This is a one-game DraftKings showdown on Friday, 10/30, with BAY visiting UCF. Lock is 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT). The captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, and the cap is $50,000.
One note up front: our model has not built projections for this slate, so there is no model lineup to offer. What we do have are DraftKings averages, and they are the basis for everything below.
The top of the averages belongs to BAY. Gavin Freeman leads all players at 21.4 at $9,600, and Nate Bennett is next at 20.2 for $9,000. DJ Lagway averages 19.8 but costs $10,200, the highest salary among the players listed. On UCF's side, Keyone Jenkins averages 16.5 at $9,800, which is a steep price for the number.
For savings, Louis Brown IV of BAY averages 10.6 at $7,200, the cheapest of the top eight by average. Alonza Barnett III is the lowest-priced quarterback listed at $8,800 and averages 14.5, but he carries a Q tag from DraftKings. UCF's Josh Derry ($8,000, 13.0) and Duke Watson ($8,400, 12.8) fill out the middle tier. Check the tags before lock, since Taevion Swint (UCF) and Ashton Jones (BAY) are both listed as OUT, while Dawson Pendergrass (BAY), Duane Thomas Jr. (UCF) and Caleb Rollerson (UCF) are tagged P or Q.
We have no ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
The pricing makes captain choices expensive. Because the captain costs 1.5x salary, a pricey captain eats a large share of the $50,000 cap, and with Bennett and Lagway both BAY quarterbacks, the roster will likely carry plenty of BAY exposure either way.
Lock is Friday, 10/30, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
