This week there are three games for the late slate. The problem is there are a lot of expensive options and not a lot of high-value plays in Week 11 NFL DFS. So, this week I try to mix in some lower-cost options where you can play them with some of the higher-priced players.
Week 11 NFL DFS for the Late Slate
Quarterbacks
Bo Nix
Did you know Bo Nix is currently the QB9 in standard fantasy leagues? That’s right—he’s been a consistent top-10 option. When facing defenses in the bottom 10 against the pass, Nix has been electric, averaging over 20 fantasy points per game.
In Week 11, Nix squares off against the Falcons, who allow the 7th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Translation: another juicy matchup for Nix to exploit. If you’ve been sleeping on him, now’s the time to wake up—this is a perfect opportunity to ride the wave of his success.

Brock Purdy
In the last four games, Purdy has two or more touchdowns in each game. Right now Purdy is the overall QB8 on the season. He averages 271 passing yards per game. This Niners against Seahawks game has an over/under of 48 points which is the second highest in the slate. Both Brock and Geno Smith should be slinging it.

Geno Smith
Smith is also performing as a top-10 quarterback this season. Geno has passed for at least one touchdown in all but one game this season. The Niners will put up points and Geno will try to answer. To top it off Geno’s price point has not hit his fantasy value in DFS yet. Yo Geno! Paulie wants to see ya!

Josh Allen
The match-up against the Chiefs is actually pretty tough but Allen has five straight weeks of scoring 20 or more fantasy points. He simply finds a way to get it done. When Allen is not passing for over 200 yards and multiple touchdowns he is running for 50 or more yards.

Running Backs
Kareem Hunt
The Chiefs have found their winning formula: a steady run game paired with strong defense. At the heart of that strategy is Kareem Hunt, who has logged 20+ touches in five consecutive games. In fantasy football, volume is king, and Hunt has it in spades.
Week 11 pits the Chiefs against the Bills, a defense that’s been generous to opposing running backs. The Bills have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to the position this season, with at least one RB scoring double-digit points in 9 of 10 games.
All signs point to Hunt once again delivering for fantasy managers, grinding his way to another solid double-digit performance. Lock him in!

Christian McCaffrey
In his first game back from injury this season McCaffrey saw a whopping 88% share of the running back snaps. He had 19 total touches and 107 total yards. He is back. McCaffrey is going to catch footballs, he is going to run for yards, and he will score a touchdown in Week 11.

Audric Estime
Estime led the Denver Broncos backfield in snaps in Week 10 with 26. He also had 14 carries for 53 yards. The match-up is not ideal, but if Sean Payton is telling the truth Esime should lead the Broncos backfield in touches again in Week 11. He is priced right to allow you to pay up elsewhere.

Kenneth Walker III
Walker is the primary ball carrier for the Seahawks. He has double-digit fantasy score in all but one game this season. The San Francisco Forty Niners give up the 13th most fantasy points to opposing teams running backs. That is nothing to fear. You can look for Walker to produce in both the run and the passing game this week.

Wide Receivers
Courtland Sutton
Over the past three games, Courtland Sutton has been a target magnet, with 30 total looks—averaging an impressive 10 per game. In that span, he’s turned those opportunities into 21 catches for 292 yards and a touchdown. The volume is undeniable, and in fantasy football, opportunity equals production.
Week 11 brings an enticing matchup against the Falcons, who rank in the bottom 10 for fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. With Sutton’s recent consistency and this favorable matchup, he’s a fantastic option for DFS lineups and season-long leagues alike. Don’t miss out—Sutton’s ready to shine! You may also want to play Devaughn Vele.

Devaughn Vele
The rookie wide receiver was second on the Broncos in wide receiver snaps played in Week 10. He has also been producing out of the slot when given the opportunity. He had 4 receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 10.

Ricky Pearsall
Pearsall has secured himself a position in the Niners offense. In Week 10 Pearsall had 6 targets, 4 receptions, 73 yards, and a TD. He is playing the same role that Brandon Aiyuk had in this offense. That means he will have targets and production. The Niners will be throwing the ball Sunday as the Seahawks give up the tenth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

Deebo Samuel
The Niners played the Seahawks in Week 6. In that game, Deebo had 4 carries for 15 yards and saw 5 targets which he turned into 3 receptions 102 yards and a touchdown. This week we should see another shootout between the Niners and Seahawks.

DK Metcalf
Metcalf will be back in action in Week 11. If you want to run it back with any of the Seahawks he would be a good choice. There volume should be there in Week 11. In Week 6 against this Niners team, Metcalf saw 11 targets. He didn’t do much with it that game. But I think he will this week.

Tight Ends
Dawson Knox
With Dalton Kincaid ruled out due to a knee and Knox will be starting on Sunday against the Chiefs, he’s in line for a prime opportunity. The Chiefs have struggled to contain tight ends, allowing the second-most fantasy points to the position this season.
With the Bills shorthanded at wide receiver, Knox could play a pivotal role in the passing game. If active, this matchup sets up as the perfect spot for him to have a significant impact in Week 11. Keep an eye on his status and get ready to plug him in if he’s good to go!

Pat Freiermuth
Freiermuth is getting roughly four targets a game. He scored a touchdown in Week 10. With Mike Williams addition to the team it helps free up players like Muth in the red zone. The Steelers also happen to play the Ravens in Week 11. The Ravens give up the ninth most fantasy points to tight ends. In three out of the last four games a tight end has scored double-digit fantasy points against the Ravens. Pat is set up nicely in Week 11 for production.

George Kittle
Kittle is the top tight end in fantasy this season. In Week 6 the Niners played the Seahawks and Kittle saw six targets, which he turned into 5 receptions, 58 yards and 2 touchdowns. Kittle has scored double-digit fantasy points in seven straight games. I just sold myself on playing Kittle.

Defense
Broncos
The Broncos are a really good real-life defense. They are also a really good defense for fantasy. Out of the six teams playing in the Late Slate the Falcons give up the most fantasy points to opposing teams defenses. The Broncos will most likely get a few sacks and interceptions in this one.
