NFL DFS Week 11 has finally arrived and it’s time to talk strategy. Stacking a quarterback with one of more of his pass catchers provides a solid way to add upside to a daily fantasy football lineup. With Week 11 offering a full slate of games, here are a few NFL DFS stacks worth considering on the main slate. Part of the selection process for these picks comes from analyzing Awesemo’s top stacks tool for Week 11 for NFL DFS on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

NFL DFS Top Stacks for Week 11 on DraftKings + FanDuel
Top Stack: Houston Texans
Coming in as the top stack of Week 11, the Houston Texans find themselves in a potential shootout against the New England Patriots. With a rising total, bookmakers currently project this game to put up 49-points. Houston comes in as 1.5-point home underdogs. After a game that was negatively affected by the weather, the Awesemo top stacks tool points to a bounce-back opportunity for the entire Houston passing attack, making them our top NFL DFS stack of the week.
So far this year, Watson completed 68.1% of his passes for 8.4 yards per pass attempt. Both marks rank inside the top ten, with his yards per attempt sitting at two overall. Improving the DFS potential, Watson has crested 300 yards passing four times already this season. The New England Patriots’ secondary has sharply regressed from their 2019 success. As a defensive unit, they currently allow the second-most yards per pass attempt in the entire NFL (8.2). With a dropping price, Watson provides comes in as a value in a Houston stack.
As for stacking options, Brandin Cooks stands out as the top value. Since Bill O’Brien‘s firing he has moved ahead of Will Fuller in most major receiving categories. However, both receivers remain extremely involved and account for nearly 45% of the team’s yards receiving so far this season. With both coming in at affordable prices, the Houston stack provides access to upside at an affordable price on the DraftKings and FanDuel Week 11 DFS slate.

Top Stack: Green Bay Packers
In another week appearing near the top of the Awesemo top stacks tool, the Green Bay find themselves as 1.5-point underdogs in a game totaled at 51.5-points. With this total leading the slate, Green Bay possesses a clear path to a shootout in this spot. Commanding an offense that ranks third in overall points per game (30.8), Rodgers possesses a variety of stacking options.
Looking first at Rodgers, the longtime Packers’ signal caller has experienced somewhat of a career resurgence and a significant uptick in his popularity with NFL DFS gamers. Rodgers currently completes 67.8% of his passes for 8.2 yards per attempt. This yards per attempt mark ranks among the top five in the NFL and has led Rodgers to four 300-yard passing outing so far this year. Indianapolis only allows 6.3 yards per attempt, but they’ve only faced one quarterback who ranks inside the top-10 in overall yards passing to date.
Digging into stacks, Davante Adams stands out as the clear top option in this passing attack. Adams sits with a 34.6% target share and at least ten targets in his last five games. In fact, Adams averages an absurd 13 targets per game over his last four contests. As for the ancillary options, Allen Lazard looks likely to make his return, adding an additional weapon to Rodgers’ arsenal. Between Adams, Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and even Robert Tonyan, the Packers stack looks solid ahead of the Week 11 DFS main slate.

Leverage: 8.2%
Value Stack: Atlanta Falcons
For those looking at value options, the Atlanta Falcons present an intriguing opportunity with quarterback Matt Ryan available at a discounted price. Not only that, but most of the ownership projects to hit the Saint’s side of this game, potentially providing leverage.
As for the game environment, the Falcons find themselves as 3.5-point underdogs in a game totaled at 49-points. Despite the team’s overall struggles, Ryan still completes 67.2% of his passes for an efficient 8.0 yards per pass attempt, keeping the team relevant for daily fantasy football. The opposing Saints’ 6.6 yards per pass attempt ranks in the middle of the pack in the NFL. Ryan already has three 300-yard passing outings this season and hasn’t fallen below 226 yards in an individual contest.
As for stacking options, Calvin Ridley looks set to make his return to the lineup after missing a game with a foot injury. Working alongside Julio Jones, the pair make for one of the top pass catching tandems in the NFL. With Ryan coming in as a value, stacking either – or both, in some situations – makes sense with significant value available elsewhere. For those taking a contrarian approach on DraftKings specifically, Hayden Hurst provides a strong correlation with Ryan at a rough tight end position. With clear run-back options on the other side, the Falcons stack provides leverage and value across NFL DFS slates this weekend.
