Week 11 DraftKings NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2025)

Jamie's DraftKings NFL DFS Week 11 picks, value plays, DFS sleepers for the main slate (2025). His top DK plays and value picks for daily fantasy football lineups.

What a week! I nailed the Week 10 rankings so well that I not only won the weekly rankings at FantasyPros but am back in first overall! I appreciate everyone who has been following this, and especially the amount of support (and fantasy questions) I've received on the X platform this season.

Let's turn our attention now to Week 11. This week already profiles as high-scoring as there are multiple games flirting with totals in the upper 40s, and fantasy gold should come along with any shootouts that take place as a result. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are butting heads in an important divisional clash that could really produce. Let's rock and roll!

Be sure to jump into our RotoBaller Discord! We have so many different channels devoted to whatever you're playing in fantasy football. We also have lots of great NFL DFS articles and NFL DFS tools to help you win MORE this season! Good luck with your DraftKings DFS lineups -- let's dominate this Week 11 slate together!

 

DraftKings Quarterbacks - Week 11 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Josh Allen, BUF vs TB ($7,000)

Josh Allen's price tag didn't move this week. It looked bleak for him for a while last week against the Dolphins, but he was able to put up a perfectly good 24.3 DK score as the Bills unbelievably were forced into playing catch-up the whole game. This week, they get Tampa Bay, and the game is currently sporting an O/U of 48.5.

The Bucs are notoriously a pass-funnel defense. They've allowed the fifth-highest YPA and the 10th-most FPPG to opposing QBs, and Allen is an elite dual-threat passer and runner. There are some high-priced skill positions that will be tough to pass on in cash games, but the safety of Allen at QB is certainly a viable path.

VALUE PLAY

Aaron Rodgers, PIT vs CIN ($5,400)

Woah! An Aaron Rodgers appearance! I think this is the first time he's even gotten a mention in my weekly write-up, but that's what playing the Bengals defense will do for you. Cincinnati has allowed 113 points over its last three games and will be without both Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart.

Father Time is definitely showing up for Rodgers, but the beauty of DFS is that we can target him the one week he's viable and then toss him right back into the pool. Cincy ranks in the bottom five in both sack rate and pressure rate, and the Steelers have an implied total of 27 points, which is their season-high.

Other options - Justin Herbert, J.J. McCarthy, Jacoby Brissett

 

DraftKings Running Backs - Week 11 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Christian McCaffrey, SF @ ARI ($9,000)

With the incomparable Jonathan Taylor on bye this week, the top of the RB pool is a three-man gang of Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, and Josh Jacobs. While the latter two are cheaper, McCaffrey is the only one who does not have a direct thorn in his side that will steal carries and (more importantly) red-zone touches.

Even in a game where he's inefficient (12 carries for 30 yards last week against the Rams), McCaffrey will more than make up for it in the passing game. He had 10 more targets last week and caught eight of them, stabilizing his PPR score and not busting cash games for anyone who played him.

McCaffrey has a 27.4% target share through the air, which leads all RBs. He has four games this season in which he's received double-digit targets, and Arizona has allowed the 10th-most FPPG to opposing RBs.

VALUE PLAY

Chase Brown, CIN @ PIT ($5,700)

Chase Brown is the value of the week. DraftKings had two full weeks to price him correctly, and they have missed the mark completely, making it our immediate gain. Samaje Perine hurt himself in Week 9 and is already ruled out for this one, and Brown's usage was utterly insane after Perine went down.

For the rest of the Bengals' last game, Brown logged a 96% snap share and received 19 touches and an incredible 14 targets in the passing game. He has rediscovered himself with Joe Flacco at QB, and the Steelers have allowed the sixth-most receptions out of the backfield. Take the gift of this price tag and don't overthink it.

Other options - Josh Jacobs, Rico Dowdle, Jaylen Warren, Aaron Jones Sr.

DraftKings Wide Receivers - Week 11 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Ja'Marr Chase, CIN @ PIT ($8,500)

It's wild that Ja'Marr Chase is the THIRD-highest priced WR on the board this week. You could make the argument that he belongs there with the usage and efficiency that Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are showing, but getting Chase at a discount against the Steelers makes this a pretty easy call in DFS.

Chase has 62 targets through four Flacco starts, which is over half of the team's target share. The Steelers have allowed the most receptions, receiving yards, and FPPG to opposing WRs and have already been slapped around by this same Flacco-led offense. There's no reason to fade Chase in cash play, and he should be present in lots of GPPs as well.

VALUE PLAY

Parker Washington, JAX vs LAC ($5,100)

Parker Washington was (predictably) the top option in the Jacksonville passing with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter on the shelf, and his price tag has only risen $400 despite scoring two TDs. Washington had a 30.4% target share, and it looks like Dyami Brown is falling out of favor there.

The Chargers have allowed the second-fewest FPPG to opposing WRs, but their strength is basically on the perimeter. Washington ran more than half his routes out of the slot last week, which means he should avoid the stingiest area of L.A.'s defense. I'm playing him with confidence here.

Other options - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashee Rice, Wan'Dale Robinson, Romeo Doubs

 

DraftKings Tight Ends - Week 11 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Trey McBride, ARI vs SF ($6,300)

I keep writing up Trey McBride as the top TE, but I rarely ever play him in cash. That may have to change this week as the cheap end is dicey, and McBride is as steady a performer as there is at his respective position.

McBride leads all TEs in targets, air yards, receptions, and RZ targets, and has one dropped pass this year. The positive TD regression we were all hoping for has happened as well, as McBride is up to six TDs on the year already (second among TEs). Marvin Harrison Jr. is out for this one, so it's possible McBride's target share is even more elevated. He's still far too cheap for what he offers.

VALUE PLAY

Kyle Pitts Sr., ATL vs CAR ($4,000)

If you need the savings at TE, there's not much in the $3k range as of yet, but Kyle Pitts Sr. offers some nice upside at only $4k. Michael Penix Jr.'s passing style has benefited Pitts this year, and he's finally risen to the every-week TE1 status his fantasy managers were hoping for since they drafted him.

Pitts is fifth among TEs in targets and fourth in receptions, and the Panthers have allowed the fourth-most FPPG to opposing TEs. Even in what looks like a slow, low-scoring affair, the Falcons' passing game is concentrated enough around Pitts and Drake London to make the former a worthwhile TE value.

Other options - George Kittle, Oronde Gadsden II, Jonnu Smith

Top 5 Defenses For Cash Games

  1. Tennessee Titans ($2,300)
  2. Houston Texans ($3,700)

  5. Cleveland Browns ($2,400)
