Week 10 provided more clarity and also muddled up our rosters at the same time. Let’s see what Week 11 has to offer as we look forward to more high flying action.

For those who are new to daily fantasy and DraftKings, lets take a look at how to set your lineups and how to navigate through the app. When you open the app there will be a main page. On that main page there will be several sport options to choose from. The option will say “find a contest.”

Select NFL, then you will see three different game styles to choose from. Classic, tiers and Showdown Captain Mode. Which is a new game style DraftKings now offers. Where you can create your team from only one NFL game. What we want to select though is “Classic”.

This article covers how you can maximize your teams potential based on the “classic” game style. You will have a $50,000 salary cap and we will show you how to utilize that cap each and every week this season.

Once you select classic you will see four contests to choose from. They will tell you the times you have to submit your nine player rosters by, along with the date. You will also see what the “featured” contest is, this will have the word “featured” highlighted in yellow next to it.

After you select a “classic” contest you will see how many games you can choose from, along with entry fees and total prizes. Also, DraftKings will show you how many entries are left per game. After you select your game of choice you will be prompted to create a lineup.

We will be removing the flex featured player in this article. As titled this is high value plays and we want to showcase who the four best players are from each position each and every week based upon matchups and price. We will highlight when a player is “flex worthy”. We have covered a lot of flex worthy candidates and will always let you know how to utilize each player featured week to week.

Let’s recap how we did in Week 10 before we get into Week 11.

Andy Dalton had a horrible game at home in what should of been a good matchup for him. Maybe the fact that he is missing A.J. Green hurts more than what we all thought. James Conner was again a success on Thursday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers. Tyreek Hill lit up the scoreboard with two touchdowns and Greg Olsen had a decent PPR game but not great.

We will take the 2-2 prediction record and move on to Week 11.
