Sunday's NFL showdown is a single game, DAL @ IND, and it locks at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). The captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, with a $50,000 cap.
The top of our model's rankings starts with CeeDee Lamb at $10,800. He carries a ceiling of 39.6 and a DraftKings average of 22.2, both the best marks among the top plays. Jonathan Taylor of IND costs $10,000 with a 29.4 ceiling and an 18.4 average. Dak Prescott sits at $10,400 with a 30.3 ceiling and a 19.9 average, and Javonte Williams is $9,800 with a 28.6 ceiling and a 17.5 average.
The value end of the board is where our model finds its savings. Spencer Shrader of IND is $4,800 with a 19.4 ceiling and an 11.3 average, a strong return for the price. Brandon Aubrey of DAL costs $5,400 with an 18.5 ceiling and a 9.3 average. Tyler Warren is $6,600 with a 19.3 ceiling and a 12.6 average, and Keenan Allen is $6,400 with an 18.1 ceiling and a 10.6 average. Several pass catchers are unavailable, with George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin and Luke Schoonmaker of DAL and Riley Leonard and Will Mallory of IND all tagged OUT. Alec Pierce and D.J. Montgomery of IND and Malik Davis of DAL carry IR tags.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd is likely to land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,600 of the $50,000 cap. CeeDee Lamb takes the captain slot at $16,200. The flex spots go to Laquon Treadwell at $3,600, Dak Prescott at $10,400, DJ Giddens at $4,400, Tyler Warren at $6,600 and Daniel Jones at $8,400. Pairing Lamb with Prescott stacks the DAL passing game, while the cheaper flex pieces make room for the expensive ones.
Lock is 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so finalize lineups before then.
