Monday's showdown slate is a single game, DAL @ PHI, and it locks Mon 10/26 at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT). The captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, and the cap is $50,000.
CeeDee Lamb tops our model's ranking at $11,000, with a ceiling of 39.4 and a DraftKings average of 23.4. That ceiling is the highest on the board by a wide margin. Dak Prescott ($10,400) carries a 29.3 ceiling and a 19.3 average, while George Pickens ($9,000) sits at 28.1 with a 14.1 average. Javonte Williams ($10,600) rounds out the Dallas group at a 27.0 ceiling and an 18.2 average. On the PHI side, Tanner McKee costs $8,600 and has a 21.4 ceiling.
The value plays are where this slate can be won. Dallas Goedert is just $6,400 for PHI, and his 25.5 ceiling is the fifth-best on our list. Ryan Flournoy ($5,000) offers a 22.7 ceiling against an 8.7 average, and Brandon Aubrey ($5,400) projects at 18.6 on the high end. Several PHI names come with DraftKings status tags, so check them before lock: DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are tagged OUT, Saquon Barkley is tagged Q, and Jalen Hurts, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are tagged IR. On the DAL side, KaVontae Turpin is tagged OUT and Malik Davis is tagged IR.
Our model's top lineup spends $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It puts CeeDee Lamb at captain for $16,500, then fills the flex spots with Javonte Williams ($10,600), Dak Prescott ($10,400), Dallas Goedert ($6,400), Darius Cooper ($3,200) and Hollywood Brown ($2,800). The cheap pair of Cooper and Brown is what makes room for three of the priciest Dallas bats and Goedert.
