Wednesday's DraftKings showdown is a single game, TB @ MIA, and it locks Wed 11/4 at 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT). The captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, and the cap is $50,000.
De'Von Achane (MIA) tops our model's ranking at $10,400. His ceiling of 36.8 is the highest on the board, and his DraftKings average sits at 20.7, also the best of the group. Baker Mayfield (TB) is the priciest option at $11,200 with a ceiling of 29.9 and an average of 16.0. Chris Godwin Jr. (TB) at $9,600 shows a ceiling of 23.3, while Malik Willis (MIA) at $8,800 comes in at 21.8. Bucky Irving (TB) rounds out the upper tier at $9,200 with a ceiling of 21.2.
The value plays start with Greg Dulcich (MIA). At $4,200, he carries a ceiling of 25.7, well above what his salary suggests, though his DraftKings average is only 6.4. Chase McLaughlin (TB) at $4,600 offers a ceiling of 15.9 and an average of 7.2. Emeka Egbuka (TB) at $8,200 is a mid-priced piece with a ceiling of 16.4.
The crowd is likely to gather around Mayfield, who projects at 67% ownership despite the highest salary on the slate. Willis follows at 54%, and Achane and Godwin Jr. both sit at 47%. Dulcich projects at 33% and Irving at 30%, so those two offer a bit of separation from the field.
Our model's top lineup uses every dollar of the $50,000 cap. It puts De'Von Achane at captain for $15,600, then fills the FLEX spots with Chris Godwin Jr. at $9,600, Malik Willis at $8,800, Malik Washington at $7,600, Dolphins at $4,400 and Riley Patterson at $4,000.
Lineups lock Wed 11/4 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
