Week 11 DraftKings DFS GPP Plays
Quarterback Plays
Lamar Jackson, Ravens $8,000
The Ravens/Steelers have the highest Vegas total on the slate, yet the DFS Hero Optimizer projects Jackson’s ownership under 3%. He has scored 22.9 plus points in 9 of his 10 games, which makes him a play.
Brock Purdy, 49ers $6,600
We can pencil Purdy in for at least 275 yards passing and 2 touchdowns. He should be a lock to surpass 20 fantasy points.
Russell Wilson, Steelers $5,900
The Ravens have the worst pass defense and the best run defense. As mentioned, this game has the highest game total, so I would expect Wilson to throw 40 or more throws. Plus, we have a great stack option that I will discuss later.
Geno Smith, Seahawks $5,700
I think Smith throws for at least 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. He has all his receivers healthy for the first time in weeks. Plus, he can get a few points with his feet.
DFS Hero Top Two Valued QB Plays
- Brock Purdy, 49ers $6,600
 - Jameis Winston, Browns $5,500
 
Running Back Plays
Christian McCaffrey, 49ers $8,300
CMC Scored over 16 fantasy points in his first game of the season. He didn’t even score a touchdown. I think he is lock to score this week and would be the first player I would pick to score 2.
Bijan Robinson, Falcons $7,800
Robinson has had 20-plus touches and fantasy points in four straight games. I think he will be a focal point in the passing game, as I don’t think the Falcon receivers are good enough against the Bronco secondary. Plus, statue QB Kirk Cousins is going to have to dump the ball quickly vs. a big Bronco pass rush.
De’Von Achane, Dolphins $7,200
Achane is maybe my favorite back on the slate. I think he is grossly underpriced and should explode against a bad Raider defense. For reference, Bengal’s Chase Brown scored 29.7 points against this defense, so the sky is the limit for Achane.
David Montgomery, Lions $6,500
Montgomery hasn’t been a DFS factor in several weeks but has had some bad matchups. Look for him to get a ton of carries with a big lead vs. the Jaguars. Also, you can play him for an anytime touchdown if you partake in any player props.
DFS Hero Optimizer Top Two Valued RB Plays
- Alvin Kamara, Saints $8,200
 - Christian McCaffrey, 49ers $8,300
 
Wide Receiver Plays
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions $8,000
I think St. Brown is a lock to score at home. Look for 8 catches for 100 yards and a score.
Puka Nacua, Rams $7,300
DrRoto fantasy expert James Pasky, AKA HeatOverride, says Puka will be “Nuclear’ this week. If that isn’t enough, the DFS Hero Optimizer projects that he will be the third-highest-scoring receiver on the slate.
George Pickens, Steelers $7,000
The Ravens’ pass defense is the worst in the NFL. Pickens should be priced at 8K plus and should score here. He is a must-stack option in Russell Wilson lineups.
Courtland Sutton, Broncos $5,900
Sutton has 19 plus points in three straight games. The emergence of QB Bo Nix has made Sutton a DFS darling at his price point.
Cedric Tillman, Browns $5,300
Tillman is Jameis Winston’s favorite target. He also has scored over 18 fantasy points in three straight games. The Saint’s secondary isn’t once it was with CB Marshon Lattimore being traded.
Devaughn Vele, Broncos $3,900
Normally I wouldn’t want to chase points, but Vele is on the field more and I think he can open in the Falcon zone defense. Every once in a while, you see a rookie receiver finally take off mid-season, but he doesn’t need to. I will take 5 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown.
DFS Hero Optimizer Top Two Valued WR Plays
- Cedric Tillman, Browns $5,300
 - Khalil Shakir, Bills $6,300
 
Tight End Plays
Travis Kelce Chiefs $6,300
It is a tough matchup for Kelce, but he has been dominant for a month now. The DFS Hero Optimizer also projects him as the most valued tight end.
Evan Engram, Jaguars $5,200
I expect the Jaguars to play from behind most of the game. Engram should get 10 targets and have an outside shot to lead all tight ends in scoring.
T.J. Hockenson, Vikings $4,700
Teams are double-covering WR Justin Jefferson and must deal with WR Jordan Addison. This creates openings in the flat and in the middle of the field. Hock was QB Sam Darnold’s favorite target last week and could again here. Plus, Hock is about $800 underpriced.
Hunter Henry, Patriots $3,900
The Rams flat-out stink vs. the tight end. I think Henry can score and break 15 points.
Jonnu Smith, Dolphins $3,800
Smith is in the same situation as Henry vs. the Raiders.
Davis Allen, Rams $2,500
Allen is the number one tight end on the Ram’s depth chart. He had 5 catches for 34 yards and is a solid punt tight end at min-price. If he scores, he is the player you will need to win a tournament.
DFS Hero Optimizer Top Two Valued TE Plays
- Travis Kelce Chiefs $6,300
 - Evan Engram, Jaguars $5,200
