Daily Fantasy Football Week 11 Picks: DraftKings tournament lineup, strategy, advice image

The Jordy-Dez-Kenny play at WR went gangbusters for our DraftKings tournament lineup last week, only be undone by the latest trip to the J.J. Nelson well at FLEX. We've topped 150 points in each of the past two weeks, but aim to hit 3.5X or even two hundo with our Week 11 daily fantasy football picks.

This week's strategy involves a Bills stack that will likely be underowned, plus a couple chalk plays and a few home-run swings. That's what GPPs are all about.

WEEK 11 DFS: DK cash lineup | FD tournament | FD cashValues | DFS lineup builder

QB: Tyrod Taylor, BUF at CIN ($5,600): Taylor's been a 3.5X machine, topping 21 DraftKings points in three of his past four games. These all came without Sammy Watkins, by the way. Taylor's elevating the remaining weapons, complementing his arm with 35-plus rush yards and a score in three straight weeks.

RB: LeGarrette Blount, NE at SF ($6,400): Blount's owned the goal line, and you'll need to bank on multiple scores to hit in GPPs. The 49ers did a decent job on David Johnson last week, yet they still allow the most points to opposing RBs. Blount should get fed with the Patriots hovering near 13-point favorites.

RB: Spencer Ware, KC vs. TB ($6,000): The Chiefs fell to a three-score deficit last week and Ware still got 16 touches. Look for that usage to expand as home favorites with Alex Smith struggling and Jeremy Maclin banged up. Hopefully three straight quiet weeks will depress ownership.

WEEK 11 RANKINGS
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

WR: Odell Beckham Jr., NYG vs. CHI ($8,500): Improvement to the receiving corps hasn't hurt share for Beckham. OBJ's turned the seventh-most targets among WRs over the past two weeks into the sixth-most PPR points, and that's without a catch longer than 26 yards.

WR: Dez Bryant, DAL vs. BAL ($7,200): Dez found efficiency with Dak Prescott on Sunday, reeling in six of nine targets and posting the fifth-highest WR points per opportunity for Week 10 (min. 50 percent snaps), per Pro Football Focus data. The ceiling rises for him each week at bargain price.

WR: Mike Wallace, BAL at DAL ($5,500): The Ravens have moved Wallace around the formation and will surely look to exploit an injury-riddled Cowboys defense on a shot play. Wallace ranks top 10 in yards per target and per reception among WRs to take 75-plus percent of snaps.

TE: Ladarius Green, PIT at CLE ($2,500): Green's first game back saw him take only 12 snaps but receive four targets from Ben Roethlisberger. Expect that usage to grow against the most fantasy-friendly defense for opposing tight ends. We saw what Witten did in Cleveland.

FLEX: Robert Woods, BUF at CIN ($4,900): Woods has emerged as the main target for a surprisingly decent pass defense. His 10-catch, 162-yard performance in Seattle should earn another week on the Tyrod gravy train.

DST: Lions vs. Jaguars ($3,200): We have loved running the Bortles fade. Give us Detroit against the QB a hair behind Ryan Fitzpatrick for the picks lead, especially if Darius Slay returns to potentially shadow Allen Robinson.
