Finding Paydirt: Week 11 NFL Touchdown Picks — Win 2 Months of RG Premium & More Prizes!
Touchdowns, while extremely variant, make or break daily fantasy success and swing thousands of dollars every Sunday. Every weekend, players wait anxiously for the players on their roster to find paydirt. The purpose of the contest is to provide an opportunity for the RotoGrinders community to come together to sweat our touchdown picks together. Did I mention there will be prizes?
Happy Football Weekend, Grinders! Week 10 is done and dusted as we are halfway through segment three. We don’t have much to report in the way of touchdowns as we didn’t get to see anything as exciting as Joe Mixon in Week 9. Let’s take a look at our leaderboard before making Week 11 Anytime Touchdown Scorer picks.

Finding Paydirt Rules and Prizes
Very simple. Each week, I will publish Finding Paydirt on Friday morning — highlighting my favorite touchdown pick for the running back, wide receiver, and tight end position. To participate in the contest, you simply need to read the article and leave your three picks in the comments section. So, easy, right? You will take Jonathan Taylor, Davante Adams, and Travis Kelce! Easy!
Not so fast, friends! There is a catch. Each week, we will run the contest for Sunday’s DraftKings Main Slate (1:00 PM and 4:00 PM games). However, to make things a bit more interesting, I will be cutting the top five priced running backs and wide receivers as well as the top three priced tight ends. Everyone else on the slate is in play.
Each week I will post an updated leaderboard with the total touchdowns accumulated that week and for the season.
So, simply put, read the article, check the cut list, make your three picks in the comments, and win prizes! What are the prizes? Read below.
The following prizes will be awarded to players based on their touchdown total for each four-week segment:
First Place – 2 months of RotoGrinders NFL Premium

The following prizes will be awarded to players based on their touchdown total for the first 16 weeks of the NFL season:

Now, let’s get into this week’s cut list.
The Week 11 Cut List
Your selections must be on the DraftKings Main Slate and cannot be any of the players below. These players are the top five at both RB and WR and the top three at TE.
| Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End |
| Saquon Barkley | Justin Jefferson | Mark Andrews |
| Nick Chubb | Davante Adams | T.J. Hockenson |
| Dalvin Cook | Stefon Diggs | Kyle Pitts |
| Jonathan Taylor | A.J. Brown | |
| Alvin Kamara | CeeDee Lamb |
Now that we have made our cuts, let’s make some anytime touchdown picks.
NFL Week 11 Touchdown Picks
Dameon Pierce – RB – $6,500
Dameon Pierce will continue to be an extremely popular DFS option until DraftKings prices him according to his opportunities instead of his point output. Pierce continues to see a full workload but… his team stinks.
Well, lucky for Pierce he plays a team that isn’t that great this weekend. The Commanders have played far better with Taylor Heinicke at the helm but are not dominant on either side of the ball. The Commanders’ defense has ceded the 4 rushing touchdowns and 6 receiving touchdowns to the position. With the volume Pierce commands, it’s time to fall in the endzone.
Pierce is -110 to score a touchdown on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Tee Higgins – WR – $7,100
As we move away from the cut players, I am looking for a wide receiver with a proven touchdown track record regardless of the matchup. The Steelers defense looks improved and gave Joe Burrow fits in Week 1. That said, Tee Higgins is surely the most likely receiving option on Cincinnati to hit paydirt.
For what it’s worth, the Steelers are tied for the most touchdowns allowed to the wide receiver position this season. The addition of T.J. Watt definitely makes Pittsburgh more formidable but the Bengals would love nothing more than to throw the football all over. Higgins continues to see just below ten targets per game and is due for a couple of scores.
Higgins is +150 to score at FanDuel Sportsbook
Greg Dulcich – TE – $3,800
Like Dameon Pierce, Greg Dulcich will be a very popular option this weekend despite being a member of the Denver Broncos’ offense. Dulcich is very cheap with a guaranteed role in a week where the slate needs value.
The Raiders have allowed 6 touchdowns to the tight end position this season. Dulcich steadily sees north of four targets but hasn’t found the endzone since his first game as a Bronco. The athletic tight end seems primed to hit the endzone against a Las Vegas team that continues to unravel as the season goes on.
Caesars Sportsbook prices Greg Dulcich at +230 to score a touchdown on Sunday.
