Can the Buffalo Bills carry you to a GPP take-down in week 11? Take a look at some of my favorite plays on both platforms for this Sunday’s main slate of games for daily fantasy football.

Welcome to my main slate pick breakdown for NFL daily fantasy football week 11! I have outlined some of my favorite plays for the week. DraftKings or FanDuel, cash or GPP, these players could help win you some money this weekend. If you have any other fantasy questions or want personalized advice, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @ajf3524. Thank you for reading and best of luck to all in week 11!

Quarterbacks

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens vs HOU

Yes, Lamar Jackson is the highest priced quarterback on both DraftKings and FanDuel. But fade him at your own risk. Jackson is more than just a quarterback. He scores like a running back, with at least one rushing touchdown in each of his last four games. And yes, he can throw the ball, too.

In a matchup against another top-tier NFL quarterback in Deshaun Watson, week 11 should not be the week that Jackson slows down his incredible fantasy production. Houston is a bottom-10 defense against opposing fantasy football quarterbacks, so I expect another QB1 performance from Jackson in a battle of potential MVP candidates.

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints vs TB

After a magnificent performance in his return from a thumb injury, Drew Brees lacked high-end fantasy football production after the Saints bye against the Falcons. However, I anticipate week 11 to be more like his 373 yard, three touchdown game against Arizona.

The Buccaneers, like the Cardinals, are bottom two defenses against opposing fantasy football quarterbacks. With Michael Thomas in the midst of a career year, Jared Cook finally coming into his own at tight end and Alvin Kamara presumably 100% and getting back to his normal level of involvement in the passing game, I anticipate a big game from Brees and the Saints this week.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys vs DET

Believe it or not, Dak Prescott has been one of the more consistent quarterbacks in fantasy football this season. He has only one game without a touchdown. He also has totaled 20+ fantasy points in all but two games this season on both sites.

The Lions are a bottom five team against opposing fantasy football quarterbacks to this point on the season and the Cowboys will look to come out strong after a loss to the Vikings last week. Dak has taken care of business, fantasy-wise, against weaker opponents and I think the Cowboys will light up the Lions this week, leading to a big fantasy day for Dak and others.

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills vs MIA

Welcome back to another edition of load your lineup with players from the team that is playing the Miami Dolphins. While the Phins are on a miraculous two-game WIN streak, I think the Bills will sink them back underwater.

The two teams met just three weeks ago, with the Bills emerging victorious 31-21. Josh Allen had a very solid game, scoring just over 20 fantasy points on both sites. He did that without much production on the ground. Allen has ran for three touchdowns over his last two games, and I think his legs will help put him over the top this week against Miami.

Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals vs SF

Murray likely won’t be a popular play this week against the vaunted 49ers defense. But what happened the last time these two teams played just two weeks ago? Murray scored over 20 fantasy football points on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

While people may not realize Murray’s recent success against the Niners or may assume San Fran will make adjustments to shut him down this time around, this would be the perfect opportunity to get a dynamic player at a relatively low cost, very low ownership, and at a time where he really seems to be coming into his own.

After his solid game against the Niners, Murray went off against the Bucs last week for 300+ yards and three touchdowns. The Cardinals passing game is finding its stride, and while this is a tough matchup, Murray could come through for fantasy football owners.

Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders vs CIN

Similar to the Bills against the Dolphins, it’s hard to discourage someone from picking a player that is going against the Cincinnati Bengals. This week it is Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders. Cincy is a bottom three team against opposing fantasy football quarterbacks and Carr has been solid lately.

Carr has only one single digit fantasy football performance this season and has eight touchdowns in his last four games. While I don’t think he will necessarily blow the roof off, I do think Carr is a very solid fantasy option this week and has the potential to be a cheap, low-owned pivot for DFS lineups in week 11.
