Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season wraps up tonight with a matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys are entering as 3.5-point favorites on the road, with an over/under set at 50.5. After taking a bye week, Dallas aims to get back into the NFC playoff race, while the Raiders are simply trying to snap a three-game losing streak and secure a win.
Let’s take a look at some standout DFS picks for the game.
Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $12,800, CPT $19,200)
Prescott is back in action tonight, although his MVP dreams took a hit after disappointing outings against the Broncos and Cardinals prior to the bye. Still, he’s been steering one of the top offenses this season. He ranks among the top 10 QBs in several metrics and is averaging 20.1 fantasy points in DFS, with three games exceeding 26 points.
With playoff aspirations at stake, expect Prescott to be focused tonight and ready to capitalize on facing one of the weaker teams. While he’s pricey, he’s definitely worth considering as a captain this evening.
Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $12,200, CPT $18,300)
Williams is a key player in Dallas’ offensive scheme and is on track for his first career 1,000-yard season. This fifth-year back has been a pleasant surprise for DFS players, averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game, establishing himself as one of the top rushers in the league. His 5.2 yards per carry places him fifth in the NFL heading into tonight’s contest, boasting a lot of positive numbers this season.
This matchup might prove challenging for him, as the Raiders have been decent at limiting opposing running backs. However, Dallas might find effective scoring chances inside the red zone against a Raiders defense that has allowed 12 rushing touchdowns this year.
Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $9,600, CPT $14,400)
Bowers had a quiet game last week, with just one reception for 31 yards in a loss to the Broncos, but he showcased his potential with three touchdowns the week prior against the Jaguars. Now back after a three-week hiatus due to a knee injury, his return could provide a much-needed lift to the Raiders’ offense.
In tonight’s game, he’s up against the Cowboys’ defense, which has struggled against tight ends, allowing an average of 54.3 receiving yards per game. Bowers could have a strong showing under the lights tonight.
Tyler Lockett, WR, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $5,200, CPT $7,800)
Lockett led the wide receiving corps last Thursday, catching five of six passes for 44 yards. At 33, he’s proving he still has something to offer, which is vital for the struggling Raiders as they navigate a tough season. The Cowboys have allowed an average of 54.1 yards per game to opposing WR2s, making it plausible for Lockett to deliver a solid performance tonight.
Michael Mayer, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $4,200, CPT $6,300)
Mayer has continued to attract attention since Bowers returned, accumulating 11 targets over recent games. With Quinnen Williams adding pressure to the Cowboys’ defensive line, Geno Smith may look for quick, reliable options in the middle—and that’s where Mayer could step in. I’d consider him a worthwhile budget pick for your lineup.
Ryan Flournoy, WR, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $2,600, CPT $3,900)
Flournoy often gets overlooked, sitting behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, leading to just 10 targets in his past four games. However, given tonight’s matchup against the Raiders’ defense, which has averaged 56.2 yards per game against opposing WR3s, there’s potential for him to have a standout game at Allegiant Stadium.
