Seven games make up the early-only DraftKings classic slate on Sunday 11/08, with a $50,000 salary cap. The games are DEN @ CAR, DAL @ IND, NYJ @ KC, DET @ MIA, CLE @ NO, NYG @ PHI and LAR @ WAS. Lock comes at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT).
Our model's top plays start at running back. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) costs $10,000 with a ceiling of 40.0 and a DraftKings average of 30.0, the highest average on the board. Kenneth Walker III (KC) is $9,000 with a 38.7 ceiling and a 24.6 average. At receiver, Puka Nacua (LAR) is $8,800 with a 39.7 ceiling, and CeeDee Lamb (DAL) is $8,300 with a 39.6 ceiling. At quarterback, Matthew Stafford (LAR) is $6,200 with a 34.2 ceiling, and Jared Goff (DET) is $6,600 with a 33.4 ceiling and a 21.9 average.
For value, our model likes Chris Olave (NO) at $7,400, with a 34.8 ceiling and a 19.1 average, and Malik Nabers (NYG) at $7,300, with a 37.6 ceiling and an 18.9 average. Nabers is the cheaper of the two and has the higher ceiling. Check the DraftKings status tags before building: DeVonta Smith (PHI), Garrett Wilson (NYJ), George Pickens (DAL), Cam Skattebo (NYG) and Deshaun Watson (CLE) are tagged OUT, while Travis Etienne Jr. (NO), Alec Pierce (IND) and Tank Bigsby (PHI) are tagged IR.
The sheet gives no ownership figures for this slate, so we won't guess where the crowd will land.
