The Tuesday 11/10 early Madden slate on DraftKings is a three-game card: KC @ PHI, NYJ @ DAL and NE @ ATL. The salary cap is $50,000, and lineups lock at 12:00 p.m. ET (9:00 a.m. PT).
Our model's top projected plays start with Patrick Mahomes. The KC quarterback costs $7,300 and carries a 41.2 ceiling against a DraftKings average of 22.0. Breece Hall of NYJ is the standout at running back or flex. At $6,900, he has the highest ceiling among our top plays at 46.1, with a 20.3 average. Dak Prescott of DAL is the other premium quarterback option at $7,200, with a 41.8 ceiling and a 19.8 average.
The value plays are where this slate gets interesting. Tua Tagovailoa of ATL is just $6,000 with a 39.5 ceiling and an 18.2 average, and he projects at only 12% ownership. Saquon Barkley of PHI is $6,800 with a 43.2 ceiling, and Javonte Williams of DAL is $6,700 with a 41.9 ceiling. Both carry a 19.8 average, and both project to be lightly owned at 31% and 22%.
The crowd is headed toward Bijan Robinson of ATL, who projects at 72% ownership at $8,000. Kenneth Walker III of KC follows at 59%, and CeeDee Lamb is at 58%. Walker is $7,200 with a 38.0 ceiling, so players looking to stand out may want to find leverage elsewhere on the board.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,700 of the $50,000 cap. It pairs Mahomes at QB with Walker and Hall at RB, then adds Xavier Worthy at $5,900, Jahan Dotson at $4,000 and Tyquan Thornton at $3,500 at WR. Travis Kelce fills TE at $5,200, Javonte Williams takes the FLEX at $6,700, and the Chiefs DST costs $3,000.
Set your lineups before the 12:00 p.m. ET lock.
