NFL DFS Example Lineups: Week 11

Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for NFL Week 11!

And away we go again, #FANation! Be sure to give another read of the intro for the Playbook as I outline a number of points regarding lineup construction today and where we want to go. There's a ton of value available again at the running back position and while we want to take advantage of it, I don't think we need to be glued to it like last week. We should definitely have some shares, but with so many high-end guys having strong match-ups, you're probably going to want to get a piece here and there. For building strong cash game lineups, that is. And yes, consider your cash game lineups for GPP contests as well. No one says you have to lock into stacks to win a GPP and over the past few weeks, my cash game builds have played very well in the GPP area.

Keep an eye on some injuries and ins and outs for today. See below for all the updates, but there is a good chance we don't see Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson under center and that, obviously has a heavy trickle-down effect on the other skill players. Yes, that was me making fun of all you Rashod Bateman truthers when I heard the Jackson news. I'll never get past how fans of a team or a particular player get when you don't rank their favorite high enough. Unreal. Stop the homerism, people. It's not a good look.

Watch the weather. We've got rain likely during the HOU/TEN game, rain with 15mph wins during the IND/BUF game and rain with 10-15 mph wins in the DET/CLE game. That could help with the defenses we want to use, but the skill players might need to be avoided.

One final note – while neither DK Metcalf nor Tyler Lockett are in the Playbook, I have them listed as part of a Seattle stack below. I am going to show you in the Example Lineups a Seahawks stack that I like and will be using in GPP tournaments. Once again, I just feel like everyone is underestimating Russell Wilson at home which is a big mistake. Just want there to be full disclosure so that when I win the million, you all don't piss and moan that I built a lineup outside of the Playbook.

Just a few notes here about the lineups below...

The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. But it's rare when that happens.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

GPP STACKS:

As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.
