Monday's main Madden slate on DraftKings covers three games: MIN @ ATL, IND @ SEA and KC @ TEN. Lineups lock Mon 10/26 at 12:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. PT), and the salary cap is $50,000.
Our model leans hard on KC. Patrick Mahomes is priced at $7,200 with a ceiling of 43.5 and a DraftKings average of 22.3. Xavier Worthy has the highest ceiling among our top plays at 43.9, and he costs only $5,800. Kenneth Walker III ($7,500) carries a 40.4 ceiling, and Rashee Rice ($5,900) sits at 38.4. Bijan Robinson of ATL is the priciest of the group at $7,700, with a 42.2 ceiling and a 22.0 DraftKings average.
The value plays sit at quarterback. Tua Tagovailoa costs $5,500 with a ceiling of 37.2, and Daniel Jones is $5,400 with a 31.3 ceiling. Kyler Murray at $6,700 offers a 38.5 ceiling for those who want to spend a little more. Rice stands out too: his DraftKings average is 11.6, but our model rates his ceiling well above that, at 38.4, for $5,900.
The crowd is heading toward Robinson, who is projected at 74% ownership. Walker follows at 60% and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 59%. Mahomes is projected at 37% and Worthy at 38%. If you want to separate from the field, Tagovailoa at 11% and Jones at 17% are the low-owned quarterback options on our board, with Murray at 28% in between.
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000. It starts with Mahomes at QB ($7,200), Robinson ($7,700) and Walker ($7,500) at RB, and a WR group of Rice ($5,900), Worthy ($5,800) and Carnell Tate ($4,500). Travis Kelce fills TE at $4,900, Keenan Allen takes the FLEX at $3,500, and the Seahawks round it out at DST for $3,000.
