November 15, 2025

Koby's top NFL DFS lineup picks for DraftKings, FanDuel -- Lions vs. Eagles SNF slate for Week 11 Sunday Night Football (Nov. 16, 2025). His NFL daily fantasy sleeper picks.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! I can't believe we are already 11 weeks into the season. It feels like we just started the season not long ago. We are already talking playoffs, and for the two teams on deck. This could be one of the biggest games of the season. This could be a big game that we look back on if it comes down to these teams eyeing the No. 1 seed.

We get a great matchup for us on Sunday Night Football this week! The Detroit Lions (6-3) travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (7-2), who have won three straight. The Lions have had some ups and downs, but are coming off a blowout win over the Commanders just last week. Let's break it down and see who is going to be in the best spots for this matchup!

I will provide you with daily fantasy football picks on DraftKings and FanDuel for Sunday Night Football in Week 11 -- Lions vs. Eagles on November 16, 2025. These NFL DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks. 

MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jahmyr Gibbs - RB, $15.9K (DK), $18.9K (FD)

Gibbs has been electric this season and is coming off his best game of the season, where he finished with three total touchdowns and 172 all-purpose yards against the Commanders. He should be in a good spot here against the Eagles' run defense, which has given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. Specifically, TDs, they have given up the 10th-most rushing TDs and the fifth-most receiving TDs to RBs.

With Sam LaPorta out, that should increase Gibbs' stock in the red zone. The Lions have preferred to run the ball in the red zone 60% of the time. Gibbs takes the rushes 58% of the time, with Montgomery taking them 35% of the time. Gibbs has also seen a 13.5% red zone target share. Gibbs is probably in the best spot to perform once again for the Lions.

Jalen Hurts - QB, $15.6K (DK), $19.5K (FD)

This is probably going to be one of the best matchups Jalen Hurts gets all season. Out of everyone on the slate, Hurts is averaging the most fantasy points at 21 fantasy points per game. They are allowing the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing QBs, but it's the amount of TDs they have given up that makes this juicy.

The Lions have given up the fifth-most overall receiving TDs and the fourth-most rushing TDs to QBs. This Philly offense leans heavily on the run in the red zone at about 62.3%. Hurts even outrushes Saquon Barkley in the red zone this season. Hurts rushes the ball 47% of the time compared to Barkleys 43%. Hurts is in for a big game here against the Lions.

Other Captains/MVPs: Jared Goff, Saquon Barkley

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

DeVonta Smith - WR, $8.4K (DK), $8.8K (FD)

DeVonta Smith might be taking over as the WR1 in the offense. A.J. Brown had about two good games this season, and Smith is slowly seeing more targets than Brown has. Smith should have the better matchup with Amik Robertson lining up against him. Robertson has given up .31 fantasy points per route run this season. Smith has seen 42 targets across his last five appearances and is averaging over 12 fantasy points per game.

Like I mentioned with Hurts, the Lions are giving up the third-most receiving touchdowns against WRs this season. This should give them plenty of opportunity to make something happen here against the Lions. Last week, they struggled against the Packers, but that was a much tougher defense. Smith should be in line here for a big game.

Jameson Williams - WR, $7.6K (DK), $8.2K (FD)

It is about time Jameson Williams is seeing some more targets. The last two weeks have been big for him as he has racked up 13 targets and caught 10 of them for 185 receiving yards and two touchdowns. There have been weeks this year when he has seen three targets or fewer. It looks like the Lions are starting to get him more involved, and with LaPorta out for this one, that is one less option for Jared Goff to throw to.

He is getting a great matchup this week as he sees the majority of his work on the left side of the field. This should have him lining up against Adoree' Jackson for the most part, who is giving up .30 fantasy points per route run this season. If Williams can keep up the good work, he should continue to see quite a few targets going forward. With a good matchup like this one, I'm all over him in this matchup.

Other Flex Options: Dallas Goedert, Amon-Ra St. Brown

Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jake Elliott - K, $4.8K (DK), $6.6K (FD)

The Philadelphia Eagles play so tightly in their rotation that, outside of the main four guys, nobody else sees very many targets. Jahan Dotson is a decent option, but even he only saw one target last week. That being said, the cheapest guy who should garner some points is Jake Elliott. The Eagles have been known to go for it on fourth quite a bit, which can limit how many field goals he kicks. When he does, though, he has been making them, missing only two in the year.

Brock Wright - TE, $1.6K (DK), $2.2K (FD)

LaPorta is out for this one, and although Brock Wright is questionable. His ankle injury doesn't seem to be serious. Dan Campbell said he was going to have "sky-high" trust in him with LaPorta out. Wright has two touchdowns on the season. In the last five games Brock Wright has played without LaPorta, he has scored four touchdowns. He is by no means going to see a lot of targets, but the Lions love Wright in the endzone.

"He's one of the most dependable players we have on this team." -DC on Brock Wright pic.twitter.com/9VYi9NLA70

Wright is super cheap, and if he gets in the endzone, then that alone will pay off his hefty 2k salary. Don't expect to see more than three or so targets; we are banking big time on the touchdown opportunity the most.

Other Value Options: Jake Bates, Kalif Raymond
