Sunday's NFL showdown is a single game, NYG @ PHI, and it locks Sun 11/8 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). The format is the standard captain setup on a $50,000 cap, with the captain slot scoring 1.5x points at 1.5x salary.
Malik Nabers (NYG) tops our model's ranking at $11,200, with a ceiling of 39.2 against a DraftKings average of 18.9. No one else on the board comes close to that ceiling, which makes him the natural captain candidate. Tanner McKee (PHI) is next at $8,600 with a ceiling of 30.4, well above his DraftKings average of 11.0. Isaiah Likely (NYG) follows at $8,000 and a 29.9 ceiling, against an average of 16.1.
The best value in the ranking is Jameis Winston (NYG) at $6,000, with a ceiling of 24.6. That is a big ceiling for the price, and it sits well above his 12.4 DraftKings average. Dallas Goedert (PHI) at $7,000 and a 21.3 ceiling is another mid-priced option. Players listed OUT include DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Cam Skattebo and Thomas Fidone II, while Jalen Hurts, Jaxson Dart and Tank Bigsby carry IR tags. Dameon Pierce (PHI) is tagged Q, so check his status before lock.
Our fact sheet doesn't include ownership projections for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000. It captains Nabers at $16,800 and fills the FLEX spots with Likely at $8,000, Hollywood Brown at $3,000, Makai Lemon at $7,800, Devin Singletary at $5,600 and J.J. McCarthy at $8,800. Brown's $3,000 price is what funds the rest of the build.
Lock is Sun 11/8 at 1:00 p.m. ET, so get your lineups set before then.
