It's time to start working on your FanDuel lineups for Week 11. If you want to win one of the big tournaments, you have to take a few chances. Here is my best shot at the perfect mix of studs and risks for Week 11.

6. K: Blair Walsh -- $4,500

This matchup is a strong leg up against a weak Chicago Bears defense. Walsh is an insane 15 of 18 from beyond 50 yards in his career, and is three for three this season. His price tag is as cheap as FanDuel goes, so take advantage.

The Packers will be at home against the Mark Sanchez-led Philadelphia Eagles. The Pack may give up a few yards on the ground, but they also force a lot of turnovers (18). Sanchez on the road against an aggressive defense could add up to a second straight week of big points for this squad.

4. RB: Shane Vereen -- $6,500, Ryan Mathews -- $6,200

Mathews is a risk, while Vereen is a pretty nice bargain. Mathews is expected to return this week against a sad Oakland Raiders run defense. He should have every opportunity to earn his job back from an ice-cold Branden Oliver. Vereen is one of the best pass-catching backs in the NFL on an offense facing a mediocre Indianapolis Colts' defense. Remember, FanDuel gives half a point for receptions.

3. QB: Robert Griffin III -- $7,400

Griffin has had the bye week to prepare for a terrible Tampa Bay pass defense. The fact that he carried the ball seven times for 25 yards in his Week 9 return shows that he isn't afraid to run. There is definitely hope for some extra points in that area.

2. TE: Jimmy Graham -- $7,900

A healthy Graham is definitely worth the hefty price tag. A great tight end performance is a good way to separate yourself from the pack. Against a struggling Cincinnati defense, Graham is probably the best play at the position this week. Only Rob Gronkowski is anywhere close to his value.

1. WR: Calvin Johnson -- $9,000, Martavis Bryant -- $7,000, Kelvin Benjamin -- $6,600

By FanDuel's scoring, Bryant has hit double digits every time and averages 18.6 points per game. He is a steal. Nobody allows more passing yards per game than the Atlanta Falcons, which is the defense Benjamin will face this week. Megatron is healthy, and facing the Arizona Cardinals' No. 30 pass defense. If I need to explain further why he's worth the price tag, you should not be playing on FanDuel.
