Week 11 DFS Picks: Best Game and Team Stacks

Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is in my player pool that weekend for DFS.

This article series covers exactly that.

Every week, I will go through the players I am targeting to play in DFS for all games, tournaments, and game stacks.

The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.

Week 11 DFS Content:

One of my favorite ways to play DFS from a tournament stance is small-field, single-to-five-max entry games with 5K or smaller fields.

Both sites even offer these games with fewer than 100 entries (albeit at a higher cost of entry) if you want to go after a small field.

In these contests, my approach is to go with full-game stacks.

You lose a lot of weeks, but if you get the game right, you gain a big advantage.

Cashing in one of these over an 18-week season can make your entire year.

With the reduced number of entries, you can also eat some chalky game stacks because we are going further in the overall game stack than our opponents likely will.

These are the games I am circling for those tournaments in Week 11, but you can also tie these games into your stacks for other tournaments.

I will analyze the player selections and game writeups, but for a detailed breakdown of the players and games, check out the Week 11 Worksheet.

Ravens at Steelers

This differs from your old-fashioned Baltimore versus Pittsburgh rivalry game set up to be a slugfest.

This one has the highest total (48.5 points) on the Sunday slate.

Baltimore games are 9-1 toward the over, the highest rate in the league.

Their games are averaging a league-high 57.1 combined points per game.

Baltimore games average 808.1 combined yards per game, the most in the league.

I did not write up Lamar Jackson ($8,000 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel) in the individual player columns, but he is in play for stacks surrounding this game.

Jackson has stacking partners in Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

The Baltimore run defense has been incredible, so we are honing in on the Pittsburgh passing game when playing through their side.

You can throw a cheap punt on Calvin Austin as part of a stack of Russell Wilson and George Pickens.

I do like Bateman as a bringback from Baltimore, but these angles are where you can add Derrick Henry to builds.

Pittsburgh is tied for third in only 15 touchdowns allowed this season, but running backs have scored 53.3% of those, the fourth-highest rate.
