Are you in search of some DFS picks on DraftKings for the Thursday Night Football (TNF) showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens?
Well, look no further! Ja’Marr Chase and Zay Flowers are only a few of my top DFS plays for the Week 11 contest on TNF. Let’s find some fantasy football wins before Sunday’s slate!
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Top TNF DFS Picks on DraftKings
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals ($16,500) – Captain
Chase was dealing with a back injury heading into the team’s matchup against the Houston Texans on Sunday, and the result was five receptions for 124 yards and a score. Chase has a tough matchup, but with Tee Higgins likely out for another week, it should be another game where Joe Burrow will have to rely on his elite receiver.
Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens ($7,600)
Flowers has cooled off a bit since his hot start to the season, but he is still a big part of this passing attack, which is evident by his five receptions for 73 yards against a very stingy Cleveland Browns defense last week.

He is still a dynamic playmaker after the catch and could give the Bengals corners some issues with the way they move Flowers around the formation.
Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals ($10,000)
Burrow has certainly turned the corner over the last five games of the NFL season, which is evident by him throwing 12 touchdown passes over that span. Burrow threw for 222 yards and two scores against the Ravens back in Week 2, which was back when he was still dealing with a calf injury. Now that Burrow is healthy, expect him to have another solid outing despite the tough matchup.
Trenton Irwin, WR, Cincinnati Bengals ($4,400)
Despite not being a household name, it has been WR Trenton Irwin who has benefitted the most from a fantasy perspective when Higgins has been out of the lineup.
He tallied eight receptions for 60 yards against the Arizona Cardinals back in Week 5 and managed to find pay dirt on one of his two receptions for 54 yards against the Texans on Sunday. Irwin is the pay-down option I like the most for the Bengals’ passing game.
Tanner Hudson, TE, Cincinnati Bengals ($2,600)
While I do like Irwin as a pay-down option, TE Tanner Hudson has been seeing enough work in recent weeks to be a viable DFS option for this slate.

His six receptions for 33 yards on seven targets is enough to get by as a pay-down starting option with Higgins out of the lineup. Just to give you some more confidence in this under-the-radar suggestion, he has also had four receptions for 45 yards on five targets two weeks ago. His usage and snap count over the last two games are encouraging enough for me to roll the dice on him at this price point.
Keaton Mitchell, RB, Baltimore Ravens ($5,600)
Speaking of rolling the dice, perhaps no player in this lineup has a wider range of outcomes than Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell. His 172 yards and two scores on the ground with just 12 carries over the last two games make him a very interesting play at this price point.
He may be a bit chalkier than some of the pay-down options for the Bengals, but his upside alone makes him a player that I want in my DFS lineup for this TNF primetime matchup.
