NFL DFS Week 11 WR Coach for Fanduel & DraftKings Fantasy

There’s a lot of intriguing matchups on the board this week, and as you’ll read below, numerous guys in the upper pricing tiers caught my eye this week. It feels like I have a champagne taste but a beer budget in Week 11! After sifting through the data and crunching the numbers, I’ve identified my favorite plays at the position this week, and there should be a receiver or two at every price point to give you plenty of options when building your NFL DFS lineups this week, headlined by Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals.

NFL Week 11 Wide Receivers

Quick notes on the slate:

This is a living, breathing resource, and it will be updated as the week goes on, based on injury news, practice reports, etc. By Sunday, you may see some players removed who were earlier featured, or perhaps some players added as we approach Sunday kickoff.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Top Tier Picks for Week 11

Drake London, Atlanta Falcons - DraftKings: $7,400 | FanDuel: $8,400

Carolina has allowed the fourth-most yards per route run and 10th-most yards per game to the slot this season, but interestingly enough, London hardly went into the slot in the team’s Week 3 game against the Panthers. Only 17.9% of his routes came from the slot in that one, per FantasyPoints, but he’s been at 27+% the past two weeks, posting a 9.9 average depth of target (aDOT), 2.38 yards per route run, and 1.05 fantasy points per route run, per FantasyPoints. Furthermore, the Panthers LOVE to sit in zone, and London has been a force against zone coverage in 2025, posting 3.63 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks - DraftKings: $8,900 | FanDuel: $9,700

There’s not much to be said about JSN, as he’s been flat out dominant this season. This Rams defense is quite good, but Smith-Njigba profiles well against L.A.’s Cover 3 heavy scheme. The Rams play Cover 3 at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL, and against Cover 3 this season, JSN has posted 3.39 yards per route run, 14.11 yards per reception, a 39.6% first read rate, and the fifth-most fantasy points per route run amongst WRs with at least 50 routes run versus Cover 3, per FantasyPoints.

Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $8,500 | FanDuel: $9,400

Tee Higgins’ numbers actually line up better going against this Pittsburgh defense, but the volume has been insane for Chase since Joe Flacco joined the Bengals. Chase had 23 targets earlier this year against the Steelers, catching 16 of those balls for 161 yards and a touchdown. No team has allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season than the Steelers, and Chase’s dominance out of the slot shouldn’t go without mention, as the Steelers have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers in 2025, per FantasyPoints.

Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DraftKings: $7,200 | FanDuel: $7,900

A healthy Egbuka is going to dominate targets and serve as the most trusted option for Baker Mayfield through the air. After the team’s Week 9 bye, Egbuka handled 13 targets against the Patriots, catching six of those balls for 115 yards and his first touchdown since early October. Egbuka’s 2.88 yards per route run against two-high safeties is encouraging for this matchup, as Buffalo loves to utilize that shell, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this total gets into the fifties by kickoff, especially if Buffalo doesn’t get healthier on defense.

Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings - DraftKings: $7,500 | FanDuel: $8,600

The raw numbers haven’t been there for Jefferson with McCarthy under center, but the team has made a bit of an effort to get Jefferson more run out of the slot in recent weeks, and that should be beneficial for this matchup. The Bears have been putrid in slot coverage this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers, per FantasyPoints. Jefferson has a solid 1.90 yards per route run and 14.6 yards per reception out of the slot, so it would behoove them to continue this trend of getting him in the slot. Not sure I’m going here in cash, but in GPPs, I like looking at Jefferson in this game.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Mid-Tier Picks for NFL Week 11

Nico Collins, Houston Texans - DraftKings: $6,700 | FanDuel: $8,300

UPDATE: It will be Davis Mills under center instead of C.J. Stroud in Week 11 for Houston. Collins was peppered with targets from Mills last week, so we press forward confidently with Nico!

Will it be Davis Mills or C.J. Stroud under center in Week 11? That is the question, but either way, I love this spot for Collins. The Titans have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the last four weeks, and for the entire season, they’ve allowed the second-most yards per route run and sixth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter pass-catchers. Collins has 2.47 yards per route run on the perimeter this year, and he’s Houston’s biggest weapon against zone coverage (0.28 targets per route run, 2.16 yards per route run). The price on DraftKings feels a bit low.

Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens - DraftKings: $6,400 | FanDuel: $7,100

This feels like a Flowers spike week. He had seven catches on 11 targets for 75 yards earlier this season against Cleveland, and the Browns’ reliance on man coverage and single-high safety looks plays really, really well for Flowers.

  • Flowers vs. Man Coverage in 2025: 0.28 targets per route run, 2.71 yards per route run
  • Flowers vs. Single-High Looks in 2025: 0.29 targets per route run, 2.96 yards per route run

Love this spot for Flowers, who has averaged 14.0 fantasy points per game in Lamar Jackson’s six starts on the season.

Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears - DraftKings: $6,200 | FanDuel: $7,200

He found the end zone last week, which was his first touchdown in over one month, and he saw 10 targets for the second time in his last three. Minnesota has struggled with perimeter receivers this season, allowing the most yards per route run, per FantasyPoints, and overall, they have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to receivers over the last four weeks. No team plays more two-high safety looks than the Vikings, and guess who leads the Bears in fantasy points per route run against two-high safety looks? If you guessed Odunze (0.45), you’d be right!

Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - DraftKings: $5,000 | FanDuel: $6,600

The Jags have allowed the third-most yards and fantasy points per game to perimeter pass-catchers, and Johnston is Los Angeles’ primary boundary weapon. He’s handled 6+ targets in three of his last four, and this feels like a game where Justin Herbert gets 40+ pass attempts. Do what you will with Pro Football Focus’ grades, but Newsome is the 98th corner (out of 112) in coverage. I like Ladd McConkey a lot as well, but Johnston’s blend of size and speed can give this defense fits, much like we saw last week with Nico Collins.

 

 

 

NFL Week 11 DFS WR Value Picks

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $4,400 | FanDuel: $5,800

Watson has a 25.8 aDOT through three games, alongside a quality 2.29 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints. Nearly 70% of his routes are coming out wide, and he’s the team’s unquestioned deep threat. The Giants have allowed the fifth-most yards this season on passes 20+ yards downfield, not to mention the 11th-highest passer rating, and tied for the fourth-most receptions, per FantasyPoints. Watson is hauling in one or two deep balls in this game, and the hope is that at least one goes for a touchdown. Great matchup against this Giants team that has allowed the sixth-most yards per game to the perimeter this season.

Calvin Austin, Pittsburgh Steelers - DraftKings: $4,000 | FanDuel: $5,700

It’s hard to be overly excited about this, but slot receivers against Cincinnati have treated us well this season, so why not take a chance here? Over the last three weeks, Austin has led the Steelers in targets per game and first read rate, per FantasyPoints, and the Bengals have allowed the fourth-most yards per game and most yards per route run to the slot in 2025. Of the 33 corners/safeties who have played at least 100 slot coverage snaps this season, Dax Hill is tied for the most receptions allowed (34), third-most yards (311), seventh-most yards per coverage snap (1.54), and seventh-highest passer rating when targeted (113.6), per Pro Football Focus.

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals - DraftKings: $3,800 | FanDuel: $5,500

UPDATE: Marvin Harrison is OUT. This should result in at least a couple of extra targets for Wilson in this game.

I’m intrigued by Wilson acting as a “big slot” in this matchup against the 49ers. In four games with Jacoby Brissett, he’s posted a modest 1.32 yards per route run out of the slot, but a much more appetizing 12.4 yards per reception and 118.5 passer rating when targeted, per FantasyPoints. His percentage of snaps from the slot has been at least 41 percent in all four games with Brissett, a mark he hit just twice in the first five games of the season, per Pro Football Focus. The 49ers have allowed the most fantasy points per game to slot receivers this season, and while the breakout game hasn’t happened yet, he does have at least three receptions and 34 yards in each game with Brissett, while the offense as a whole has the fifth-highest pass rate over expectation during this four-week run.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Fade for Week 11

Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos - DraftKings: $5,900 | FanDuel: $6,800

Sutton has had some strong games in the past against Kansas City, but I’m skeptical in this one. The Chiefs are allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, and their frequent utilization of two-high safety looks doesn’t bode well for Sutton. Against two-high safeties this year, Sutton sits at 1.47 yards per route run, and his 0.16 targets per route run is actually lower than Troy Franklin, Evan Engram, and Marvin Mims, per FantasyPoints. Furthermore, despite a strong 11:2 TD/INT ratio for quarterback Bo Nix against these looks, his 5.16 yards per attempt is the second-lowest amongst the 30 quarterbacks who have at least 100 dropbacks against two-high safety looks! Far better options than Sutton this week.

NFL Week 11 WR Play of The Week

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $6,000 | FanDuel: $7,300

As mentioned in the Ja'Marr Chase write-up, from a numbers standpoint, this game plays out really well for Higgins. The Steelers have allowed the most fantasy points on the year to opposing wideouts, not to mention the second-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers, and the most receiving yards per game to perimeter pass-catchers, per FantasyPoints. Furthermore, Higgins has been Cincy’s best receiver this season against man coverage (2.31 yards per route run) and he’s been very productive against single-high safety looks (2.12 yards per route run), both of which are heavily utilized by Pittsburgh’s defense, per FantasyPoints. In the earlier game this season against the Steelers, Chase had 23 targets, but Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. Since Flacco became the QB for the Bengals, Chase is the WR2 on the season, but Higgins comes in as the WR5 (19.3 fantasy points per game). Love the price points for Higgins this week on both sites.
