The Wednesday 11/11 main slate for Madden on DraftKings classic covers three games: MIN @ NO, MIA @ GB and DEN @ JAX. Lineups lock at 6:00 p.m. ET (3:00 p.m. PT), and the salary cap is $50,000.
Our model's top projected plays start with Jordan Love (GB) at $7,600 and Brian Thomas Jr. (JAX) at $5,700. Both show a 40.7 ceiling, the highest on the board. Love carries a 19.5 DraftKings average, while Thomas Jr. sits at 13.3, so his ceiling is a long way above his typical output. Trevor Lawrence (JAX) is right behind at $7,500 with a 38.2 ceiling and a 20.3 average, the best average among the top plays.
The value plays are where the price tags stand out. Jayden Reed (GB) costs just $3,500 and still carries a 36.8 ceiling. Matthew Golden (GB) is $4,900 with a 37.3 ceiling. Kyler Murray (MIN) is the cheapest of the top quarterbacks at $6,400, with a 36.5 ceiling.
The crowd is heading in one clear direction. De'Von Achane (MIA) is projected at 72% ownership, followed by Bhayshul Tuten (JAX) at 59% and Christian Watson at 58%. Lawrence checks in at 37% and Thomas Jr. at 31%, while Love is at 26%. Those wanting to separate from the field can look at Murray at 16% and Reed at just 9%.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,500 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with Bo Nix at QB for $5,400, then pairs De'Von Achane ($7,700) and J.K. Dobbins ($6,300) at RB. The receivers are Christian Watson ($7,500), Courtland Sutton ($6,000) and Troy Franklin ($3,600), with Juwan Johnson at TE for $5,300, Evan Engram at FLEX for $4,700 and the Dolphins at DST for $3,000. It leans on Achane and Watson, two of the most popular names on the slate, and fills in around them.
