DraftKings Week 11 picks: Quarterbacks
C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans, $7,000
At this salary, C.J. Stroud remains a DraftKings value play due to the massive potential for scoring fantasy points facing the Cardinals. Arizona currently gives up the fifth-most DraftKings points to opposing QBs.
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions, $6,600
In Week 11, Goff is a great DFS start playing at home against Chicago. Expect another 300-plus passing-yard game and multiple TDs from Goff facing a Bears defense that has allowed 20 passing TDs — the second-most in the NFL.
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals, $6,100
Even cheaper, Kyler Murray is an excellent bargain play in DraftKings for Week 11. The Cardinals head to Houston to face a team that has yielded the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Murray, who was slick as grease last week, is primed to thrive.
Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers, $5,800
With ultra savings in salary to be had, start Purdy in your DFS lineups in Week 11 and watch the fantasy points pour in! The 49ers play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who sport the league’s second-worst passing defense. The upside here is huge.

DraftKings Week 11 picks: Running Backs
David Montgomery, Detroit Lions, $6,500
As the 11th-highest-priced RB in DraftKings, fire up Monty against the Bears. The Lions’ run game has been on fire and Montgomery should be able to cash with the Bears yielding 23.4 DraftKings fantasy points per game to RBs.
Breece Hall, New York Jets, $6,400
Breece Hall makes for a good value play in DraftKings for Week 11 playing the Bills. In Week 1, Hall torched the Buffalo defense for a total of 147 yards. And it was just last week against Buffalo that Javonte Williams racked up 110 combined yards and scored a TD. This is a solid fantasy matchup for Hall.
Devin Singletary, Houston Texans, $5,300
If Singletary draws the start, he’s got a cake DFS matchup against the Cardinals in Week 11. The Cardinals have yielded the third-most DraftKings fantasy points to running backs thus far. This includes 14 total TDs.
Chris Rodriguez, Washington Commanders, $4,000
A sleeper value play in DraftKings for Week 11 is Rodriguez with Antonio Gibson (toe) doubtful to play. Rodriguez should see a big bump in touches behind Brian Robinson, and a showdown with a bumbling Giants team at home should provide for plenty of garbage time. The Commanders should have no issue taking over a huge lead early on Sunday.

DraftKings Week 11 picks: Wide Receivers
Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders, $7,900
Those who want a stud WR for Week 11, should target Adams. Priced sixth-highest, Adams is a value play facing a Miami defense that has given up 38.2 DraftKings WR points on average per game. We should see Vegas attempting a gazillion passes with plenty of targets to Adams to keep pace with the Dolphins.
D.J. Moore, Chicago Bears, $5,600
Moore stands to benefit massively with Justin Fields returning in Week 11. At this salary, Moore is an excellent DraftKings play when the Bears will likely have to perform pass-heavy to keep up with a smoking-hot Detroit offense.
Tank Dell, Houston Texans, $5,900
Dell is priced just too cheaply to ignore in DraftKings in Week 11. He is a smart play coming from two great weeks of fantasy production squaring off against the Cardinals, whose defense offers a very favorable matchup to C.J. Stroud.
Brandin Cooks, Dallas Cowboys, $4,700
At this salary, Cooks makes for a sneaky DraftKings value play, coming from a 173-yard one-TD contest in Week 10. If Dallas gains the upper hand against the struggling Panthers, Cooks could be cruising with some nice garbage time fantasy points.
Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers, $4,000
Reed just had his second-best fantasy performance, and he could be primed to repeat playing the Chargers in Week 11. The Chargers’ secondary is weak, and the team has yielded 41 fantasy points in DraftKings to its opposing WRs. Reed is a DFS value play if he and Love sync up again.

DraftKings Week 11 picks: Tight Ends
Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills, $4,900
Kincaid has consistently produced over his last four games, making him a TE value play in DraftKings for Week 11. Buffalo hosts the Jets, who have yielded the 11th-most TE fantasy points in DraftKings.
Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals, $4,400
As Kyler Murray’s favorite target, McBride is a top DFS play in Week 11 in Houston. The Texans have given away 16 TE fantasy points per game in DraftKings, which is tied for the most in the league.
Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears, $4,100
Kmet has been thriving as of late, making him a cheap spend in DFS Week 11 lineups. He’ll play in Detroit against a Lions defense that has yielded the 11th-most TE fantasy points. The return of Justin Fields sweetens this deal even more.
Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers, $3,600
Simply stated, Musgrave has a Week 11 matchup against the Chargers, who have allowed the third-most TE fantasy points. Musgrave has been productive after recording 115 yards and one TD over his last two games. This upside on the cheap is hard to ignore.

DraftKings overrated plays Week 11
Quarterbacks:
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills, $8,200
After committing three turnovers in a dismal fantasy performance in Week 10, Josh Allen is overrated entering Week 11 as the most expensive DraftKings QB. Allen plays the New York Jets, a team that he faced in Week 1 when he recorded his worst fantasy stats on the season. Eeek!
Running Backs:
Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers
CMC is usually a slam dunk start, no matter the cost. However, $9,300 is a scary amount to start McCaffrey at in DraftKings in Week 11. Sadly, he’s overrated facing a Buccaneers defense that has given up the second-fewest DK points to running backs. Poor Derrick Henry netted only 20 total yards on 12 touches last week against Tampa Bay.
Wide Receivers:
Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams, $8,100
For a guy who has only scored a total of 19.8 DraftKings points in his last three games, Cooper Kupp is an overrated DFS play for Week 11. While the Rams host a middling Seattle defense, it’s just too risky to spend this much when there are other fantasy wideouts who could outperform Kupp for much less salary.
Tight Ends:
George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers
Kittle is not an awful play in Week 11 facing the Bucs, but there is DraftKings salary to be saved by going with a value option at TE. For what it’s worth, the Buccaneers have only allowed two tight end TDs all year. This is where Kittle could fall short.
