Week 11 Wide Receiver DFS Picks: Thomas & Friends Pt. 2

Our Week 9 article was nearly perfect, so it was going to be hard to live up to that in Week 10. While Michael Thomas and DeVante Adams predictably did well, we got disappointing games from most of our GPP options. That’s going to happen every once in a while, and I feel much better about this week’s slate of games. With that in mind, let’s get into our Week 11 wide receiver DFS picks.

Week 11 Wide Receiver Cash Game Plays

Michael Thomas, NO at TB

DK ($9,900) FD ($9,000)

Thomas was our most successful pick last week and it’s impossible to fade this guy at this point. We’re talking about a dude who’s scored at least 16.4 DK points in every game this season while leading all wide receivers with 25.2 fantasy points per game. That’s downright ridiculous production and an even more unbelievable floor. The reason for that is because of his targets and catch rate. Not only does he lead the league with 11.1 targets per game, but he also leads the NFL with an 83 percent catch rate. That has to be terrifying for a Buccaneers secondary who’s surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing WRs this season. Don’t fade MT in cash games!

Mike Evans, TB vs. NO

DK ($7,400) FD ($8,200)

On the other side of the ball, we have to love Evans. This guy has been a Top-3 wide receiver since he was dealing with an illness the first two weeks and it’s clear that he’s the one making corners sick now. Since Week 3, Evans has collected 48 catches for 835 yards and seven TDs on 76 targets. Those are all Top-5 at his position and it’s obvious at this point that he’s the superior option to Chris Godwin. This should be a high-scoring game when looking at the 52-point total and Evans 233 receiving yards against this team last season indicates that he likes the matchup too.

Week 11 Wide Receiver GPP Plays

Marquise Brown, BAL vs. HOU

DK ($5,600) FD ($5,600)

Downtown Brown is literally the definition of a GPP wide receiver. While he’s been missing some games due to injury recently, he looked fully healthy in Week 10. That’s what we’re aiming for with a speedster like this, finishing that game with four catches for 80 yards and a TD. The usage numbers are definitely there too, with Brown attaining 26 percent of his team’s air yards and 18.3 percent of his team’s targets. That’s big news against a Houston secondary who owns a 28^th OPRK against opposing WRs this season. This might be one of the few times that Baltimore won’t be running at will with a big lead too, as we’re looking at a game with a 3.5-point spread and 50-point total.

Tyler Boyd, CIN vs. OAK

DK ($5,200) FD ($5,900)

It’s so crazy that these DFS sites continue to price Boyd so low. He currently ranks eighth among all wide receivers in total targets, while collecting a 26 percent team target share and 30 percent of his team’s air yards. Those are some of the best marks in football and his 57 catches for 598 yards aren’t shabby either. That monstrous workload is very enticing in a matchup like this, with the Raiders surrendering the most fantasy points in the league to WRs. In addition, Cincy should have to throw the ball a lot, entering this matchup as a 10.5-point underdog.

Dede Westbrook, JAX at IND

DK ($4,500) FD ($5,400)

Westbrook has been dealing with some injuries over recent weeks and it’s lowered his price to numbers that we can’t pass up. Before getting injured in Week 8, Westbrook averaged 8.6 targets over his previous five games. That led to him averaging five catches for 70 yards per game. That’s really all we can ask for from such a cheap player and we haven’t even discussed the implementation of Nick Foles into the lineup. Foles absolutely loves Westbrook and he actually peppered him with over half of the team’s targets in the preseason when both guys were on the field.

Week 11 Wide Receiver Punt Plays

Auden Tate, CIN at OAK

DK ($4,200) FD ($5,300)

This is another case of a player seeing way too many targets to be priced this cheaply. Not only has Tate received at least six targets in seven-straight games, but he’s also averaging 8.3 targets per game in that span. That’s led to him providing 26 percent of his team’s air yards and those rates are way too high for a player in this price range. While the production hasn’t necessarily been there, it could be against a Raiders secondary who surrenders the third-most passing yards in the NFL in addition to the most fantasy points to WRs.

Ted Ginn Jr. NO at TB

DK ($4,100) FD ($5,200)

Ginn is the punt play of all punt plays. He was actually a favorite of many people last week but we’re going to capitalize on that disappointment and use him here at much lower ownership. All the things that made him a good play last week go for this week. Ginn gets to face a Tampa defense who’s surrendered the most passing yards in the NFL while owning a 31^st OPRK against opposing wide receivers. That tasty matchup is extremely enticing for this passing game, as we anticipate Drew Brees having a monster day. If he does, Ginn could land one of those deep balls, as his 55 receptions of 20+ yards and 19 catches of 40+ yards since 2013 are some of the best marks in the NFL.

Hopkins, Thomas, and Jones Over 23.5 Receptions

These are arguably the three-best WRs in the NFL, with two of the leading the league in receptions. I expect two of these guys to get 10 catches, which would mean we only need four from the last one.
