With 10 weeks of the 2024 NFL season behind us, the excitement is palpable! As we gear up for another thrilling 14-game slate, it’s time to dive into the world of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS). This week, we bring you our top sleepers and value plays that could help you snag some serious wins on DraftKings, FanDuel, and SuperDraft.

Looking Ahead to Week 11
Let’s bounce back and unveil our Week 11 DFS sleepers and value picks. We’ll highlight the most affordable high-value options at each position, along with their costs or scoring boosts on each DFS site. With only two weeks until Thanksgiving, it’s time to make some pie money!
Best NFL DFS sleepers for Week 11: Quarterback
Jared Goff, Lions vs. Jaguars (DK: $6,300 | FD: $8,300 | SD: 1.2x)
Goff had a rough outing against the Texans last week, but expect a bounce-back performance against a Jaguars defense that has struggled against quarterbacks. Only two teams have allowed more fantasy points to QBs than Jacksonville. With Goff averaging over 17 DK points per game, he’s a solid play this week!
Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins vs. Raiders (DK: $6,000 | FD: $8,000 | SD: 1.25x)
Tua is heating up, and so are his pass-catchers. Facing a Raiders defense that has given up over 30 points per game in their last five contests, Tua is poised for a big day.
Best NFL DFS sleepers for Week 11: Running back
Nick Chubb, Browns at Saints (DK: $6,000 | FD: $6,200 | SD: 1.35x)
Chubb is ready to shine in this matchup. The Saints have allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs this season. Coming off a bye week, Chubb will be fresh and eager to make an impact.
David Montgomery, Lions vs. Jaguars (DK: $6,500 | FD: $8,100 | SD: 1.25x)
Montgomery has been a touchdown machine and should continue that trend against the Jaguars. With a solid floor and high ceiling, he’s a must-start this week.
Best NFL DFS sleepers for Week 11: Wide receiver
Courtland Sutton, Broncos vs. Falcons (DK: $5,900 | FD: $6,800 | SD: 1.25x)
Sutton has bounced back impressively after a quiet week. He’s the most talented player on the Broncos’ offense and has a favorable matchup against a generous Falcons defense.
Jauan Jennings, 49ers vs. Seahawks (DK: $5,300 | FD: $6,200 | SD: 1.35x)
Jennings is emerging as a key target for the 49ers. After a solid performance last week, he’s a great value play at these prices.
Best NFL DFS sleepers for Week 11: Tight end
Jonnu Smith, Dolphins vs. Raiders (DK: $3,800 | FD: $5,100 | SD: 1.5x)
Smith has been on fire lately, making him a great option to stack with Tua. The Raiders have struggled against tight ends, making this a prime opportunity for Smith to shine.
Best NFL DFS sleepers for Week 11: D/ST
Miami Dolphins vs. Raiders (DK: $3,000 | FD: $4,300)
The Dolphins are finally living up to expectations and face a struggling Raiders team. This matchup could yield big points for Miami’s defense.
As we head into Week 11, remember that finding value is key to your DFS success. Let’s make this week one to remember!
