Week 11 Monday DFS Lineups: CeeDee Lamb, Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty and More
Morgan puts together DFS lineups for the Monday game between the Cowboys and Raiders.
We went over the top fantasy football options for the Monday night game between the Cowboys and Raiders, and now will be putting together DFS lineups for that contest.
The first DraftKings lineup will be a standard six-player one, with a captain and five flex spots. The second contest is a total yard lineup, so I will pick three players from tonight's game for that one.
Let's dive in!

DFS Lineup
Captain - Tre Tucker ($9,900)
There are a lot of really good fantasy options for tonight's game, but they are also pricey. I decided to save some salary and take a gamble on Tucker being the top fantasy asset tonight.
Even if he's not the top fantasy asset, him getting a 1.5 multiplier to his fantasy score could get the Raiders' receiver there. Him costing 1.5 times as much doesn't hurt my lineup as much as it would to take some of the other players who will be included in my lineup.
Tucker is averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game and has a stellar matchup against the Cowboys tonight. I think he could star in this one, and if he does, this DFS lineup will be in great shape.
Flex - CeeDee Lamb ($11,000)
Lamb is who I see as the top fantasy asset tonight, so I made sure to add him to my lineup, even though he's the most expensive player available.
He's averaging 16.6 fantasy points per contest so far, and has 14.6 or more in his three games since returning to the field.
His matchup is also great tonight, so I see him starring in a high-scoring affair.
Flex - George Pickens ($9,000)
I am going to cover myself in case Pickens and Lamb both shine tonight. They should be the top pass catchers for the Cowboys.
Pickens is averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game so far, so really, he's a great lineup option at his salary. He's scored 12.2, 14.8 and 13.9 fantasy points since Lamb returned, so I expect big things from him again tonight.
As long as Jake Ferguson doesn't shine in a tougher matchup, I'm set up pretty well if the Cowboys are moving the ball through the air.
Flex - Javonte Williams ($9,800)
Let's add the other big Dallas fantasy asset to the mix and grab the lead back in Williams.
He's averaged 18.2 fantasy points per game this season, and I expect good things from him tonight in a pretty average matchup.
Williams has only scored in single digits twice this season, but one of those was in the team's last game, so he's a bit of a risk. I see him and this offense moving the ball against the Raiders tonight though.
Flex - Brock Bowers ($8,000)
This pick seems like an easy one, but it also leaves me handcuffed for the last pick, so it was tough to make this call.
I decided on the starpower of a guy like Bowers instead of getting two guys around $5,000 each. Bowers is capable of leading the way in fantasy points, so it makes more sense to gamble on him.
He's averaging 16.1 fantasy points per game this season and has a pretty average matchup ahead. He scored 46.3 fantasy points in week 9, but just 3.7 in week 10, so I'm hoping he can at least hit his average mark this week.
Flex - Dont'e Thornton ($2,000)
I didn't want to include another Raiders' pass catcher in this lineup, but my options were limited, so I had to add Thornton.
He's averaging two fantasy points per game, but at least played a bit more with no Jakobi Meyers around last week. Hopefully he can factor in, and maybe surprise with a big play or touchdown grab.
In the super favorable matchup, he makes the most sense in this final lineup spot.
Total Yard Contest
Javonte Williams
I also like Williams for the total yardage contest.
He's averaged 89.9 total yards per game this season, and even in a below-average matchup, should be able to match or top that tonight.
I see him having the most total yards of any player tonight, but there's plenty of other options.
CeeDee Lamb
Lamb gets another spot in my lineup, as I think he will lead the Cowboys' pass catchers tonight.
He's averaging 82.2 yards per game so far, and in the favorable matchup, should produce plenty of yards tonight.
I expect him to be heavily involved and to deliver a big yardage total on volume alone. A big play or two would help too.
Ashton Jeanty
Jeanty is my third and final pick in the total yardage contest.
He's got a great matchup tonight, and could be the focal point of the Raiders' offense.
Jeanty is averaging 75.9 total yards per game so far, and I think he could go for 100+ tonight.
Final Thoughts
I like both my six-player lineup and the three I chose for the total yardage contest.
The six-player lineup is stacked with good/great fantasy assets, and with plenty of favorable matchups in there, I expect that lineup to score really well.
What would separate me with that lineup is a surprise showing from Thornton, or a really nice game from Tucker. Everyone else needs to deliver at their averages, at least.
For the total yardage contest, I think there's seven players you could choose from. I like the Lamb, Jeanty and Williams trio, but think Pickens, Bowers, Tucker and Ferguson are also options to try.
It means there's several combinations you could fire up, so if you think you can top my trio, join a DFS contest of your own and try to top me.
