As Week 11 of the NFL season heats up, this QB Coach breakdown will dive into some intriguing options for your DraftKings and FanDuel lineups, highlighted by Justin Herbert, Brock Purdy, and Joe Flacco, who have the potential for explosive performances, favorable game scripts, and salary considerations to help you optimize your rosters and chase those tournament-winning scores.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Top Tier Picks for Week 11

Josh Allen, QB Buffalo Bills (DK $7,000 / FD $9,000)

Allen is always a stud, and this week he's got a solid matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. The Bucs have been average at best in stopping quarterbacks, and Allen's dual-threat ability with his legs only adds to his fantasy upside. While the Bills may be struggling a bit when it comes to real-life football, Allen continues to produce when it comes to DFS. 

Lamar Jackson, QB Baltimore Ravens (DK $8,000 / FD $9,500)

Week 11 brings a nice matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have given up plenty of fantasy points to QBs this season, and while they boast an elite pass rush, that may be their undoing this week with Jackson’s ability to step up in the pocket when he feels pressure and gain big yardage with his legs. The Browns' secondary is not very good, meaning when Jackson does have time, he should have little trouble picking them apart.

Matthew Stafford, QB Los Angeles Rams (DK $6,600 / FD $7,900)

Stafford is rolling with the Rams' offense, and this week he's at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's defense isn't terrible against QBs, but Stafford has been unreal this season, throwing for 2,427 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only two interceptions with a  67% completion percentage. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams healthy, we could see a big number put on the board this weekend in a game with a 48.5 total.

Justin Herbert, QB Los Angeles Chargers (DK $6,300 / FD $8,200)

One of my highlighted guys, Justin Herbert, has big upside on the road versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Herbert's racked up 2,610 yards, 19 touchdowns this season as he continues to make plays despite the shaky offensive line play. Look for Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Orande Gadsden to make some plays this weekend with Herbert throwing the football.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Mid-Tier Picks for NFL Week 11

Caleb Williams, QB Chicago Bears (DK $5,900 / FD $7,700)

Williams is improving, and this week faces the Minnesota Vikings on the road. The Vikes aren't the easiest on QBs, but Williams has put together some strong fantasy performances of late, and his scrambling ability adds extra value.

Joe Flacco, QB Cincinnati Bengals (DK $5,500 / FD $7,800)

Flacco is heading to Pittsburgh for an AFC North showdown. The Steelers' pass defense and pass rush are pretty decent, but we should expect 40+ pass attempts from Flacco, who threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers back in Week 7.

Brock Purdy, QB San Francisco 49ers (DK $5,800 / FD $7,100)

Purdy is back as the 49ers' starting QB, with reports that the toe issue is no longer a problem. This week, he faces the Arizona Cardinals in his return. In just two games this season, Purdy has 586 yards, four TDs, four INTs, but from a fantasy point perspective, he’s gone for 23.7 and 18.8 in his two starts. He is expected to play without restrictions, and the 49ers offense is also healthy with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle all expected to be on the field.

 

 

 

NFL Week 11 DFS QB Value Picks

Jameis Winston, QB New York Giants (DK $4,600 / FD $6,300)

Pure dart throw here as Winston was announced as the starting QB with Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol. The Packers defense can obviously cause some problems given their elite pass rush but Winston is a “gunslinger” who loves to make plays downfield. At his price tag, he may only need a few connected deep balls and a touchdown to hit value.

Davis Mills, QB Houston Texans (DK $4,500 / FD $6,700)

I wrote up Mills last week, Bender included him in the Dart Board, and he did not let us down.  With Stroud once again ruled out, I say we go right back to the well with the Texans taking on the Titans this weekend. The Titans' pass defense is nothing special, and with the pass catchers in Houston all healthy, I think Mills can give us another quality performance.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Fades for Week 11

Jordan Love, QB Green Bay Packers (DK $6,000 / FD $7,400)

Love is a fade candidate on the road against the New York Giants. He just hasn’t been too impressive, and he’s expensive when it comes to recent performance compared to the other top QBs priced around him.  Love has been a big boom/bust play this season, with three games making up eight of his 13 touchdown passes this season, while he’s finished with 16 or fewer fantasy points in six of nine games this year.
