Daily Fantasy Football News and Notes FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 11 11/20/16

In this article, we'll be breaking down the top news around the league and provide you with an analysis of what we expect to happen. We will also provide you with an "every lineup guy" section, just like we did for baseball. As always, these picks are informed by our lineup optimizer, the NFL spread for each contest, year to date NFL stats, and so on. So let's welcome football back into our lives, and let's get this show on the show on the road!

Check out our  NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.

A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there!

"Chalk Plays"

Le'veon Bell(PIT) vs. CLE

Last weeks "chalk play" was David Johnson, but this week it's Le'veon Bell. Similar to Johnson, Bell is going to cost you a pretty penny. If you're playing cash games, I recommend using that pretty penny you've been saving on him. Not only does he have a gorgeous matchup against a Browns' defense that can't stop the run, but Bell also has tremendous upside. We've seen what he can do with his hands and his legs and I'm expecting him to hit twenty fantasy points with ease this week.

There is no real cheap guy this week that I see heavily owned, so don't expect to see a ton of similar lineups (besides Bell). And if you don't want to use Bell, you could pivot to DeMarco Murray, LeSean McCoy, LeGarrette Blount (should be pretty highly owned) and/or Spencer Ware.
