I won’t lie to you guys, my DFS year has been extremely mediocre. Breaking even most weeks, some weeks like Week 10, total duds. But we are rolling along with the season, and with many season long fantasy teams out of the playoff race (like myself in the listener league) brings more ways to play fantasy football with DFS. Don’t just stop playing because your team is out of it! You can make a new fantasy team every week! We are on a strict time constraint this week once again, so sorry in advance for the shortened article, I wanted to make sure I at least give you guys some sort of picks heading into Week 11.
Mike Davis- $6800
What a jump from last week going from $4000 to $6800, hey DraftKings.. Let us have that $4000 back. Anyway, I love the matchup this week against Detroit, who gave up 7 receptions to JD McKissic, and two rushing touchdowns to Antonio Gibson. Both of them play behind that embarrassing Oline for Washington, whereas Carolina’s Oline is better and some would say that Mike Davis is the better RB. Detroit has given up the most fantasy points to RBs this season, and the 3nd most yards on the ground. The Lions also have given up the most yards through the air per game to running backs with 53.7 ypg. My play of the week for sure. Photo: Sports Illustrated
Nyheim Hines- $5200
Still the best running back on the roster through 11 weeks of the NFL season. He has led the team in YPC with 3.9, and is 3rd on the team in targets with 41. Hines has been sneaking into the top 12 RB tier week after week in 2020. We expect his production to continue, and possibly even increase with the great matchup versus Green Bay who have been horrid against running backs this season, allowing a NFL 3rd worst 24.2 fantasy points per game. Lock him into your lineup and appreciate value when you can.
Dalvin Cook- $9000
Stud of the week, going against the Dallas trash cans seems too easy. You're right, it's built into the price, but I'll bite and say that he has ANOTHER massive game this season. The price is steep, if you can afford him he may be worth your while.

Terry McLaurin-$6900
Scary Terry is flat out matchup proof, week in and week out he has shown it. Everyone including myself were fading Scary Terry because of QB play, schedule concerns, etc. to start the season. This kid can flat out ball! With a competent QB in Alex Smith, his true colors will shine bright and will continue to produce against a weak secondary in Cincinnati. Terry has yet to have a game with less than 7 targets this season. He is the number one option for a team that usually is playing from behind.

Keenan Allen- $7400
Volume, volume, volume, Turn that volume up when the Chargers are playing because Keenan Allen is a target machine. He had a rough week last week and I can envision him seeing less ownership because of it in Week 11. Allen and the Chargers face off against the New York Jokes I mean Jets this week, in what should be a field day for Keenan Allen and Justin Herbert.
Justin Jefferson/Adam Theilen- $6000/$6300
When teams play the Cowboys, you play the wide receivers, it is that simple. Even with the limited volume that this offense brings, Justin Jefferson and Adam Theilen are both great plays in my opinion for Week 11.
Dallas Goedert- $3800
Probably the most competent pass catcher in the Philly offense, for whatever that is worth. Dallas Goedert, in theory should get peppered plenty of targets in this outing versus the Cleveland Browns who are allowing an average of 252.2 yards per game through the air. Love me some Dallas Goedert this week even if it's just for minimal points.
Taysom Hill- $4800
How often do you get to spend so little on a QB? Never, unless he is usually listed as a TE. His rushing upside alone is worth the risk in Week 11. I could see the Saints rolling out a zone option read offense the entire game and not throw one pass (exaggeration). Floor is safe with his price, his ceiling is unknown, risk it for the biscuit.

Alex Smith- $5300
Comeback Kid Alex Smith is one of my favorite cheaper plays of the week at QB. He is coming off of a career high of 390 passing yards last week. You have to love the matchup with the Bengals who are just dreadful on defense in general.
Justin Herbert- $6800
If I will pay up at QB, it will be for Herbert the Pervert going against the Jets in Week 11. Seems too logical to stack him with our favorite player in Keenan Allen.
Some players I will have in my lineups for some variability:
Diontae Johnson $5900, Alvin Kamara $9200, Rex Burkhead $4600, Salvon Ahmed $4800, Will Fuller $6200, Deshawn Watson $6500****, Travis Fulgham $5600, Amari Cooper $5400, Logan Thomas $3300, Hayden Hurst $4400
