Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season wraps up tonight with a showdown featuring the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Las Vegas Raiders. Dallas enters as a 3.5-point road favorite, with an over/under of 50.5. The Cowboys are fresh off their bye week and looking to climb back into the NFC playoff hunt. Meanwhile, the Raiders are simply trying to end a three-game losing streak and get back into the win column.
Below, we will take a look at the best DFS plays for this Monday night showdown.
Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $12,800, CPT $19,200)
Prescott returns to action tonight and any hopes of him floating around the MVP conversation were snuffed out with back-to-back dud performances against the Broncos and Cardinals prior to the bye week. Still, the veteran has effectively operated one of the league’s best offensive attacks this season and still ranks in the top 10 in several categories among starting QB’s. He’s averaging 20.1 fantasy points in DFS this season and has three games of topping 26 points.
With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, I’d expect Prescott to come out of the bye laser focused tonight and motivated to light up one of the league’s worst teams. Even with a heavy price point, he should be worthy of a captain’s spot this evening.
Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $12,200, CPT $18,300)
Williams has also been a vital piece of the Dallas offense and is well on track for his first 1,000-yard season of his pro career. The fifth-year veteran has pleased DFS managers with 16.6 fantasy points per game and has been one of the more impactful rushers in the entire league this season. His 5.2 yards per carry ranks fifth in the league heading into tonight’s matchup and he’s one of just 10 running backs with at least 100 carries and a positive rushing EPA this season.
Tonight’s matchup could be a little tricky for Williams as the Raiders have actually been effective at stalling opposing tailbacks on the ground. However, they have also given up 12 rushing touchdowns total this year, so the Cowboys running back can really make his mark on scoring opportunities in the red zone.
Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $9,600, CPT $14,400)
Bowers caught just one reception for 31 yards in the Raiders’ ugly 10-7 loss to the Broncos last week, but his three-touchdown day against the Jaguars the week prior is a reminder that total dominance is always a possibility when he steps on the field. The second-year All-Pro is getting back into a groove after missing three weeks due to a knee injury and his presence could help boost a struggling Raiders offense down the stretch.
As for tonight’s game, he’s going up against a Cowboys defense that ranks 25th in defensive DVOA vs. opposing tight ends, allowing them to haul in 54.3 receiving yards per game. Throw in their pass defense struggles as a whole and there’s a strong chance that Bowers can really eat in primetime tonight.
Tyler Lockett, WR, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $5,200, CPT $7,800)
Lockett led the team in receiving in last Thursday’s loss to the Broncos, catching five of six targets for 44 yards. The 33-year-old vet showed that he still has some gas left in the tank and the struggling Raiders will need all the help they can get if they want to have a respectable finish to what has been a miserable season so far. The Cowboys are actually giving up 54.1 yards per game to opposing WR2’s, so there’s a chance we get another decent showing out of Lockett tonight.
Michael Mayer, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (FLEX $4,200, CPT $6,300)
Mayer has still gotten plenty of looks since Bowers returned a few weeks ago, combining for 11 targets over the past few weeks. With the recently acquired Quinnen Williams now providing pressure up front for the Cowboys, Geno Smith will need some quick, easy options over the middle to offset that and that’s where Mayer could step up. I’d take a flier on him as a cheap Flex option in your lineups.
Ryan Flournoy, WR, Dallas Cowboys (FLEX $2,600, CPT $3,900)
It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle when you’re behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in the pecking order and that’s been the case with Flournoy as he has just 10 combined targets over his last four outings. The upside for tonight is that he’s going up against a Raiders defense that is yielding an average of 56.2 yards per game to opposing WR3’s, so there’s a chance that he can put together a quality outing at Allegiant Stadium this evening.
