FanDuel Quarterback - Week 11 DFS Picks
Aaron Rodgers (at WAS, $9,100)
Rodgers has been one of the most active quarterbacks in the NFL over his last six games. Over that span, he’s averaging 45.8 pass attempts per game. He has performed well in each of his last four games, and he gets another decent matchup against the Redskins this week. This game is set at a 51 point total, and Green Bay is a small underdog, which means they’ll likely be throwing most of the game. Rodgers is one of the safer quarterbacks on the slate, and he can be used in all leagues.
Marcus Mariota (at IND, $8,000)
It’s tough to pay this much for Mariota, but he has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the NFL this season. This week, he gets a great matchup against the Colts, rank second last in the NFL in passing defense. Indianapolis is a -3.5 point favorite in this season, which is a set at a 53.5 point total. The only thing that has slowed Mariota down this season has been a lack of passing attempts, but that shouldn’t be a problem this week. He can be used in all leagues.
FanDuel Running Backs - Week 11 DFS Picks
David Johnson (at MIN, $8,300)
David Johnson has been enjoying an elite fantasy season, but he’s the fourth most expensive running back on this slate. That has to do with his matchup against a tough Minnesota defense. Johnson is a volume running back, though, and he’s the clear focal point of the Arizona offense. Minnesota also ranks 10th in the NFL in rushing defense, which isn’t equivalent to the price drop for Johnson. He is best suited for tournaments because of the matchup, but he’ll likely go overlooked this week, which makes him an elite GPP option.
LeGarrette Blount (at SF, $7,300)
Blount doesn’t have the receiving credentials of someone like David Johnson, but he does have the touchdown upside. He has scored at least one touchdown in eight of nine games this season, including three multi-touchdown games. He gets a great matchup against the 49ers, who rank last in the NFL in rushing defense. The Patriots are huge favorites, and they will likely be running out the clock for most of the second half. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Blount get his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season this week.
FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 11 DFS Picks
T.Y. Hilton (vs TEN, $7,900)
Hilton has been an extremely hit or miss fantasy player this season. He has three games with 20+ fantasy points this season, but he also has three games with less than 10 fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Titans, who have struggled to defend the pass this season. Hilton dominated them for 22.8 fantasy points in their only matchup this season, and he has the ability to post a huge line against them again this week. This game should be high scoring, and Hilton is a huge part of the Colts offense. He’s an elite tournament option.
Cameron Meredith (at NYG, $5,600)
It’s rare that you can get a number one wide receiver for this low of a price tag. He’ll be stepping in for Alshon Jeffery, who is out for the next few weeks due to a suspension. Meredith is a big-bodied receiver with good hands. He has flashed great upside, and he should see more than two targets this week, as he has seen in his last three games. He gets a decent matchup against the Giants, and Meredith is cheap enough to be used in all leagues.
FanDuel Tight End - Week 11 DFS Picks
Zach Miller (at NYG, $5,500)
Miller has had his ups and downs this season, but this could be the week that he dominates. Alshon Jeffery was recently suspended, which means Miller could see a few extra targets this week. He is a red zone threat for the Bears, and he gets a good matchup against the Giants. He also comes with a fairly low price tag, especially for the volume he is likely to see this week. He can be used in all leagues.
FanDuel Defense - Week 11 DFS Picks
Arizona Cardinals D/ST (at MIN, $5,100)
The Cardinals have a solid defense, and they get an elite matchup this week. They’ll play the Minnesota Vikings, who currently rank dead last in the NFL in offensive rank. This game is set at only 41 points, which is the lowest of the week. They have the ability to record multiple sacks and create turnovers. They aren’t very cheap, but they can safely be used in all leagues.
