The Sunday 11/08 main slate has four games: HOU @ LAC, LV @ SF, GB @ NE and ARI @ SEA. Lineups lock Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET (1:05 p.m. PT), and the $50,000 salary cap leaves room for a few different builds.
Our model's top play is Jaxon Smith-Njigba of SEA at $9,300. He carries a ceiling of 41.3 against a DraftKings average of 30.1, the highest ceiling on the board. Among quarterbacks, Drake Maye of NE is next at $7,000 with a 37.9 ceiling and a 22.1 DraftKings average. Jordan Love of GB sits at $6,300 with a 32.7 ceiling and a 20.6 average, which makes him a cheaper way into that same GB @ NE game.
The value plays are mostly under center. Kirk Cousins of LV costs $5,300 and shows a 28.9 ceiling with a 21.3 average, and C.J. Stroud of HOU is $5,900 with a 26.9 ceiling and a 20.1 average. Brock Purdy of SF at $6,800 has a 30.4 ceiling, a step above both. At tight end, Brock Bowers of LV ($7,900, ceiling 30.8) and Trey McBride of ARI ($7,700, ceiling 28.4) are the priced-up options.
Check the injury tags before you build. DraftKings lists Mike Evans (SF), A.J. Brown (NE), David Montgomery (HOU), Sam Darnold (SEA), Deebo Samuel Sr. (SF), Jacoby Brissett (ARI) and Bam Knight (ARI) as OUT, and Jeremiyah Love (ARI) as IR. Ownership data is not available for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,700 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with Jordan Love at QB, Zach Charbonnet and Kaleb Johnson at RB, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Matthew Golden and DeMario Douglas at WR. Tucker Kraft fills TE, Dalton Schultz takes the FLEX at $3,200, and the Seahawks fill DST at $3,800.
Lock is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET.
