Tuesday's showdown is a one-game slate, PIT @ DET, with a $50,000 cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. It locks Tue 11/3 at 4:00 p.m. ET (1:00 p.m. PT).
Jahmyr Gibbs tops our model's ranking at $10,800, with a ceiling of 40.0 against a DraftKings average of 21.0. That gap is the widest on the board. Sam LaPorta follows at $7,800 with a 28.7 ceiling, and Aaron Rodgers sits at $10,400 with a 27.4 ceiling. DK Metcalf, at $9,000 and a 26.4 ceiling, rounds out the top tier.
The value plays sit lower on the price list. Pat Freiermuth costs $7,000 and carries a 21.1 ceiling, more than double his 9.7 DraftKings average. Chris Boswell at $6,200 has a 17.3 ceiling, and Jameson Williams at $6,600 has a 16.3 ceiling. Each gives you real upside without eating much of the cap.
Expect the crowd to gather around PIT's quarterback. Rodgers is projected at 67% ownership, the highest on the slate, followed by Jared Goff at 54% and Gibbs at 47%. Metcalf also lands at 47%. Freiermuth, at 20%, is the least popular of our top plays, which makes him a natural differentiator if you want to avoid the herd.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,200 of the $50,000 cap. It puts Gibbs in the captain slot at $16,200, then fills the FLEX spots with Goff at $9,800, LaPorta at $7,800, Williams at $6,600, Michael Pittman Jr. at $4,800 and Isaac TeSlaa at $4,000.
Rosters lock Tue 11/3 at 4:00 p.m. ET, so get your lineups set before then.
