Jaxson Dart is on IR, and Jameis Winston starts for the Giants. I'm captaining Cam Ward.
Ward is $10,200 in the flex and $15,300 at captain. He's got 323 passing yards and one touchdown through the air, and he's run in two more. The rushing touchdowns are why he's averaging 15.9 on DraftKings, and they're why he's the captain. He's the one player in this game who scores with his legs and his arm.
Dart was scheduled for knee surgery Friday, per Dan Duggan ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/DDuggan21/status/2103478797546704975)), and Jordan Raanan reported the IR move a day earlier ([Sept. 24](https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/2103221329101312316)). He's still on the board at $10,000. Obviously don't. Winston is $9,000. He went 11 of 27 for 111 yards and a pick in relief. I'm not playing him.
Isaiah Likely is my other captain, and I think he's the best play in this game. $7,600 in the flex, $11,400 at captain. 13 catches on 18 targets, 111 yards, two touchdowns, and an 18.1 average, best on this board. He saw 10 targets in Monday's loss, the game Winston finished. That's the part I care about.
Malik Nabers is off the injury report. Mike Garafolo had him good to go on Friday ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/2103576571399254480)), and Nabers told Raanan his shoulder X-ray came back with "good results" ([Sept. 24](https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/2103212615933591718)). He's got seven catches on 13 targets and no touchdowns, and he's $9,600. That's a lot to pay for Winston throwing to him. I'm lighter on Nabers than the price says I should be.
Cam Skattebo is the most expensive player here at $10,600. He's got 117 yards and a score on 30 carries. Fine, not $10,600 fine. Devin Singletary at $3,200 has a receiving touchdown and a 7.4 average. I like him more than the math says I should.
Tony Pollard is off the injury report, and ESPN had Jim Wyatt reporting that Tennessee plans to give Nick Singleton more carries. Pollard's got 99 yards on 21 carries and no touchdowns, and he's $9,400. That's too much for a back who might be losing work. Tyjae Spears is questionable with an ankle and was limited Friday. Leave both.
Carnell Tate is $8,000 for 65 yards on seven catches. No. Elic Ayomanor is $2,800 with 80 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Yes. Wan'Dale Robinson, a Titan now, is $5,600 with 47 yards. He's a fill, not a target.
Joey Slye is 3 for 3 at $4,600 and Dominic Zvada is 2 for 2 with a 52-yarder at $4,800. I'd take Slye. The defense is the Titans at $3,400. They're facing Winston, and they're the cheaper one.
Ward captain, Likely somewhere, Ayomanor to pay for it. See you after the one o'clocks. @numeric_dfs
