Fantasy Start 'Ems, Sit 'Ems Week 11: Start Dak Prescott, sit Kirk Cousins, and more fantasy advice heading into a huge weekend

Week 11 opponent: at Minnesota Vikings

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,600 / FanDuel — $7,500

Why you should start him: Despite the Vikings' 8-1 record, their defense is giving opposing offenses quite a lot to work with, allowing 381.2 yards per game, 29th in the league. In his last game against the Vikings, Dak Prescott went off for 397 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Dallas Cowboys

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,100 / FanDuel — $7,600

Why you should sit him: Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense did just enough to squeak past the Bills last week, but it feels like a hangover game is on the horizon. The Cowboys defense leads the NFL in sacks, and could make this a long day for Cousins and company.

Week 11 opponent: at Atlanta Falcons

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,100 / FanDuel — $6,200

Why you should start him: With fellow running back Khalil Herbert out with injury, Sunday sets up to be a huge day for David Montgomery, who will be taking the lion's share of the carries out of the Chicago backfield for a team that is running the ball at an historic rate.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Washington Commanders

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,500 / FanDuel — $7,600

Why you should sit him: Dameon Pierce has been a rookie sensation for fantasy players this year, but this might not be the best week to play him. Washington has held opponents to less than 100 yards on the ground in three of their last four outings, including holding the Packers to just 38 rushing yards.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Cleveland Browns

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,800 / FanDuel — $6,400

Why you should start him: The Buffalo Bills have hit at least 100 yards rushing in every game so far this season. Last week, Devin Singletary found the end zone twice for his first two touchdowns of the year. Given the turnover trouble Josh Allen had last week at two key moments, there's a good chance Singletary gets some more work in the red zone to ensure the Bills keep hold of the ball.

Week 11 opponent: at New York Giants

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,100 / FanDuel — $6,700

Why you should sit him: D'Andre Swift has rushed for a total of 22 yards over his past three games. While he's made up a little bit of his missing production in the Lions' passing game, he is not an important enough player in the Detroit offense, as it is currently constructed, to trust in your lineup.

Week 11 opponent: at Minnesota Vikings

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $7,500 / FanDuel — $8,100

Why you should start him: Last week, I suggested people sit CeeDee Lamb. I thought a hungry Packers defense would come to grind out a slog of a win at Lambeau Field. Lamb finished the day as WR1, with 150 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Whoops. My bad there. I don't want to miss him having another monster day, and he feels like a worthwhile stack option to pair with Prescott for daily fantasy players.

Week 11 opponent: at Buffalo Bills

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,400 / FanDuel — $7,200

Why you should sit him: Playing at home this season, Amari Cooper has cleared 100 yards receiving in three of his five games. On the road, however, Cooper hasn't had more than 75 yards in a game, and has been held below 20 twice. While this game is no longer being played in between mountains of snow in Buffalo, it's still a road game for Cooper and the Browns.

Week 11 opponent: at Pittsburgh Steelers

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $7,100 / FanDuel — $7,600

Why you should start him: Back in Week 1, the Bengals got stunned by the Steelers, with Pittsburgh winning in a 23-20 shocker. Since then, the Steelers have fallen apart, and the Bengals appear to have found their footing. Cincinnati should be eager for some revenge against their divisional rival, and with wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase likely still sidelined, Tee Higgins is the top man in the Bengals receiving corps.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,100 / FanDuel — $6,700

Why you should sit him: While the Colts' decision to return to quarterback Matt Ryan was a spark for the team's passing game, I don't think it holds on for a second-straight week. The Eagles' defense just got pantsed by the Commanders and is looking to make a statement. And given the success that Washington had running the ball on the Eagles, the Colts will likely head into the game with a Jonathan Taylor-centric game plan anyway.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Cleveland Browns

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,300 / FanDuel — $7,100

Why you should start him: Gabe Davis had a season-high 10 targets and six receptions against the Vikings last week. Against a Cleveland Browns defense that is the worst in the league when it comes to giving up big passing plays, he could be in for a huge day.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,800 / FanDuel — $6,300

Why you should sit him: It feels like Diontae Johnson has to have a big day coming soon, but I'm done waiting for it to happen. Johnson has still not scored a touchdown all season and has not had more than five receptions in a game since Week 3.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Washington Commanders

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $4,100 / FanDuel — $5,900

Why you should start him: Nico Collins got a season-high 10 targets for the Texans last week. That's a lot of upside for a player that's available at this cheap of a price in daily fantasy.

Week 11 opponent: vs. New York Jets

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,500 / FanDuel — $6,500

Why you should sit him: This Patriots-Jets game feels like it will be defined by the rushing attack of both teams, keeping the clock moving. I'm not sure how much opportunity there will be for Jakobi Meyers to make a play, and how many plays he'll be able to make against the Jets defense when the ball does come his way.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $3,800 / FanDuel — $5,500

Why you should start him: The Raiders are giving up some big games to opposing tight ends, and rookie tight end Greg Dulcich is getting plenty of looks in the Denver offense. This game could be a shootout, and I think Dulcich finds the end zone.

Week 11 opponent: at New Orleans Saints

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $4,000 / FanDuel — $6,200

Why you should sit him: This is a tough call. On one hand, with Cooper Kupp out for the Rams, there's a good chance that Tyler Higbee sees an increased role in the Los Angeles passing game. On the other hand, no team in the NFL has allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing tight ends than the Saints, and the Rams' offense, with or without Kupp, has flat-out stunk this season. I'm betting against them.

Week 11 opponent: at Atlanta Falcons

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $2,600 / FanDuel — $3,700

Why you should start them: These two teams run the ball more than any two teams in the NFL. This game should fly by, with not a ton of points scored. For daily fantasy players, at $2,600, the Bears should leave you with plenty of extra spending cash to use across the rest of your lineup.

Week 11 opponent: vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Daily fantasy price: DraftKings — $3,500 / FanDuel — $3,900

Why you should sit him: The Raiders are a train wreck, but it still feels like their offense is a sleeping giant that could break out for a 40-point game on any given Sunday. I'm not going to risk it, and certainly not going to overpay for a Broncos defense that while solid, has been extremely overworked this year.
