The Thu 11/05 main slate has three games: CAR @ DAL, TEN @ MIN and DET @ NO. It locks Thu 11/5 at 12:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. PT), and the salary cap is $50,000.
Dallas owns the top of our model's board. Dak Prescott ($7,200) carries a ceiling of 48.5, the highest on the slate, against a DraftKings average of 20.2. Javonte Williams ($6,700) is next at 45.8, with an average of 20.9. Bryce Young ($5,500) sits third at 43.9, which is a big number for a quarterback at that price. Jahmyr Gibbs ($8,300) posts a 41.8 ceiling and the slate's best average at 22.2, but his salary is the steepest of the top group.
The value plays come from Carolina and Dallas. Young's ceiling is 43.9 against a DraftKings average of 15.8, so the upside is well above the usual output. Chuba Hubbard ($6,500) has a 39.6 ceiling, and George Pickens ($5,400) brings a 35.6 ceiling at one of the cheaper prices among the top plays.
The crowd will pile onto the same few names. Gibbs is projected at 72% ownership, Williams at 59% and CeeDee Lamb ($7,100) at 58%. Prescott checks in at 37%, Hubbard at 31%, Murray ($6,600) at 26% and Pickens at 22%. Young is the notable low-owned play at 16%, which pairs a high ceiling with a thin crowd.
Our model's top lineup costs $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with Young at QB ($5,500) and Gibbs at RB ($8,300), then adds Travis Etienne Jr. at RB ($6,600). Tetairoa McMillan ($6,700), Carnell Tate ($4,700) and Jalen Coker ($4,000) fill the WR spots, Darren Waller takes TE ($4,300), Hubbard fills the FLEX ($6,500), and the Panthers handle DST ($3,300).
