NFL Lineup Walkthrough - Week 11
Notorious gives a detailed walkthrough of how he built his main cash-game lineup on DraftKings for NFL Week 10. He’ll offer his entire lineup and explain the thought process behind each pick.
Week 11 NFL DraftKings Lineup
Drew Brees – There were a lot of great matchups to exploit at QB this week. I had Robert Griffin pegged as my favorite play early in the week, but with all of the value at RB, I decided to spend up and take Brees. He has basically been a lock for 300+ yards and 2 TDs at home over the last few seasons and draws a prime matchup against the Bengals.
Alfred Blue – Once Arian Foster was ruled out, Blue became a no-brainer at RB this week. He was minimum-salary and should get the bulk of the carries this week, as the Texans take on a below average Browns’ run defense.
Jeremy Hill – Hill was another injury plug and play. Once Giovani Bernard was ruled out, Hill became a terrific value at only $4,500. He’s had mixed results as a starter this season, but he has a ton of talent and a good matchup against the Saints.
Kelvin Benjamin – Benjamin’s price only went up $200 after his two-TD performance last week. He draws another prime matchup against the weak secondary of the Falcons. I figured that as long as Cam was in the lineup, he would see another heavy dose of targets this week.
Antonio Brown – Brown has been one of most consistent receivers in the NFL this season. His price is down a bit after a quiet week against the Jets. I’m fully expecting him to get back on track this week against the Titans.
Julio Jones – Jones is one of the best receivers in the NFL when healthy. He’s coming off of a strong game against the Buccaneers and draws a prime matchup against the Panthers, whose defense continues to get shredded through the air.
Travis Kelce – I was targeting Jimmy Graham all week, but once Anthony Fasano was ruled out, I had to take a chance on Kelce, as the biggest knock on him all season has been his snap counts. That shouldn’t be a problem this week against the Seahawks, who have really struggled against TEs.
Jordy Nelson – I’ve been on the wrong side of Nelson all season long. Hopefully I can break that trend this week as the Packers face the Eagles, whose corners have been beat deep time and time again this season.
Cardinals D/ST – The Cardinals play great defense at home and Matthew Stafford has a track record of turning the ball over. I like the upside and the price at only $2,800.
