FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 11: Quarterbacks

Tom Brady may be the highest projected fantasy scorer again this week, but there are some other quarterbacks at a better value.

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 11:

Top tier

Tom Brady is the top projected quarterback yet again. He’s scored at least two touchdowns in every game with at least 275 passing yards, too. He had a season-high 466 passing yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, so he’s certainly a strong play at home. If you want to save some money, Derek Carr gets a nice matchup against the Detroit Lions, who are the third-best matchup for fantasy quarterbacks.

Bargains

If you want to go away from Carr as a bargain, there are some other solid plays. Alex Smith gets a struggling San Diego Chargers defense. He’s just $6,200 and could have some upside for a tournament lineup. If you want to get wild, Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler has a good matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Elite players with subpar matchups

Aaron Rodgers is a little banged up, which makes sense based on how he wasn’t himself on Sunday. You might not want to go with him this week, but Rodgers ins’t the worst contrarian play. He is Aaron Rodgers after all. Cam Newton also isn’t the strongest play.
