The Saturday 10/31 main slate runs 12 games on DraftKings, from ARIZ @ TTU to SCAR @ OU, with a $50,000 salary cap. Lock is Sat 10/31 at 12:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. PT).
One note up front: our projections are not built for this slate. There are no model projections, ownership figures or optimal lineup to share. What we can offer is the highest DraftKings averages on the board, which show who has produced most at each price.
Quarterbacks lead the way. Gio Lopez (WAKE) tops the list with a DraftKings average of 31.0 at $7,800. Umari Hatcher (SYR) is the best receiver at $7,800 with an average of 29.9. Three signal-callers sit at 27.2: Bear Bachmeier (BYU) at $8,700, LaNorris Sellers (SCAR) at $8,200 and Wayshawn Parker (UTAH) at $8,800. Parker is a running back, which makes him the top-averaging back on the sheet.
The value story runs through the $7,800 tier. Lopez and Hatcher post the two highest averages among the leaders while costing less than most of the group. Reed Harris (ASU) at $7,700 averages 26.7, the cheapest of the top eight. Noah Fifita (ARIZ) at $8,300 averages 27.1, and Trinidad Chambliss (MISS) at $9,000 averages 27.1, the priciest of the bunch.
Check the status tags before you build. Dante Moore (ORE), Kewan Lacy (MISS), Jekail Middlebrook (UVA) and Kamari Moulton (IOWA) are all tagged OUT. Josh Hoover (IU) and Carlos Hernandez (WAKE) are tagged P, while Vernell Brown III (UF) and Isaiah Marshall (KU) are tagged Q.
Lock is Sat 10/31 at 12:00 p.m. ET, so get your lineups set before then.
