The Sunday 11/08 main slate on DraftKings Classic runs 11 games, from LAR @ WAS to ARI @ SEA, with a $50,000 salary cap. Lock is 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT), so lineups need to be set before then.
Our model's top plays start with Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) at $9,300. He carries a ceiling of 45.7 and a DraftKings average of 30.1, the best pairing of the two on the board. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) costs $10,000, the highest salary among our top plays, with a ceiling of 42.6 and an average of 30.0. Kenneth Walker III (KC) is $9,000 with a ceiling of 40.3, and Puka Nacua (LAR) is $8,800 with the same 40.3 ceiling.
CeeDee Lamb (DAL) sits at $8,300 with a ceiling of 40.2. Drake Maye (NE) is the quarterback to know at $7,000, with a ceiling of 37.9 and an average of 22.1. Malik Nabers (NYG) at $7,300 and Chris Olave (NO) at $7,400 round out the group, with ceilings of 39.6 and 36.6.
Several names carry a DraftKings OUT tag, and they matter for roster construction. DeVonta Smith (PHI), Garrett Wilson (NYJ), Mike Evans (SF), George Pickens (DAL), A.J. Brown (NE), David Montgomery (HOU), Sam Darnold (SEA) and Cam Skattebo (NYG) are all listed that way, so check each one before you lock anyone in.
Our model's top lineup spends $49,800 of the $50,000 and pairs stars with cheap pieces. It starts with Jayden Daniels at QB for $6,000, then Gibbs and Jonah Coleman at RB for $10,000 and $5,300. Nacua ($8,800), Omar Cooper Jr. ($4,900) and Antonio Williams ($4,100) fill the WR spots. Tyler Warren is the TE at $4,600, Chig Okonkwo takes the FLEX at $3,600, and the Eagles DST costs $2,500.
Ownership figures weren't available for this slate, so there's no read yet on where the crowd is heading. Build with that in mind, and have everything final before the 1:00 p.m. ET lock.
