Week 11 DFS Tight End CashGame Plays
Mark Andrews, BAL vs. HOU
FD ($6,900) DK ($6,100)
With 6-53-2 in Week 10, things worked out for Andrews, who we listed as our top GPP choice. There’s a dearth of viable cash game options this week, so even in a tough matchup against the Texans, Andrews is likely the best we’ve got. You can always spend down at TE in cash games and assume a little more risk since it’s a generally inconsistent position in terms of week-to-week production, but Andrews should be considered an elite TE at this point.
Jared Cook, NO at TB
FD ($6,000) DK ($4,400)
It’s a ugly week at TE. Cook rarely can be considered a lock forproduction, but he’s been remarkably consistent for the past three weeks withdouble-digit DK points in all three, and his 10 targets last week were aseason-high for him. His price has comeup on FD, but DK still has him listed as just $4,400, making him a huge bargainin a great matchup (TB ranks 31st against TEs)
Week 9 DFS Tight End GPP Plays
Darren Waller, OAK vs. CIN
FD ($6,700) DK ($5,500)
Waller has just as much upside as any TE this week based on matchup and typical volume, but Derek Carr is spreading the ball around more to his other TEs and WRs like Hunter Renfrow. Waller is worth a look in GPPs, but he’s no cash game lock.
Eric Ebron, IND vs. JAC
FD ($5,200) DK ($3,600)
Ebronis actually the discounted Colts TE this week, coming in at a remarkably low $3,600after a 12-target game in Week 10 against the Dolphins. His ownership might bea little higher than Doyle’s based on the pricing.
Jack Doyle, IND vs. JAC
FD ($5,400) DK ($4,000)
It’s fascinating to watch Doyle and Ebron flip back andforth on DK, with Doyle priced up this week despite just four targets to Ebron’s12 a week ago. Both make sense for GPPs, though it would take some hutzpah toplay them both together. That’s not recommended.
T.J. Hockenson, DET vs. DAL
FD ($5,300) DK ($3,900)
Hockenson gets a favorable matchup against Dallas, as the Cowboys are30th in the league against TEs based on DK points allowed. The rookie parlayedhis six targets into 3-47-0 last week facing the Bears, and he gets Jeff Driskelagain this week. He’s not a lock, but worth sprinkling into some GPPs.
Ross Dwelley, SF vs. ARI
FD ($4,900) DK ($3,400)
Dwelley only hauled in three of his seven targets last week,but he faces the worst defense in the league against TEs and should have moresuccess against the Cards than he did against Seattle. George Kittle is listedas doubtful for Week 11.
Week 9 DFS Tight End PuntPlays
TylerEifert, CIN at OAK
FD ($5,000) DK ($3,200)
Eifert’s stock is on therise, as theBengals have installed Ryan Finley down the stretch and a big-bodied, sturdytarget like Tyler could offer a security blanket for the rookie. This week hegets a favorable matchup against a Raiders team that has struggled in passdefense and will likely allow multiple dump-offs to Eifert and the RBs.
Ryan Griffin, NYJ at MIA
FD ($4,800) DK ($2,900)
Griffin gets no respect ion the DK pricing algorithm, andthat’s just fine with me. I’ll have tons of shares of the Jets TE, especiallywith Chris Herndon out for the season and no longer a threat to cut into hissnaps and targets.
Greg Olsen, CAR vs. ATL
FD ($5,100) DK ($3,900)
Olsen had 10 targetslast week and he could have a huge impact in this game if the Falcons stack thebox against CMC. I love the Panthers offense as a whole this week, as last week’sperformance vs. the Saints was probably an anomaly.
Kyle Rudolph, MIN vs. DEN
FD ($4,500) DK ($3,600)
FanDuel must have something against Rudolph, because he’s just $4,500 there. For a guy with four TDs in his last four weeks, that’s way too low. Use him in GPPs at TE or flex if you aren’t loading up on Dalvin Cook and the run game.
Additional Week 9 DFS GPP andpunt options:
ZachErtz, PHI vs. NE (FD $6,200, DK $5,000) – GPP
NoahFant, DEN at MIN (FD $5,100, DK $3,700) – GPP
O.J.Howard, TB vs. NO (FD $5,300, DK $3,600) – GPP
MikeGesicki, MIA vs. BUF (FD $5,100, DK $3,500) – GPP
BlakeJarwin, DAL at DET (FD $4,500, DK $2,900) – Punt
NickBoyle, BAL (FD $4,900, DK $2,700) – Punt
Week 11 DFS DST Cash GamePlays
Buffalo Bills (BUF at MIA)
FD ($5,000) DK ($3,800)
In Week 11, the Bills facethe Dolphins. They had a poor showing versus the Browns in Week 10 but scored10+ against this Miami team in Week 7 when Preston Williams was healthy andthey had more viable RBs. They offer a solid floor and upside this week and shouldbe a cash game staple, and the price on DK is still affordable.
New Orleans Saints (NO vs. ATL)
FD ($5,000) DK ($3,700)
With 14 sacks over theirpast four games, the Saints make for a solid option in all formats against abanged-up Falcons offensive unit. They’re cash-viable with 20-point upside inGPPs.
San Francisco 49ers (SF vs.ARI)
FD ($4,900) DK ($4,000)
The 49ers defense gets a favorable matchup and is one of thebest units in the game, and they didn’t take advantage a couple weeks ago in Arizona.Now, on their home turf, we could see a completely different story emerge. They’re solid play in all formats.
Week 11 DFS DST GPP Plays
New England Patriots (NE atPHI)
FD ($5,000) DK ($3,500)
This might be the cheapest you’ll see the Patriots defense the restof the way out this season on DK, where they’ve scored double digits in everyweek of the season except Week 9 and their bye. They should easily be $4Kagainst a banged-up Eagles team that’s lacking in consistent offensive options.The best option for GPPs (20+ upside) and cash-viable as well.
Minnesota Vikings (MIN vs. DEN)
FD ($4,700) DK ($3,400)
The Vikings defensive line must be licking theircollective chops at the prospect of going after Brandon Allen on their hometurf. This week could feature their highest DST score since the dropped 16 DKpoints on Atlanta in Week 1.
Oakland Raiders (OAK vs. CIN)
FD ($5,000) DK ($3,300)
The Raiders face one ofthe worst teams in the league, if not the worst, and should put plenty of pressureon Ryan Finley despite their issues with pass coverage. They might have a lowerflor than some of these other STs listed, but they have just as much upside asanyone except the Pats and Vikings.
Dallas Cowboys (DAL at DET)
FD ($4,100) DK ($3,600)
The Cowboys are relatively inexpensive, because they’re a risky bunchto get into shootouts and don’t create a ton of turnovers. They have muchhigher upside this week against a poor run defense (they can slow it down andyou can pair Ezekiel Elliott with the Cowboys DST in a few GPP builds)) and apositive game script for the defense against Jeff Driskel.
Indianapolis Colts (IND vs. JAC)
FD ($4,400) DK ($3,300)
TheColts are a boom-or-bust GPP play this week, as they face the Jaguars and NickFoles. I’m willing to consider them at home against a QB who could be rusty,especially sine they have a solid run defense and Foles might be forced to throwa bit more than he’d like in his first game back.
Week 11 DFS DST PuntPlays
New York Jets (NYJ at WAS)
FD ($4,500) DK ($3,100)
The Jets face a rookie QB (Dwayne Haskins) and have looked muchbetter defensively the past few weeks. They’re a viable play in all formatsthis week and still won’t cost you much.
Baltimore Ravens (BAL vs. HOU)
FD ($4,300) DK ($3,000)
The Ravens DST has a toughmatchup, but the Texans are not immune to mistakes. They’re a risky play butcheap on both sites and GPP viable.
Carolina Panthers (CAR vs. ATL)
FD ($3,700) DK ($3,000)
The Panthers might be my favorite punt defense this week in GPPs,because they have the best RB in fantasy and the Falcons are a mistake-prone groupmissing their top RB and TE Austin Hooper, a key safety valve for Matt Ryan.
