DraftKings NFL Week 11 Values: Wide Receivers

Premium Tier ($7,000 and up): Davante Adams (GB at IND, $8,600) is not someone we like snubbing, but he draws an Indianapolis Colts defense that has shut down opposing wide receivers better than any other team in the league since Week 7 began. We’d rather let others pay up for the target monster; regardless of whether or not Calvin Ridley plays, Julio Jones (ATL at NO, $7,500) should see similar volume at a discount of over $1,000.

As much as we relish the opportunity to start a healthy Michael Thomas (NO vs. ATL, $7,300) at what feels like a discount, we’re even higher on Keenan Allen (LAC vs. NYJ, $7,400). Herbert’s favorite target is another high-volume option who has been as steady as they come over the past four years:

Mid-Tier Values ($6,000 to $6,900): JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT at JAX, $6,400) has shaken off a slow start by averaging 10.5 targets over his last four games, seeing at least seven in each. The former USC product is capitalizing on that volume, notching at least six receptions and 67 yards in each contest over that span, scoring in each of his last two.

Adam Thielen (MIN vs. DAL, $6,300) is a fair value at a similar price, as is Chase Claypool (PIT at JAX, $6,100), but we’d rather roll with Will Fuller (HOU vs. NE, $6,200), even if Stephon Gilmore manages to suit up for the first time in weeks. Fuller’s touchdown streak of six games came to a crashing halt in the blustery, miserable conditions at Cleveland last week, but we like the odds of a new streak starting this week, in conjunction with his fifth 100-yard receiving game of the season.

Value Tier ($5,000 to $5,900): Players in this tier we like include Justin Jefferson (MIN vs. DAL, $6,000), Amari Cooper (DAL at MIN, $5,400), and Brandin Cooks (HOU vs. NE, $5,200). The latter, the lowest priced option of the bunch, has seen at least eight targets in each of his last five games, a streak that should continue in Week 11.

Bargain Bin (Under $5,000): Our favorite option here has to be Jakobi Meyers (NE at HOU, $4,900), who is criminally underpriced given his recent usage (10.3 targets in his last three games). This has to be a mistake by DraftKings, right?

DraftKings enthusiasts who need to go cheaper than Meyers could consider Michael Pittman, Jr. (IND vs. GB, $4,500), Jalen Reagor (PHI at CLE, $4,300), Denzel Mims (NYJ at LAC, $3,300), or Quintez Cephus (DET at CAR, $3,000). The latter should see a significant uptick in targets with both Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola sidelined.

Best Buy: Terry McLaurin (WAS vs. CIN, $6,900) has logged at least seven catches, 74 yards, and eight targets in each of his last four games, and scored in two of those contests. High floor aside, McLaurin is licking his chops against a Bengals defense that ranks in the bottom three in yards per game allowed to opposing fantasy wide receivers. Start him in every cash game lineup.
