FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 11 - Daily Fantasy Football

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NFL DFS lineup picks for Week 11 of the 2019 season, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

It's Week 11, and FanDuel has 11 games on the 1 pm (eastern) "main slate" to close out the weekend. Our target games on Sunday include Dallas at Detroit, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, and Atlanta at Carolina, with each of these games expected to have at least 51 combined points, especially since they will be played in favorable climates (dome included). As far as injuries are concerned, Christian McCaffrey, Amari Cooper, Josh Jacobs, Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, George Kittle, Le'Veon Bell, T.Y. Hilton, Adam Thielen, Emmanuel Sanders, Austin Hooper, A.J. Green, Matt Breida, Adrian Peterson, Devonta Freeman, Marquise Brown, Ty Johnson, Robby Anderson, Jack Doyle, Parris Campbell, and Alex Erickson are all topping the list of those who have already been ruled out, or are in danger of not playing. Monitor these guys throughout the week.

In this article, I will be providing you with daily fantasy football picks in FanDuel for November 17, 2019 (Week 11). These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. Be sure to also consult the NFL Depth Charts and Snap Counts for more critical information this week.

FanDuel DFS Quarterbacks - Week 11 Picks

Drew Brees - QB, @ TB ($8,300)

Brees has made a living out of making the Bucs look stupid. Throughout 27 meetings with Tampa Bay throughout his hall of fame career, the veteran has amassed 7,638 yards, 52 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions to go along with an adequate 68.3 completion percentage. He didn't play well by any stretch against the Falcons, but look for him to bounce back in Week 11.

Jimmy Garoppolo - QB, vs. ARI ($8,000)

Garoppolo is costly considering the price of Drew Brees, who is only $300 more, but what you are really paying for is the matchup. The Cardinals have been hideous against opposing signal-callers this season, allowing a league-worst 24.47 fantasy points per game. Jimmy G was solid against Arizona, his Week 11 opponent, a few weeks ago, ending with 317 yards and four scores on 28-for-27 passing for a whopping 28.88 fantasy points.

Also Consider: Lamar Jackson ($8,800), Deshaun Watson ($8,200),

FanDuel DFS Running Backs - Week 11 Picks

Dalvin Cook - RB, vs. DEN ($8,600)

Cook has arguably been the most impactful running back this season, and even if you consider Christian McCaffrey the top dog, everyone can agree that he is a close second. On Sunday night against the Cowboys, the 24-year-old produced 97 yards and a touchdown on 26 attempts, while also catching all seven of his targets for 86 yards. McCaffrey has been banged up as of late, and you can save yourself nearly $2,000 to get almost the same results against a middle-of-the-pack defensive team like the Broncos. Cook's stock will also rise if Adam Thielen, who wasn't available against Dallas with a hamstring issue, is out, which will open the door for more looks from Kirk Cousins.

Josh Jacobs - RB, @ vs. CIN ($8,000) 

Jacobs practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday with a hurt shoulder. He has been dealing with the same issue for the past few weeks, but he was able to play against the Chargers to finish with 17.6 fantasy points. The Bengals may go without a win this season, and though the team isn't great offensively, things haven't looked good on the defensive side either.

Also Consider: Ezekiel Elliott ($8,400), Leonard Fournette ($7,200),  Tevin Coleman ($6,700), Joe Mixon ($6,600), Devin Singletary ($6,500), Brian Hill ($5,900), Derrius Guice ($4,700)

FanDuel DFS Wide Receivers - Week 11 Picks

Michael Thomas - WR, @ TB ($9,000)

Thomas has at least 21.7 fantasy points in each of his last two games in addition to receiving at least 11 targets over his previous five games. We know how bad the Buccaneers are at defending the pass, so all of the ingredients are there for a solid showing from the veteran on Sunday. It will cost you quite a bit to acquire his services, but it will be worth it by the time everything is said and done.

Chris Godwin - WR, vs. NO ($8,000)

Mike Evans will also be involved in this one, but after he failed to produce a single fantasy point against the Saints back in Week 5, it is easy to be a little apprehensive for obvious reasons. Godwin, on the other hand, was effective in the first meeting of the season with New Orleans and had 28 fantasy points off of seven catches that resulted in 125 yards and two touchdowns. Evans likely won't be held scoreless again by any means, but Godwin should get some production after struggling in his last three outings.

Also Consider: Julio Jones ($7,800), Amari Cooper ($8,100), Michael Gallup ($6,700), John Brown ($5,900), Tyler Boyd ($5,900), Mohamed Sanu ($5,800), Deebo Samuel ($5,600), Cole Beasley ($5,500)

FanDuel DFS Tight Ends - Week 11 Picks

Jared Cook - TE, @ TB ($6,000)

Cook made his return against Atlanta after working his way back from an ankle injury and played in 70 percent of the plays on the offensive end. While he didn't find the end zone after getting there in his previous two before the injury, he was still targeted 10 times on the day. Arizona leads the league with the most points given up to the tight end position in 2019, but Tampa is a close second, giving the veteran a high ceiling in Week 11.

Also Consider: Darren Waller ($6,700), Eric Ebron ($5,200), Tyler Eifert ($5,000), Ross Dwelley ($4,900), Kyle Rudolph ($4,500)

FanDuel DFS Defenses - Week 11 Picks

Raiders Defense - DEF, vs. CIN ($5,000)

Oakland has produced some of the most effective defensive performances over the last two weeks, accumulating seven sacks, four picks, and a touchdown during that span. The Bengals aren't good, and after rookie quarterback Ryan Finley made two costly errors that produced scores against the Ravens last Sunday, the Raiders are looking good in Week 11.

Also Consider: Bills Defense ($5,000), 49ers Defense ($4,900), Jets Defense ($4,500), Dolphins Defense ($3,600)
