NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 11 Daily Fantasy Football Picks

Skyler's NFL DFS stacks for FanDuel, DraftKings GPP tournaments and Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season. Target these GPP stacks for daily fantasy football lineups.

When taking a look at the main slate in NFL DFS for Week 11, it appears to be a fascinating slate where all of the teams projected for 25-plus points are at least five-point favorites. The Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Kansas City Chiefs all play in primetime games this week, which will somewhat limit our player pools.

In this weekly article, we'll be taking a look at stacks and bring-back options that are ideal plays in GPPs (guaranteed prize pools) on DraftKings and FanDuel. Salaries and scoring formats can differ on both sites, making some players much better options on one site compared to the other.

When looking at stacks and bring-back players each week, you have to take into account potential game scripts and correlation. Before the 11th week of the season, here are my favorite stacks and bring-back options in NFL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Houston Texans vs. Arizona Cardinals

• C.J. Stroud ($7,000 DK, $8,000 FD)
• Nico Collins ($6,700 DK, $7,200 FD)
• Tank Dell ($5,900 DK, $7,000 FD), Dalton Schultz ($5,000 DK, $6,800 FD), or Noah Brown ($4,800 DK, $6,100 FD)

C.J. Stroud is already stamping his name on the list of top quarterbacks in the NFL in his rookie season. Even in a tough matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 10, Stroud delivered with 356 passing yards and two touchdowns (one pass and one rushing). The rookie signal-caller has thrown for 300-plus yards and multiple touchdowns in three games this season. Besides the Houston Texans boasting a projected team total of 26.5 points (fourth-highest on the main slate), the Arizona Cardinals are 30th in pass defense DVOA. If the Texans begin allowing Stroud to throw more on early downs, he'll start to have even more ceiling outcomes.

Nico Collins was unable to suit up for the Texans in Week 10 due to a calf ailment. But if Collins returns in Week 11, he becomes an intriguing option as one of Stroud's preferred targets in a passing game that continues to improve each week. Before getting injured, Collins was seeing valuable targets down the field, evidenced by his 17.5 yards per reception and 2.75 air yards per route run. If Collins is forced to miss another game, then the other skill players receive a boost.

Since having a quiet output in Week 8 in his return from a one-game absence, Tank Dell has combined for 12 catches, 170 yards, and three touchdowns in the last two games. The rookie wideout leads all pass catchers on the Texans in air yards percentage (31.7%) and air yards per route run (3.45). Dalton Schultz has five or more targets in five consecutive games, and he has three touchdowns in that span. Only CeeDee Lamb has more receiving yards than Noah Brown (325 yards) in the last two weeks. Brown has likely earned himself a role moving forward given how he's performed with Collins and Robert Woods missing time recently.

Bring-back options:

• James Conner ($5,700 DK, $6,800 FD)
• Marquise Brown ($5,300 DK, $6,600 FD) or Trey McBride ($4,400 DK, $5,900 FD)

With Kyler Murray back operating the offense for the Cardinals, their offense now becomes watchable again. James Conner also returned for the Cardinals in Week 10 following a four-game stint on injured reserve. Even after a four-game absence, Conner immediately handled 16 of Arizona's 19 backfield carries. Despite Conner not seeing a single target in Week 10, he'll likely be more involved in the passing game moving forward, especially with the Cardinals being underdogs against the Texans.

Marquise Brown was inches away from having a noteworthy performance in Week 10 as Murray narrowly missed him on a deep touchdown pass. Murray and Brown should improve their rapport as the playmaking quarterback shakes off the rust coming off a season-ending knee injury. Trey McBride has become a true TE1 as he notched a career-best 131 receiving yards on eight receptions in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Texans also allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends in full-PPR formats.

Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears

• Jared Goff ($6,400 DK, $8,000 FD)
• Amon-Ra St. Brown ($8,300 DK, $8,600 FD)
• Jahmyr Gibbs ($7,000 DK, $8,400 FD) or Sam LaPorta ($5,700 DK, $6,500 FD)

We all know about the massive home/road splits that Jared Goff has, and the Detroit Lions are hosting the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Goff aired it out for 333 yards and two touchdowns on the road versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10, giving him three games this season where he's had 300-plus yards and multiple touchdowns. The Lions have the second-highest projected total (28.25) on the main slate and not all of those points are going to come from the rushing attack. The Bears are also a pass-funneling defense with the 29th-ranked pass defense DVOA and the sixth-best run defense DVOA.

Amon-Ra St. Brown remains one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL this season as he boasts the eighth-highest target share (31.1%) among all wide receivers. The versatile slot wideout has at least five catches and 50 receiving yards in each game this season. The only game where St. Brown had fewer than six receptions and fewer than 71 receiving yards was in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers when he suffered an abdominal injury. There aren't many — if any — receivers who possess a higher floor than St. Brown and his ceiling is always high in PPR formats.

Jahmyr Gibbs earned himself an expanded role with how he performed in David Montgomery's absence. We saw Gibbs and Montgomery both be viable in fantasy together in Week 10 as they rotated drives, and Gibbs now has five-plus targets in four straight appearances. The Bears have allowed the third-most receptions (60), the most receiving yards (615), and the most receiving touchdowns (5) to running backs this season. Sam LaPorta only has one game this season where he's seen fewer than five targets. While the Lions prefer to have Gibbs and Montgomery finish drives with rushing touchdowns in the red zone, Laporta is second on the team behind St. Brown in red-zone targets with seven.

Bring-back options:

• DJ Moore ($5,600 DK, $6,800 FD) or Cole Kmet ($4,100 DK, $5,600 FD)

Even with Justin Fields announced as the starter for the Bears in Week 11, I'm not going out of my way to use a bring-back player from Chicago. At the same time, we've seen the Lions get into shootouts this season due to injuries in their secondary. The only two pass catchers worth mentioning are DJ Moore and Cole Kmet. Moore leads the Bears with a 24.7% target share, but he hasn't had more than 60 receiving yards or a touchdown since Week 5 versus the Washington Commanders. While Kmet totaled 21 receptions, 179 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in the last three weeks with Tyson Bagent, hopefully his production will be similar upon Fields making his return.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Brock Purdy ($5,800 DK, $7,500 FD)
• Brandon Aiyuk ($7,200 DK, $7,800 FD)
• Deebo Samuel ($6,300 DK, $7,100 FD) or George Kittle ($6,400 DK, $7,000 FD)

It was quite the bounce-back outing from the San Francisco 49ers in their Week 10 blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The defense held the Jaguars to only three points in Chase Young's debut since being acquired at the trade deadline. Brock Purdy and the offense also helped put up 34 points as he had 296 passing yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers have the third-highest projected total on the main slate (26.75) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have always been more of a pass-funneling defense under Todd Bowles. Outside of last week's dud from Will Levis, the Buccaneers have allowed the opposing quarterback to throw for at least 320 yards and multiple touchdowns in three of their last four games.

Brandon Aiyuk has emerged as the true No. 1 receiver for the 49ers this season. Aiyuk owns a healthy 26.4% target share and his 3.98 air yards per route run leads the league among all pass catchers who have 55 or more targets. Even though Aiyuk has seen the fourth-most red-zone targets on the 49ers, he can hit on multiple explosive plays this week. The Buccaneers have given up 38 explosive passing plays (20-plus yards) this season, which is tied for the third-most in the NFL.

Deebo Samuel made his return in Week 10 after a two-game absence and turned seven total opportunities into 59 yards and a score. Outside of Christian McCaffrey, Samuel has the biggest red-zone role in a 49ers offense that is seemingly firing on all cylinders out of the bye week. Speaking of McCaffrey, he's certainly viable to stack with Purdy if you can figure out a way to afford him. George Kittle's role fluctuates from week to week, but his ceiling is always among the best at the tight end position.

Bring-back options:

• Mike Evans ($7,400 DK, $7,700 FD)
• Chris Godwin ($6,600 DK, $6,500 FD) or Cade Otton ($3,400 DK, $4,900 FD)

There aren't many cheap ways to stack this game, with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both being somewhat expensive on both sites. That being said, the Buccaneers are expected to be playing from behind, and Baker Mayfield has shown he can be good enough to make both of them relevant in fantasy. The 49ers are also allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Evans is the preferred option due to his touchdown upside and he's had six-plus targets in four of his last five games.

Godwin isn't getting the same valuable deep targets as Evans, and he has just one touchdown this season. Given his usage, Godwin is a better play on DraftKings than FanDuel as he isn't as reliant on a touchdown to get home. Rachaad White is worth mentioning as he's been extremely productive in recent weeks and the 49ers have the 21st-ranked run defense DVOA. White will likely need to remain heavily involved in the passing game to make him worth rostering. Cade Otton is a salary-relief option and he's tallied at least six targets in three of his last four games.
