That said, there were tons of fantasy sleepers last week. Your PPR points leaders at the running back position were Darrel Williams, Rhamondre Stevenson, and AJ Dillon; Mac Jones and Trevor Siemian ranked third and fifth, respectively, in QB scoring; Kendrick Bourne scored 24.1 PPR points; and DErnest Johnson and Mark Ingram Sam Coonrod Jersey both cleared the 20-point threshold. If you plucked any of these guys off the NFL DFS player pools last week, you probably had a lucrative Sunday in FanDuel and DraftKings contests.
We exist to pinpoint sleepers and high-value DFS picks each week by compiling a list of sleepers and/or dark-horse picks to help you win some cold, hard cash. The more value players you add, the more money youll have left for proven weekly studs at other roster spots.

WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: | |
NFL DFS Picks Week 11: QB sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuelJoe Burrow, Bengals at Raiders (DK: 6,600 | FD: $7,400)
Burrow isnt exactly a "sleeper," but $6,600 for a QB with a good matchup definitely qualifies as high value. He's coming off a much-needed bye week, and the Bengals immediately get to feast on a Raiders defense that just got pummeled by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Burrow wont throw for 400 yards and five touchdowns like Mahomes did, but he could easily throw for 300 yards and three scores. The Raiders look brokenwith a first-time head coach who is clearly in over his head. This is the perfect time Barry Bonds Jersey for the 2020 No. 1 pick to log a banner gameand give the Bengals some second-half momentum ahead of a crowded AFC playoff race. Buy in now before Burrow sails into the $7,000 range next week.
Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers at Jaguars (DK: $5,600 | FD: $7,100)
Jimmy G might not have enjoyed monstrous yardage numbers in San Francisco's upset over the Rams on Monday Night Football, but he sure did what he had to do, netting the 49ers their second win in three games. Garoppolo is at his best when he methodically moves the chains on defenses with efficient short-yardage gains, then launches a deep strike when the secondary least expects it. We saw that Monday when he went eight-for-eight in the first half, hitting his favorite tight end target George Kittle early and often, and then nailed wideout Deebo Samuel for a 40-yard score in the second half. This Niners team could have a very different second half after a3-5 start. Kittle is healthy, receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been much more involved, and running back Elijah Mitchell has emerged as the workhorse back this squad always needs to succeed. Against Andrew McCutchen Jersey a Jacksonville defense ranked 25th in fantasy points per game allowed to QBs, I think Jimmy G will post at least 20 fantasy points. He put up 30 in Chicago in Week 8and 23.3 in Week 9 against Arizona. His cost is low right now because he just played the Rams and managed just 15.3. Buy the dip!
Trevor Siemian, Saints at Eagles (DK: $5,300 | FD: $7,000)
I told readers to keep an eye on Siemian two weeks ago, and he has been more than worthy of our attention. The veteran backup threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions at Tenne see last weekend, narrowly mi sing the upset win over the AFC-leading Titans. Now Siemian gets a Philly defense that has allowed at least 297 pa sing yards and two TDs in Mauricio Dubon Jersey three of its past five games. Hes not an exciting pick, but at $5,300, he will allow you afford an exciting guy elsewhere without sacrificing a ton of production.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | |
NFL DFS Picks Week 11: RB sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuelAJ Dillon, Packers at Vikings (DK: $6,200 | FD: $7,000)
All aboard the Dillon hype train! Were not chasing points here -- we are simply taking a clear value and jumping on it before his price shoot up any further. Dillon is a beast at 6-foot, 250 pounds, hits his spots well, and is very difficult to tackle when he breaks into the second level. Hes the closest thing to Derrick Henry we have left right now. The bruising Boston College product will rumble through Minnesota this weekend, facing a Vikings team that has surrendered 130.6 rushing yards per game this season (28th in the NFL).
David Montgomery, Bears vs. Ravens (DK: $5,500 | FD: $6,800)
We last saw Montgomery in Pittsburgh in Week 9when he returned from a four-game injury. The stud back put up 63 rushing yards on 13 carries and added two receptions for 17 yards against a tough Steelers defense. Now Montgomery gets a Baltimore defense that surprisingly ranks 21st in fantasy points per game allowed to RBs. Coming off a bye week, I like Montgomery's chances of maintaining his 4.5 yards-per-carry average and finding paydirt for the fourth time this season.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |
NFL DFS Picks Week 11: WR sleepers, values for DraftKings, FanDuelDeVonta Smith, Eagles vs. Saints (DK: $6,400 | FD: $6,600)
Smith has truly benefited from his reunion with Philly QB and former Alabama teammate Jalen Hurts. Last Stephen Vogt Jersey week in Denver, the rookie wideout logged his third 22-point fantasy game of the season, hauling in four catches for 66 yards and two scores. Many will view this as an unsavory pick, as New Orleans has a reputation as a tough
