Using his experience as a former scout and staff member at Central Florida under Josh Heupel, Jordan Vanek takes an in-depth look at the upcoming CFB DFS main slate on DraftKings for Week 11. Formerly of The 33rd Team and 4for4 Fantasy Football, Jordan’s deep dive into the best stacks, running backs, and wide receivers is a must-read before you start building your lineups.

Week 11 brings one of the most wide-open slates we’ve seen all season. The quarterback pool doesn’t feature a marquee option, which makes stacking and correlation more important than ever. With several fast-paced matchups and a handful of defenses that have shown glaring weaknesses, there are plenty of paths to a unique build. Between affordable RB value and top-end WRs, this slate gives you ton of pathways to get to some great game environments.

Our CFB DFS projections are always updating and are going to give you the edge when news breaks late. Our projections team will also be posting real-time updates in the RotoGrinders Discord, so make sure you’re in there throughout the day.

CFB DFS DraftKings Picks: Top Stacks, RBs, & WRs for Week 11

The worst pass defense on the slate belongs to Rutgers, a team that lives in man coverage and has allowed over 8 yards per dropback this season. Their corners simply can’t hold up in coverage. In their matchup with Maryland, most of the offense has struggled against man looks, but there are two players in particular who carry strong target rates and could exploit this matchup.

TCU, on the other hand, runs a zone-heavy scheme, which makes it tough to predict where the ball will go for Iowa State. No receiver has more than a 20% target share from Rocco Becht ($7,800) this season, and their production tends to come in different ways depending on how defenses rotate in zone.

Oregon plays a lot of man coverage, but they favor Cover 2 Man – a look that Iowa doesn’t have the personnel to be a productive passing offense, but it’s a fun reference for the graph. Kansas gives an entirely different challenge, sitting in two-high coverage so often that teams have been gashing them on the ground. If only we could have a feature back from the Arizona offense.
Colorado lives in Cover 1, with head coach Deion Sanders trusting his corners to win 1-on-1 matchups. He also likes to load the box, though that hasn’t helped much – Colorado has allowed over 2,000 rushing yards this season. Missouri, on the other hand, runs a single-high structure, primarily Cover 3. There’s one Texas A&M wideout who’s been dominant against that look, making him one of the more intriguing plays in that game.

Game Stacks

Gunner Stockton ($8,300, QB, Georgia)

Zachariah Branch ($5,100, WR, Georgia) or Noah Thomas ($3,100, WR, Georgia)

Blake Shapen ($6,600, QB, Mississippi State)

Brenen Thompson ($5,700, WR, Mississippi State)

Anthony Evans III ($5,600, WR, Mississippi State)

This game has a chance to be one of the fastest-paced matchups on the slate, with both teams playing at an uptempo pace. On the Georgia side, I like Stockton’s rushing upside in this spot. In 4 of Mississippi State’s last 5 games, a quarterback has rushed for a touchdown. Stockton himself has 7 rushing scores on the season and has logged 2 games with multiple rushing TDs.

When stacking Stockton, I’m mainly focused on him using his legs, but there are two potential pairing options. The primary stacking partner is Branch – he’s had a dominant target share and consistent role all season. Over the last 3 games, he has a 28.9% target share and has been a strong PPR producer. My second option is Thomas, who saw a big bump in routes with Colbie Young sidelined. He’s very cheap, and while he’s only run a route on 33% of dropbacks this season, he’s still 4th in air-yards share. His aDOT has been 18, 28, and 26 yards over the last 3 games, showing how much downfield potential he brings.

Last season, Mississippi State scored 31 points on Georgia, and we’ve already seen similar offenses find success – Tennessee dropped 40, and Ole Miss scored 35. This uptempo scheme gives defenses problems because it limits their ability to adjust pre-snap, leading to communication breakdowns.

On the Mississippi State side, I’m targeting the passing game. Georgia has excellent run defenders but lacks a pass rush – their 2.4% sack rate ranks among the worst in the nation. That sets up well for Shapen, who has a condensed passing tree centered around Thompson and Evans. These two dominate targets, air yards, and overall involvement, making them the key pieces to stack with Shapen.

The only concern with Shapen is the rotation – Mississippi State occasionally mixes in their freshman backup QB for a few plays. But as long as Shapen stays healthy and in rhythm, head coach Jeff Lebby won’t take him off the field, giving him a solid ceiling in this matchup.
