Week 10 was a nasty week in football, there’s no doubt about it. We hope for a recovery in Week 11, and in my weekly prop plays article, I’ll break down 5 DraftKings player prop bets that should hit and start your week off right. For any additional prop bet questions, be sure to follow me on X @LobosFFDen.
Week 11 DraftKings Prop Plays
Russell Wilson 225.5 passing yards (-115)
Russ has cooked up more than 225 passing yards in two of his three starts with Pittsburgh, and this weekend should be the third. In a divisional matchup vs. the Ravens, Russ should keep cooking his production, as the Ravens come in allowing the most passing yards to opposing QBs (3,147). This game might end up being a shootout, and Russell Wilson and that Pittsburgh Offense should be in for a game.
Expected yards:
24/35, 295 yards, 2TDs
High roller bets:
2+ Passing TDs (+120)
250+ Passing Yards (+165)
George Pickens 69.5 receiving yards (-115)
Have I mentioned this Baltimore defense allows offenses to run wild? Let’s keep this Pittsburgh train going. Since Russell Wilson took the helm for the Steelers, Pickens has seen a big improvement to his game. Over his last three games, Pickens has averaged 7 targets, and 92 receiving yards a game with Russ under center. If Russell Wilson comes out and has the game he should vs. this 32-ranked pass-defense team, Pickens should see well over 100 receiving yards this week. Easy money!
Expected yards:
10 targets, 8 receptions, 121 yards, 1 TD
High roller bets:
Anytime TD (+130)
100+ receiving yards (+280)
Cedric Tillman 55.5 receiving yards (-115)
The fantasy football treasure that Cedric Tillman has been, has also carried over for Cedric Tillman in prop bets. He’s hit the over in his last 3 weeks, and this week should be no different. Since Amari Cooper’s departure, Tillman has been Jameis Winston’s favorite target. Tillman has been targeted 32 times in those three games and is looking like the WR1 in that offense. In what should be a high-scoring game between Cleveland and New Orleans, this prop might hit by halftime.
Expected yards:
11 targets, 7 receptions, 91 yards, 1TD
High roller bets:
Anytime TD (+170)
90+ receiving yards (+340)
Joe Mixon 85.5 rushing yards (-120)
The Dallas Cowboys defense has been underwhelming after their strong year in 2023. This year, they come in as one of the worst defenses in the league and now face a Texans offense that is only getting healthier. They get Nico Collins back, which should revitalize that offense, and help Joe Mixon and the run game. Mixon has had five 100-yard games, despite missing 3 games. He’s playing some of the best football in his career, and should continue his hot streak vs. this Cowboys team.
Expected yards:
22 rushing attempts, 141 rushing yards, 1TD
3 receptions, 33 yards
High roller bets:
2+ TDs (+235)
110+ rushing yards (+210)
Calvin Ridley 4.5 receptions (-125)
After all hope was lost, Calvin Ridley has come to life in his last three games. He’s gotten over 5 receptions in three straight games, and now faces a Vikings defense that allows the 10th-most passing yards to opposing teams. Will Levis and the Titans haven’t done much, but some recent success has been led by getting Ridley involved. That WR room is empty after the departure of De’Andre Hopkins, so fire this prop up with confidence.
Expected yards:
9 targets, 7 receptions, 81 yards
High Roller bets:
80+ receiving yards (+240)
Anytime TD (+265)
