DraftKings Quarterbacks - Week 11 DFS Picks
Andrew Luck (vs TEN, $7,200)
This is an interesting game. The Tennessee Titans should be favored to win, but the Indianapolis Colts, in reality, are. Generally when that happens, Vegas is correct. That said, Andrew Luck is going to have to score for the Colts to win the game. The Titans defense is solid, but Luck's upside is too high to pass on him. He posted over 30 fantasy points in his last game against them, which was in Tennessee, throwing for over 350 yards and three touchdowns. A repeat performance would have fantasy owners thrilled.
Colin Kaepernick (vs NE, $5,200)
Colin Kaepernick has been playing much better over the last couple of weeks. He has over 20 fantasy points in two straight games now, and his price tag is very reasonable. He gets a tough matchup against the New England Patriots, but that only means he should be throwing the ball a lot more often. He has the added bonus of running when the pocket collapses. In his last game, he rushed 10 times for 55 yards. He could easily find his way into the end zone on the ground. He has a ton of upside and is great for tournaments this week.
DraftKings Running Backs - Week 11 DFS Picks
Le'Veon Bell (at CLE, $8,800)
Le'Veon Bell exploded last week. He scored two touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys, rushing for one and catching one. Out of the backfield, he ran for 57 yards on 17 carries. Lined up at wide receiver, he caught nine of 10 targets for 77 yards. He is going to dominate the Cleveland Browns, and after the game is out of hand in the third quarter, he should see a bulk of the 'run the clock out' carries. Use him in all leagues without hesitation.
Rashad Jennings (vs CHI, $3,600)
Rashad Jennings, for his price tag, is one of the best running backs on the board this week. He is getting around three to six targets per game out of the backfield, which increases his upside significantly, and he is also touching the ball around 10-15 times on carries. In his last game, he rushed for 87 yards on 15 carries and racked up 13.9 fantasy points. If a fantasy owner can get that kind of production from a running back that is almost minimally priced, it is a great week.
DraftKings Wide Receivers - Week 11 DFS Picks
A.J. Green (vs BUF, $8,300)
A.J. Green is proving that he should definitely be mentioned with Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, and Odell Beckham Jr. He gets left out sometimes, but this season, it is impossible to ignore him. In his last three games, he has 19.8, 24.1, and 33.9 fantasy points. He is getting anywhere from 10-20 targets per game from Andy Dalton, and if the Buffalo Bills are leading in this game, the Bengals are going to force it to him. With two touchdowns in his last three games, he is worth consideration in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Terrelle Pryor (vs PIT, $5,600)
Terrelle Pryor has been playing well this season for the Cleveland Browns. He has over 15 fantasy points in two of his last three outings, and his price tag is still fairly reasonable. He is no longer the deep sleeper selection he was at the beginning of the season. He has solidified into a very solid option in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. The Browns are going to be throwing the ball to try and keep up with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Pryor is their best playmaker.
DraftKings Tight Ends - Week 11 DFS Picks
Charles Clay (at CIN, $2,600)
Charles Clay is a very risky option tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals, but for his price tag, he is a great tournament option. He has been targeted quite a bit over the last couple of games, and he is playing on over 50 snaps per game. The Buffalo Bills are going to look his way, but he has failed to break off a big gain of recent. If he finds the end zone, which is a serious possibility, he immediately crushes value. Do not use him in 50/50 contests.
DraftKings Defenses - Week 11 DFS Picks
Dallas Cowboys Defense (vs BAL, $2,600)
Forget about paying up for a defense. In general, defenses are too unpredictable to really spend too much time and effort on. The Dallas Cowboys get a good matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens, a team that struggles to score. That should be enough to warrant using them in all leagues. As a bonus, the Cowboys' defense is very cheap on DraftKings this week.
