Well, that didn’t go according to plan. For as high as I was on Dalton Kincaid last week, fate had other ideas. He caught two passes for 37 yards, and then a hamstring injury sent him to the sidelines. Whether or not he was going to reach his player prop is unknown as the Buffalo Bills had a dud. Stefon Diggs simply didn’t get the job done, while JJ McCarthy saved it from being a winless afternoon.
However, we can’t dwell on the past. It’s all about looking towards the future, not overreacting, and making an educated decision. So, let’s jump right into our Week 11 NFL Prop Plays on DraftKings.

Week 11 NFL Prop Plays (DraftKings)
Zach Ertz Over 45.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
The Washington Commanders aren’t exactly in the best position offensively. Marcus Mariota remains under center with Jayden Daniels sidelined, and things are expected to be more conservative. That means Mariota will likely rely on his dependable veteran tight end in Zach Ertz, once again.
This week, it also helps that the Miami Dolphins have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Last week, Ertz figures to take advantage of that. In Week 10, Ertz was tied for the team lead in both targets (five) and receptions (four) as Mariota leaned on his tight end.
On the season, Ertz has 35 catches for 345 yards. In each of his last two games, he’s surpassed his player prop (46 and 54 yards, respectively), and the expectation is that this week, Ertz makes it three straight weeks.
Darius Slayton Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Last week, a hamstring strain didn’t keep Darius Slayton off the field. In fact, he had his best game of what’s been a trying season. Slayton didn’t show many ill effects from the injury as he caught four passes for 89 yards. That came on the heels of a five-catch, 62-yard performance the week prior.
Slayton has 23 catches for 343 yards on the season as he’s had to contend with uneven and inconsistent quarterback play. This week, Slayton will play with his third quarterback of the season as Jameis Winston gets the start.
Winston will likely look to throw the ball down the field, and Slayton is the Giants’ big-play and deep-ball threat. The Giants are also likely to be trailing against the Packers this week, so there will be ample opportunities for Winston and Slayton to connect downfield.
Dalton Schultz Over 38,5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Considering the fact that Dalton Schultz is averaging 49 receiving yards per game, we’re starting off in a good position with his player prop. C.J. Stroud will be sidelined another week, which means Davis Mills will be back under center. Mills has shown a propensity to look Schultz’s way, and that is expected to continue in Week 11.
While there are certainly more explosive or exciting tight ends than Schultz, that doesn’t mean we should overlook him. That’s especially the case when we are looking at prop plays.
In four of his last five games, and five out of seven, Schultz has surpassed this week’s player prop. There shouldn’t be any concerns about Schultz’s workload and targets in Week 11, which is he’s on our radar.
