The Week 11 NFL schedule comes to a close with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Houston Texans at AT&T Stadium on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET. Houston wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation heading into MNF and will be fully available. All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) is listed as questionable for Dallas. The NFL DFS player pool will still feature plenty of high-end talent with C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Tank Dell, Jake Ferguson, and Rico Dowdle likely going to be popular MNF NFL DFS picks. Should you build your NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks around any of the aforementioned players for Monday Night Football?
The Cowboys will once again turn to Cooper Rush at quarterback with Dak Prescott out for the season with a hamstring injury. Should Rush be considered a viable NFL DFS core play or should you fade the veteran backup?

Top NFL DFS picks for Texans vs. Cowboys on MNF
One of Kaylor’s top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. The 23-year-old quarterback is one of the brightest young stars in the game, and he is surrounded by an excellent supporting cast in Houston. He will get a huge boost with the return of wide receiver Nico Collins.
Stroud enters Monday averaging 237.1 passing yards per game. He has completed 62.9% of his pass attempts this season, and has thrown for 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. The Texans will be facing a defense that struggled to contain Philadelphia’s passing attack in Week 10. See who else to roster here.
Kaylor is also targeting Texans receiver Nico Collins in his Week 11 MNF DFS picks. Collins hasn’t played since Oct. 6, missing Houston’s last five games with a hamstring injury. The former Michigan standout was on pace to have a massive season before the injury, and still has a chance to go over 1,000 yards for the second straight year.
In five games this season, Collins has been targeted 45 times, catching 32 passes for 567 yards and three touchdowns. At 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds Collins is a physically imposing wide receiver, but he is also one of the top deep threats in the NFL today. Collins is averaging 17.7 yards per catch and 113.4 yards per game this season. See who else Kaylor likes right here.
