Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and we get a 12-game SuperDraft DFS main slate. Let’s dive in and see who the best plays are for every position.
Top Quarterbacks
Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers (1.45x score multiplier)
Do you believe in the hype of Cam Newton’s return to Carolina? He spent the week practicing with the first team and was announced as the starter against the Washington Football Team. In his first game back and with very minimal action, the Panthers used him in situations that benefited him as he ran one in for a score and threw for another. This is the perfect game to jump into, as the Washington Football Team allows the most points to the quarterback position with 24.2 per game.
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (1.1x)
In what should be an exciting matchup, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys go up against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs allow the second-most fantasy points to the quarterback position with 22.3. Their defense has not been up to par this season, and quarterbacks are finding ways to beat them. They also have the fewest sacks on the season and just eight interceptions overall, which puts Prescott in a prime position to dominate this Sunday.
Top Running Backs
Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns (1.15x)
It’s hard to pass up Chubb, who was activated off of the Reserve/COVID-19 List and now gets to face the struggling Detroit Lions. He has scored in four of the seven weeks he has played with a total of six touchdowns on the season. He leads the Browns backfield in carries and targets. D’Ernest Johnson has done enough to take a few away from him but nothing major.
James Conner, Arizona Cardinals (1.3x)
As long as Chase Edmonds is out, I’m going to keep running it back with James Conner. He has found success being the main back or the backup running back. Conner has a total of 12 touchdowns on the season. He is coming off his worst games this season with just 39 rushing yards with one rushing touchdown and 25 receiving yards but that was an odd game overall for the Arizona Cardinals. Conner had just 10 carries and four targets in Week 10, but this should be a bounceback game, especially if the Cardinals get Kyler Murray (game-time decision) back.
Top Wide Receivers
Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers (1.2x)
Everyone (including Jalen Ramsey) should know who Deebo Samuel is by now. Samuel is second in receiving yards on the season and is coming in with the second-best matchup on the slate. The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently giving up 29.8 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. With a matchup against Rudy Ford most likely, Samuel should have one optimal performance.
DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers (1.25x)
Moore has not equaled the performances that we expected so far this season, but that’s mainly due to who his quarterback has been. With just two games of 100 receiving yards or more, Moore should see a big boost with Cam Newton under center. The Washington Football Team also gives up the second-most fantasy points to the position. Moore has led the receiving core in targets and receptions on the season, so he can be trusted as a top play this Sunday.
Top Tight Ends
George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers (1.35x)
There is always good chalk, and that’s Kittle this week. Somehow, Kittle gets the 1.35x multiplier after back-to-back weeks with a receiving touchdown and sitting in a prime position. He receives the targets every week that he plays barring his 4 target week 2 performance. This game could benefit the receivers, and I’ll want some action on George Kittle.
Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals (1.7x)
I’m diving deep with Zach Ertz, who has a 1.7x multiplier. Since joining the Cardinals, his target totals have been 5, 4, 5, and 6. Keep in mind, the past two weeks have been with Colt McCoy. While I will be lower on Ertz if McCoy starts once again, I definitely want heavier exposure if Kyler Murray is back. Ertz has put up more than 40 receiving yards in three of the four games with the Cardinals but hasn’t found the end zone since his first game in Arizona.
