The Tuesday 10/27 night slate is a three-game card: BAL @ HOU, ARI @ DEN and WAS @ CIN. It is a DraftKings classic with a $50,000 salary cap, and it locks at 6:00 p.m. ET (3:00 p.m. PT).
Our model's top projected play is Joe Burrow (CIN, QB) at $8,200, with a ceiling of 46.7 against a DraftKings average of 23.7. Jayden Daniels (WAS, QB) is next in line at $6,400, with a 41.6 ceiling and an 18.2 average. Lamar Jackson (BAL, QB) sits at $7,400 with a 36.2 ceiling and a 19.2 average. Quarterback is the position to settle first, and the price gap between Burrow and Daniels is worth a look.
The value plays come from the wide receiver group. Andrei Iosivas (CIN, WR/FLEX) costs just $4,300 yet carries a 39.4 ceiling, well above his 13.6 DraftKings average. Marvin Harrison Jr. (ARI, WR/FLEX) at $5,400 has a 40.7 ceiling and a 13.5 average. Tee Higgins (CIN, WR/FLEX) at $6,000 offers a 32.8 ceiling and a 14.2 average.
The crowd is likely to pile onto a few names. Derrick Henry leads projected ownership at 73%, followed by Chase Brown (CIN, RB/FLEX) at 60% and Ja'Marr Chase (CIN, WR/FLEX) at 59%. Burrow is projected at 37%. Brown's $6,700 salary and 34.6 ceiling come with heavy ownership, so he is a spot to consider fading. Daniels, at 17%, and Harrison, at 19%, offer lower-owned paths to upside.
Our model's top lineup uses all $50,000 of the cap. It runs Burrow at QB ($8,200), Henry ($7,700) and J.K. Dobbins ($6,000) at RB, and Chase ($8,400), Harrison ($5,400) and Tank Dell ($3,900) at WR. Mike Gesicki fills TE at $4,000, Luke McCaffrey takes the FLEX at $3,200, and the Ravens DST costs $3,200.
Lock is Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. ET.
