It’s week 11 in the NFL. Here’s the NFL daily fantasy football lineup to play to win on Sunday, November 17, 2019.

Hey, y’all. It’s 1:00 in the morning after two full travel days, so I’m keeping this fantasy football piece brief.  I’m going, to be honest, I don’t love this slate, but here we are.

As always, my emphasis is primarily cash games, with an eye on getting into the money in tournaments. These plays are primarily valued for their high floors and low risk, although some of them have a chance to go off for big games.

I always play my own lineups. I will be playing this lineup, among others featuring a lot of the same players, on Sunday. This lineup is optimized for DraftKings’ salary in the 11-game Sunday slate. Don’t bet what you can’t afford to lose.

Okay, let’s do this.

QB | Drew Brees, $6,900, @ Tampa Bay

The Buccaneers’ pass defense is the worst in football, and these two teams score a lot of points when they play each other. Brees looked healthy a week ago; this looks like a high-floor safe play with a chance at some high numbers.

RB | Dalvin Cook, $8,900, vs. Denver

Think of him as slightly cheaper Christian McCaffrey. He’s averaging over 23 carries and five receptions per game each of the past three weeks, and the Broncos are terrible.

RB | Brian Hill, $4,800, @ Carolina

Run it back with a guy who will get a lot of looks with Devonta Freeman out. He’s not very involved in the passing game, but he had 20 carries last week. A touchdown in a high total game guarantees value.

WR | Michael Thomas, $9,900, @ Tampa Bay

Easy stack with Brees. He has 86 catches, more than twice as much as the next guy in the Saints’ offense, and they’re playing the worst pass defense in football.

WR | D.J. Moore, $5,900, vs. Atlanta

A high-target guy in a high total game. His style of play matches up well against the Falcons, who still struggle to contain his yards after the catch.

WR | Deebo Samuel, $4,000, @ San Francisco

The rookie will get more looks this week with George Kittle likely out and Emmanuel Sanders questionable. Check on Sunday morning, but Samuel has great value at his price if he gets those targets.

TE | T.J. Hockenson, $3,600, vs. Dallas

Dallas gives up a lot of points to tight ends, and Hockenson is consistently getting a few catches in just about every game. Low risk at his price, and with Jeff Driskel actually practicing with the first team this week, it stands to reason that he’ll get redzone looks.

FLEX | Dede Westbrook, $4,500, @ Indianapolis

He’s back and fully healthy, as is quarterback Nick Foles. This is a low-total game, but Westbrook consistently gets targets. Low-risk target share with decent touchdown equity. Got to make Cook and Thomas fit somehow.

Trending. The Lions should have Signed Colin Kaepernick in the Offseason. light

DST | Cardinals, $1,500, @ San Francisco

Cheapest defense on the slate, and at this price, it makes sense. The 49ers average 1.67 turnovers per game, and the Cardinals blitz 40% of the time, which will ideally create a couple of sacks. This looks like easy value as long as San Francisco doesn’t put up 40 points, which they likely won’t given the pace this game will probably be played at.
