Week 10 was wrapped up with a Miami Dolphins road win over the Rams, and just like that Week 11 is upon us. DraftKings has yet another millionaire contest this weekend, and there are 11 games to choose from on Sunday’s main slate. Picking the right quarterback/wide receiver duo can make or break your lineup, and this week I have compiled my four favorites. Without further ado, below are my four favorite stacks for this weekend’s slate

4. Lamar Jackson ($8,000)/ Zay Flowers ($6,900), Ravens at Steelers
Lamar Jackson has been a cheat code in fantasy scoring this season, and he is coming off the second-best performance of the season in Week 10, where he threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns, resulting in 32.9 FPTS. He leads all players in FPTS scoring this season. What was surprising last week was that he did not get his main wide receiver, Zay Flowers, the ball. Flowers leads the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards. However, last week he only recorded 4 catches for 34 yards.
This was an unusually quiet performance from Flowers, and I expect him to bounce back this week. He ranks eighth among all receivers in DraftKings fantasy scoring, averaging 15.3 FPTS per game. Despite the down performance in Week 10, Flowers still ranks 5th in the NFL in receiving yards. Although the Steelers present a tough matchup in Week 11, I still believe this duo will bounce back.
3. Jared Goff ($6,300)/ Amon-Ra St. Brown ($8,000), Jaguars at Lions
Despite having a down year for his standards, Amon-Ra St. Brown is still the second most expensive receiver on this week’s slate. The Lions take on the Jaguars in Week 11, and Jacksonville gives up the third most FPTS to opposing quarterbacks, and the sixth most to opposing receivers. This is a great matchup for this duo, and I believe they will capitalize in a big way. Despite ranking 23rd in the NFL in receiving yards this season, St. Brown has scored the 7th most FPTS among receivers. His seven touchdown receptions this season have a lot to do with that, and only Ja’Marr Chase has more receiving touchdowns than him this season.
As for his quarterback, Jared Goff, he is coming off his worst performance of the season. Goff threw 5 interceptions in Week 10 against the Texans, but Houston presents a much tougher challenge defensively. This is a great bounce-back spot for Goff, who has been average in fantasy scoring this season. He ranks 16th among all quarterbacks in fantasy scoring, averaging 17.1 FPTS per game. I expect both Goff and St.Brown to have some of their best performances of the season on Sunday.
2. Sam Darnold ($6,100)/ Justin Jefferson ($8,600), Vikings at Titans
These two have been one of the best duos in the NFL so far this season, but are coming off one of their worst performances of the season. Although the Vikings won in Week 10 against the Jaguars, it was not because of Darnold or Jefferson. Despite this, I am running it back with these two this weekend. There is too much upside with the Darnold to Jefferson connection to leave them off the list. Jefferson is second among all receivers in FPTS and has played one less game than every other top-five receiver.
As for Darnold, I look forward to him getting back on track with a big performance against the struggling Titans. His 17 touchdown passes so far this season are tied for fourth-best in the league. If these two can connect for a couple of scores on Sunday, it could be a very big day for your fantasy lineup.
1. Russell Wilson ($5,900)/George Pickens ($7,000), Ravens at Steelers
I bet you did not expect to see these two on the list, never mind in the top spot. Well, here they are. Wilson and Pickens deserve this spot and they have everything that you look for in a stack for Week 11. Since Wilson entered the lineup, not only has he been excellent, but so has Pickens. Pickens has had three of his best performances all season since Wilson entered the lineup. He has at least four receptions and 74 yards in all three games and scored two touchdowns as well. The Wilson-to-Pickens connection has been humming, and I don’t see why that would stop in Week 11.
The Steelers have a great matchup in Week 11, as the Ravens give up the second most FPTS to opposing quarterbacks and the most to opposing receivers. These two could not have a better matchup, and with their recent track record together, this play becomes a no-brainer. Wilson has also been effective in FPTS scoring, as his 19.6 per game is 8th among qualified quarterbacks. Wilson and Pickens are in line for another big game on Sunday.
