The Sunday afternoon turbo is a three-game DraftKings classic slate with a $50,000 cap: LV @ SF, GB @ NE and ARI @ SEA. It locks Sun 11/8 at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT).
Our model's top play is Jaxon Smith-Njigba of SEA at $9,300. He carries a ceiling of 41.3 and a DraftKings average of 30.1, the highest mark on the board by a wide margin, and he is the priciest piece of our lineup. Drake Maye (NE) is next at $7,000 with a ceiling of 37.9 and an average of 22.1, so he offers a big upside gap over his salary. Jordan Love (GB) is the other quarterback worth a look at $6,300, with a ceiling of 32.7 and an average of 20.6.
The value plays sit mostly under $6,000. Kirk Cousins (LV) costs $5,300 and shows a ceiling of 28.9 with an average of 21.3, which is a strong return at that price. Brock Purdy (SF) at $6,800 has a 30.4 ceiling and a 21.4 average. At tight end, Brock Bowers (LV) is $7,900 with a 30.8 ceiling, and Trey McBride (ARI) is $7,700 with a 28.4 ceiling. Matthew Golden (GB) at $7,000 tops out at 27.7 with a 17.6 average.
Several names are unavailable, which will shape how rosters get built. DraftKings lists Mike Evans (SF), A.J. Brown (NE), Sam Darnold (SEA), Deebo Samuel Sr. (SF), Jacoby Brissett (ARI), Bam Knight (ARI) and TreVeyon Henderson (NE) as OUT, and Jeremiyah Love (ARI) as IR. We don't have ownership figures for this slate, so we won't guess where the crowd lands.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It pairs Maye at QB with Josh Jacobs ($6,800) and Ashton Jeanty ($5,900) at RB. Smith-Njigba ($9,300), DeMario Douglas ($4,800) and Harrison Wallace III ($3,000) fill the WR spots. George Kittle ($6,000) takes TE, Eli Raridon ($3,500) the FLEX, and the 49ers ($3,600) the DST.
Lock is Sun 11/8 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
