Bender's Favorite NFL DFS Pickem Picks: Week 11

NFL Week 11 is here and we couldn’t be more excited. Why? Because it’s another fantastic opportunity to build that bankroll and win some money playing DFS Pickem contests. And we are on quite the heater right now, aren’t we? While Quinshon Judkins fell seven yards short of giving us another clean sweep, we dropped in a few other picks that made us some decent money. Our Pick of the Week, Jaxson Dart easily cleared his rushing yards line before he left the game with a concussion and both tight ends, Juwan Johnson and Cade Otton delivered us the Promised Land with ease.

Now, if you only played all four picks together, it was a loss, but stacking these props two at a time and then trying out the four-legger left you winning. I paired up each pick with Dart and then paired up the tight ends. Just because you’re not 10x-ing your money all in one fell swoop doesn’t mean you aren’t earning. Trust me when I say, slow and steady wins the race.

Enough of that. Let’s get to this week’s picks.

If you are new to the DFS Pickem format, allow me to help you along because it’s really quite easy. All you do is make your picks for players to produce more or less than their designated stat-line and if you are right, you can earn up to 40 times your wager (minimum wager of $1). Pick correctly for two players and you will 3x your money. Three correct picks will get you a 6x return, four is 10x and so on, up to 40x for six correct picks. You should give a look at the full contest rules, but that’s the gist of it for how to play.

Again, since I’m going to be taking down that top prize in the Beat Howard Bender Best Ball Tournament, I thought I’d give back to the community each week with some DFS Pickem picks. I do a substantial amount of the NFL betting content and a lot of DFS content on Fantasy Alarm, so I am always diving into the match-ups and player stat lines. Why not turn that into some cold, hard cash so you can afford to play me in season-long contests again next year?

Let’s get to it!

Pick of the Week:

Michael Wilson, WR ARI -- MORE than 44.5 Receiving Yards

With Marvin Harrison Jr. needing an emergency appendectomy this week, the Arizona Cardinals are in need of a wide receiver to step up and serve as their top guy. We know Tret McBride is the first-look typically, but Jacoby Brissett is going to need someone who can go across the middle and be able to stretch the field vertically. Wilson steps in as that guy. The 49ers pass defense ranks 25^th in DVOA and is allowing an average of 60 receiving yards per game to the opposition’s top wideout. They are also allowing opposing quarterbacks to post a 105.1 passer rating, so they’ve been wildly efficient against them. This number is too low, especially if people are thinking the Cardinals could be playing from behind at some point. Lock Wilson in.

Other Favorite Week 10 Picks:

Oronde Gadsden II, TE LAC – MORE than 50.5 Receiving Yards
Woody Marks, RB HOU – MORE than 79.5 Rush + Rec Yards
Joe Flacco, QB CIN – MORE than 1.5 Passing TDs
