty of passes if behind.

Top Value: Mack Hollins (5800), Hunter Henry (5400), Mason Taylor (4000). I like both of Maye’s top weapons. I don’t know how it happens, but Mack Hollins has somehow become his preferred receiver with Kayshon Boutte sidelined. Hunter Henry, meanwhile, has a great matchup. Mason Taylor also has a great matchup.

Top Punt Play: Kyle Williams (2000). Kyle Williams saw only two targets last week, but he made one of them count with a 72-yard reception.

Player to Avoid: Justin Fields (9400). The Patriots have a great pass rush, and there’s always a chance Justin Fields is benched.
