The Steelers head to LA to take on the Chargers in the Week 11 edition of Sunday Night Football. Both teams are subject to injury/unavailability. Ben Roethlisberger remains uncertain about Sunday night as he will need to clear the league’s COVID protocols. Meanwhile, it will be a race against time for Joey Bosa and Jerry Tillery, who are placed on the COVID reserve this week. Either way, there’s still a lot of stud and value to FanDuel’s single-game lineups, so do your best to make some winning DFS picks.
Here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel’s single game competitions: The total score for “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost him any extra money like “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown competitions. FanDuel’s default score is Half point PPR and TDs pass four points, and have are not bonuses for 300 yard / 100 yard matches as on DraftKings.
OTHER FD ONLY GAME: How to win a FanDuel game contest
FanDuel Single Game Choice DFS: Steelers vs. Chargers
$60,000 budget, need at least one player from each team
MVP (1.5x points) RB Najee Harris, Steelers ($15,000)
Harris has been capped at 15.3 FanDuel points per game in his previous two games, the lowest output he has produced since Week 1. If the past two weeks represent Harris’s floor, we’ll lock him into our “MVP” spot without a second thought.. He’s handling 48.7% of Steelers’ offensive touches, and the Charger is a bad defense. league worst per DVOA and dash yards per game. The stage was set up for a big performance.
FLEX RB Austin Ekeler, Charger ($14,000)
Ekeler is enjoying a dominant season, and despite some disappointments over the past month – 9.7 FD Week 9 points against Philadelphia, 7.5 FD Week 6 points vs Baltimore – he is still an object. fixed in our DFS lineup. He’s got 20 points more performances than games where he hasn’t hit doubles, so we’re very excited about him even against the trademark defence.
ADD SNF DFS: DraftKings lineup
FLEX WR Mike Williams, Charger ($11,000)
The defense has made a more coordinated effort to cover Williams, and he has been limited to 21 goals in the past four games. We might not want to pin our hopes on a 10x+ look, but he offers the highest ceiling of any Chargers receiver. He has posted two games with over 100 yards and two touchdowns this season. He’s more volatile than Keenan Allen ($12,500), but he’s cheaper and more explosive under FanDuel’s half-PPR setting.
WEEK 11 USE DFS: DraftKings | FanDuel | Yahoo!
FLEX WR Chase Claypool, Steelers ($10,000)
Claypool is a gamble here as he is dealing with a “weekly” toe injury, but we’re looking for the best burst for our money. Claypool hasn’t had the season we expected, but he’s proven his ability to deal damage in the reds in his short career. The Steelers’ pass attack is sketchy (at best), so we’d like that Claypool be able to deal damage without necessarily needing a ton of mass – at least in theory.
WEEK 11 DFS: The best stack | Best value | Squad Builder
FLEX TE Pat Freiermuth, Steelers ($9,500)
Freiermuth turned nine season-high goals into just 3.6 FD points against the Lions last week. That is his lowest output since Week 5. We still love the 29 goals he has drawn in the past four games and his three touchdowns in that span. He’s fourth on the Steelers in terms of goals overall and is a good bet to stand out in Sunday’s game.
