Thursday brings a one-game DraftKings captain slate: ULL @ ULM. The captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, the cap is $50,000, and the slate locks Thu 11/12 at 9:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. PT).
One note before the plays: our model's projections are not built for this slate. There is no model-generated lineup or ceiling to share, so what follows leans on the DraftKings season averages listed for each player.
Lunch Winfield (ULL, QB) sits at the top of the board at $11,600 with a DraftKings average of 22.4. That is well clear of everyone else. Aidan Armenta (ULM, QB) is next at $10,400 with a 15.7 average, which makes the two quarterbacks the clear top tier of the slate. JJ Garner (ULL, RB) rounds out the leaders at $9,000 and 11.2.
Value is thin, because salaries run high across the pool. Marcellus Jackson (ULM, WR) stands out at $6,800 with a 10.2 average, which gives him the best average per dollar among the skill players listed. Tony Sterner (ULL, K) is the cheapest name on the list at $4,800 and averages 7.7, a lot of production for a salary that leaves room elsewhere. Austin Carlisle (ULM, QB) averages 9.8 at $9,600, which is a steep price for that number.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we cannot say where the crowd will land. Check the status tags before building: Landon Strother, Anthony Reagan Jr. and Darrell Smith of ULL carry OUT tags, as do Makin Lenard and Javon Campbell of ULM. CJ Phillip (ULM) is tagged P and Ja'Corian Norris (ULL) is tagged D.
Our model does not have a top lineup or total salary to publish for this one, so there is no build to hand you. The slate locks Thu 11/12 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
