Week 11 NFL DFS Picks - Top Value Plays, Sleepers & Stacking Tips (2025)

November 14, 2025

RotoBaller's Week 11 NFL DFS value plays, sleeper picks, and tournament stacks for daily fantasy football on FanDuel, DraftKings, and Yahoo. Win big in DFS with our expert research and advice.

Week 11 looks as if it's going to be a lot of fun as we have a lot more games that project to be both high-scoring and close compared to last week, when we had a bunch of blowouts in very predictable spots.

This column provides a detailed analysis of three highly stackable games for NFL DFS contests in Week 11 of the 2025 season. My colleague, JP Sticco, usually writes this column every week for our RotoBaller NFL Premium subscribers, but this week I wanted to share it with everyone, as I'm filling in for him and I'm a man of the people!

In this article, I will highlight my three favorite Week 11 games to target and give the rationale for how I plan to attack each game. I hope this helps you when building those GPP lineups and filling out your player pool for Sunday's main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings.

NFL DFS Stacks & Value Picks: Week 11 Guide

Teams on a Bye:

Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints

Teams playing Sunday AM, Sunday PM, and Monday PM (not on main slate):

Chiefs, Broncos, Cowboys, Raiders, Commanders, Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4)

• Current Spread: Steelers -5.5
• Current Total: 49

We just saw this matchup about a month ago, with these teams combining for 64 points and a ton of fantasy points. With both defenses struggling (Cincy a bit more than Pittsburgh) and neither team being able to close out opponents, it makes sense to attack this game again in tournaments.

Steelers Offense: The Jaylen Warren Show

The Steelers want to run the football, make no mistake about it. Having Aaron Rodgers throw the ball more than 35 times a game simply isn't a recipe for success for them at this stage of his career, and a ball-control style of offense has been offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's calling card throughout his tenure. Running the ball is also the best way to try to keep the explosive Bengals offense off the field, too.

Warren had easily his best game of the season against Cincy the first time these teams met, running for 127 yards on 16 carries and adding another 31 yards receiving on five catches.

The Steelers have the best DVOA matchup rating of any team on the main slate, and it's pretty easy to see why, as the Bengals have been steamrolled by Breece Hall and Kyle Monangai since the last time that Warren gashed them.

I'd much rather focus on Warren and the run game here than mess around with Rodgers stacks, though I will admit he did throw for four touchdowns in that first meeting. That's still only something he's done twice all year, so I wouldn't plan on it happening again.

Bengals Offense: The Big Three

Joe Flacco has done a pretty darn good job of revitalizing this offense and has had more success than I (and many others) thought he would. With a shaky offensive line, the Bengals have schemed some quicker throws for Flacco, who is still an excellent reader of coverages and a quick decision-maker even at his age. What he lacks in mobility, he makes up for with an accurate arm and years of experience.

"I've seen some coverages the last couple weeks, that I probably haven't seen in 18 years."

Joe Flacco smiled, almost laughed, talking about it.
He said Ja'Marr Chase & Tee Higgins are such a matchup problem, that defenses are showing looks he's never seen in the NFL.

Flacco also has something that most quarterbacks don't -- two very good receivers, so one of them is almost always open. Flacco has been peppering Ja'Marr Chase with targets at an incredible rate, including 23 targets against Pittsburgh last time they played.

Chase caught 16 of those in that game for 161 yards and a touchdown, and is a near must-play for me in all formats based on the fact that the Steelers have allowed the most fantasy points to receivers who line up on the outside this season.

Tee Higgins popped off last week for 7-121-2, reminding us that he is an elite pivot off Chase and that Flacco plus two receivers is a viable tournament strategy.

We can't sleep on Chase Brown, either, as he caught eight of 14 targets last week and is finally being used as a pass-catcher in this offense -- a good thing for his value, and it suits his skills quite nicely. Brown is far too cheap for his upside with PPR scoring on DK and warrants a lot of exposure, too.

Suggested DFS Stacks:

• Warren/Chase or Warren/Brown
• Flacco/Chase/Warren
• Flacco/Higgins/Chase/Warren
• Flacco/Brown/Chase/Warren

Arizona Cardinals (3-6) at San Francisco 49ers (6-4)

• Spread: Niners -3
• Current Total: 48.5

This game checks in with the second-highest total on the slate and multiple players priced quite affordably (other than Trey McBride and Christian McCaffrey).

Cardinals Offense: Value Options and Consolidated Production

Say what you want about Jacoby Brissett, but he's brought some stability to the quarterback position for the Cardinals that Kyler Murray did not and has been able to put up stats regardless of the game script. He's also priced under $5K again this week against a San Francisco pass defense that ranks 25th in the league.

Since Marvin Harrison Jr. is out this week and Zay Jones remains out as well, we should see Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch play a ton of snaps and be the main receivers for Arizona. Dortch is the guy most likely to line up in the slot, and the Niners have allowed the most fantasy points to slot receivers this season, so he could be a very sneaky option this week. Wilson is the guy who's likely a safer play, as he was already involved with a 14% and 16% target share the last two weeks. Both guys are cheap, though neither one is very safe.

Trey McBride is going to be a very popular option since he's been unstoppable in the Brissett era. He's seen double-digit targets in three of the last four weeks, catching five touchdown passes in that stretch. The Niners are usually decent against the position, but McBride did go 5-43-1 against them back in Week 3, and he had two solid games against them last season.

With the Cardinals' stacks, we are able to target consolidated production and save a good bit of salary in the process. Even McBride at $6.3K on DraftKings isn't all that expensive if you compare him to other WR1 prices (since that's how he's really used).

49ers Offense: More Than Just McCaffrey!

CMC is projected as one of the most highly rostered players again this week, and I get it based on his volume and receiving work. But in tournaments, we are always looking to get different, and pivoting to Niners receivers or tight ends might just be one way to do that.

Ricky Pearsall could return for the Niners this week, which muddies things up a bit for where the targets will go between him and Jauan Jennings. However, if he does play, it will also lower the rostership on Jennings, who would otherwise be a chalkier play at his price.

I think I like George Kittle the most of any San Francisco offensive player this week. We finally saw the version of Kittle that we have been waiting for all year in last week's loss to the Rams, as the tight end caught all nine of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown. With Brock Purdy back under center, we can feel a bit more confident in the San Francisco passing game than in the Mac Jones era.

Putting Kittle and McBride in the same lineup will certainly be unique as the double-TE build is usually pretty uncommon, and it's also one way to leverage their projected rostership since a lot of lineups will have one of them but not the other.

Recommended DFS Stacks:

• Brissett/McBride/Kittle
• Brissett/Dortch/McBride/Kittle
• Brissett/Wilson/McBride/Kittle
• Brissett/Wilson/McBride + Jennings or Pearsall
• Purdy/Kittle/McBride
• Purdy/Jennings/Kittle/McBride

Seattle Seahawks (7-2) at L.A. Rams (7-2)

• Spread: Rams -3
• Current Total: 48.5

Now this is the game of the week! In a meeting between two of the better teams in the NFC, who will prevail? Will this game end up a shootout as the Vegas total suggests it could?

Seahawks Offense: Sammy D Is Feeling It!

Seattle enters this game with the top-rated DVOA passing offense. I was all over Darnold last week in a game that I thought he could smash in. He was off to an incredibly hot start with his partner in crime, JSN, before the Cardinals fumbled away two touchdowns to the Seahawks defense, and the blowout was in full effect.

JSN was then held out for much of the game as he took a hard hit over the middle, and Darnold attempted only a handful of passes for the rest of the game. I don't anticipate this game going anything like that one last week when the Cardinals were clearly overmatched in every aspect of the game.

Seattle will need to play its best game of the season to beat this juggernaut Rams team, and it'll likely have to score 25 to 30 points on offense to get that win. The Rams have the eighth-ranked pass defense, so it will be strength on strength here, but L.A. also has the fifth-ranked run defense and will likely force the Seahawks to have to throw the football to move the chains.

Darnold has been awesome this season and has flourished in Klint Kubiak's play-action-heavy system. He'll likely fly under the radar again this week in terms of rostership with QBs on both the high end and low end of the salary scale soaking up more rostership.

JSN is also priced as high as he's been all season, but if we get a 15-target game from him in a potential shootout, he could be worth every penny. I always like to consider Cooper Kupp (too cheap) and both tight ends (Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner) as secondary options, too, especially when the tight ends have both been red-zone threats this season.

I don't think we can count on much of anything from Rashid Shaheed yet. He saw just one target last week and is still likely not up to speed with the playbook on his new team.

Rams Offense: The Death Star Is Fully Operational

Last week was a Kyren Williams week for me, but it turned out to be that the Rams scored enough points for all of their big dogs to eat. This week, I will probably take Williams out of my player pool and focus more on Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Tyler Higbee, and Colby Parkinson.

Matthew Stafford has been playing at an elite level, but stacking him with two pass-catchers in DFS is nearly impossible without making some really big concessions at every other position. I think the move this week is to play him with one of Adams or Nacua and then add in Higbee or Parkinson as the third piece since Seattle has struggled with tight ends all season.

Higbee had only three catches for 33 yards last week, but the Rams also led throughout the game and didn't need to lean on him nearly as much. He had a target share in the teens for four straight weeks before that, and is a nice, cheap piece of Rams stacks with some upside, while Parkinson went 4-41-1 last week and has a 15% target share.

Recommended DFS Stacks:

• Darnold/JSN/Nacua
• Darnold/JSN/Barner/Adams
• Stafford/Nacua/Higbee
• Stafford/Adams/Parkinson/JSN
