DraftKings Main Slate for Week 11 - Defense/Special Teams (DST)

Pittsburgh Steelers vs BAL:

Pittsburgh Steelers - $2500

The #Steelers aren't ideal, but if you want to take a shot with a low-priced defense, they have scored 8+ in four of the last five weeks and 11+ in three of the last five weeks. The #Ravens haven't allowed a single defense above 4 points, but the rivalry and home-field advantage for Pittsburgh is the appeal, as the #Steelers scored 12 and 18 points against the #Ravens last season. #Steelers

Green Bay Packers - $3500

The #Packers' defense is a likely favorite option against the poor-playing #Bears, who allowed 12 and 16 points in the last two weeks. The #Packers scored 5 points or fewer in the previous three weeks but had a solid stretch, including 10 points in Weeks 5 and 6. Since 2019, GB has scored 6+ points against the #Bears, including 9 and 15 points last season. #Packers

The Jameis effect arrived last week, allowing the #Chargers to score 18 points. While the #Browns have limited production to 6 points or fewer in four weeks, they've allowed 13+ points in five games this season. Solid price to build around or fall to. #Saints

Jacksonville Jaguars vs DET:

Jacksonville Jaguars - $2200

While they've been promoted over the last two weeks, oddly, the #Jaguars' defense has found a way to hit 10 and 11 points against the #Eagles and the #Vikings, scoring 9+ points in three of the last four games. It seems less likely against the #Lions, but I'm sure the same was stated with the previous two matchups. For a low price, if you love the build, I'd take a shot, especially since the #Lions allowed 10 points to the #Texans last week. #Jaguars

New York Jets vs IND:

New York Jets - $2800

The #Jets' defense only scored 14 points against the #Texans two weeks ago while landing 2 points or fewer in four of the last five weeks. The appeal is the matchup against the #Colts, who allowed 10, 11, and 19 points over the previous three weeks. It's not something I'm after, but it's not a bad place to land with a nice build. #Jets

Detroit Lions vs JAX:

If you can afford a defense, the likely favorite is the #Lions, who have a floor of 5+ points across five weeks, 8+ points in four weeks, and 16+ points in two weeks. Since the #Jaguars lost Trevor Lawrence, they've scored 8 and 13 points in the last two weeks. It's not a must-have, but getting here would be nice. #Lions

The #Dolphins' defense has primarily been quiet, although scoring 9 points last week, but the matchup against the #Raiders lands them as the best matchup. The #Raiders have allowed 8+ points since Week 4, including 11-17 points from Week 4 to 7. Fairly priced for a shot. #Dolphins

While the #Vikings are playing well, Sam Darnold is turning the ball over, which allowed 11 and 16 points in the last two weeks. The #Titans have dudded with 0 points in three of the previous four weeks but found 11 points against the #Patriots in Week 9. This is a long shot, but when paying 2.3k for a defense, that's what you're looking for. #Titans

Los Angeles Rams vs NE:

Los Angeles Rams - $3200

The #Rams' defense has quietly been a top-tier defense, scoring 6+ points in the last five weeks, 10+ points in three weeks, and 17+ in two weeks. They face the #Patriots, who have limited defenses to 4 points or fewer in two of the last three weeks. While that would likely arrive with concern, it was against the #Jets and the #Bears, who have endured their own challenges. Outside of those games and Week 1, the #Patriots have allowed 6+ since Week 2, including 9+ in six weeks and 11+ in four weeks. It's a solid price, but I hate that it's on the East Coast. #Rams
