Saturday's DraftKings showdown is a single game, UF @ UGA, with a $50,000 cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. The slate locks Sat 10/31 at 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. PT).
Gunner Stockton of UGA leads our model's board at $10,600, with a projection of 24.5 and a ceiling of 34.6. That projection sits above his DraftKings average of 20.5. Jadan Baugh of UF is next at $10,400, projected for 18.8 with a ceiling of 32.5. His DraftKings average is 25.9, so our model is cooler on him than his season numbers suggest, but the ceiling is the second highest on the sheet.
Beyond the two stars, Nate Frazier ($9,400, 16.0) and Dwight Phillips Jr. ($6,400, 12.8) both project well for UGA. Harran Zureikat is a pricing curiosity at $5,200, projected for 12.4 with a 24.4 ceiling against a DraftKings average of 1.0. Dallas Wilson of UF checks in at $7,600 and 12.4.
At the bottom of the salary scale, Craig Dandridge of UGA costs $4,000 and projects for 10.5, which makes him the most useful cheap piece. The true minimum-salary values are Jae Lamar of UGA at $1,200 (4.5, or 3.7 points per $1,000), Evan Pryor of UF at $1,000 (3.3), and Colton Heinrich of UGA at $1,000 (2.4). Our model sees them as roster fillers for tight builds, not ceiling plays.
The sheet gives no ownership figures, so we can't say where the crowd is headed. Check the status tags before lock: Bailey Stockton of UF and Isiah Canion of UGA carry a Q tag, while Vernell Brown III, Duke Clark and Kelvin Jimenez of UF and Chauncey Bowens and Thomas Blackshear of UGA are tagged OUT.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,700 of the $50,000 cap: Gunner Stockton at captain for $15,900, with Jadan Baugh ($10,400), Nate Frazier ($9,400), Craig Dandridge ($4,000), Lawson Luckie ($3,200) and Talyn Taylor ($6,800) in the UTIL spots. Lineups lock at 3:30 p.m. ET.
