Building the Perfect DraftKings Lineup in Week 11

Building the Perfect DraftKings Lineup in Week 11

Even if you don't copy this lineup completely, there are a few players you'd be foolish to pass up. If you want to take home the big money in one of the larger DraftKings tournaments, you have to find the right mix of risks and studs. Here's my best shot at that perfect mix for Week 11.

6. QB: Andy Dalton - $5,600

That price is far too low to pass up. Dalton couldn't overcome the wind and Cleveland Browns' defense last week, but he's inside a dome against a softer New Orleans Saints secondary this week. He's a big bounce-back candidate, especially with a long week to prepare. Let everyone else overreact to last Thursday's performance, and take advantage.

A rusty Shaun Hill playing with the pressure of keeping up with Peyton Manning should give the Broncos plenty of opportunities for big plays.

4. WR: Jordy Nelson - $7,700, A.J. Green - $6,000, Andrew Hawkins - $4,100

Nelson against a weak Philadelphia Eagles secondary is one of the best plays of the week. A.J. Green's price tag is another ridiculous overreaction to one subpar performance. Hawkins is Brian Hoyer's favorite target. The Browns will be without Hoyer's second-favorite target, Jordan Cameron which should increase the already healthy amount of targets Hawkins receives (8.75 per game).

Defending the tight end is one thing the Seattle Seahawks' defense doesn't do very well. With Demetrius Harris and Anthony Fasano (most likely) out this week, the young playmaker should get plenty of opportunities to rack up the fantasy points.

2. RB: Mark Ingram - $6,200, Shane Vereen - $5,500

Ingram is red-hot and facing a struggling Cincinnati Bengals defense. He's racked up 424 total yards and three TDs in his last three games. Vereen and the Patriots are poised for a shootout against the Indianapolis Colts. Considering DraftKings gives a point for every reception, this would be a great week to start New England's best pass-catching running back.

1. Flex: Antonio Brown - $7,800

Brown has already compiled 1,070 receiving yards and eight TDs this season. Those totals are good for first and second, respectively, among wide receivers. By DraftKings scoring, he averages a ridiculous 25.3 points per game. He's topped 30 points four times with a low score of 13.4 on the season. It just doesn't get better than that for a flex play.
