Sunday's early-only DraftKings slate covers seven games: KC @ ATL, HOU @ CLE, MIN @ GB, MIA @ IND, CAR @ NO, BUF @ NYJ and JAX @ TEN. Rosters lock Sun 11/15 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT), and the cap is $50,000.
One note on the numbers before the plays. Our model does not have projections built for this slate, so the figures below are DraftKings season averages, not our own projections. They show who has been producing, not what we expect on Sunday.
By average, Josh Allen of BUF leads at 26.7 for $7,500, with Kenneth Walker III of KC close behind at 26.4 but priced up at $9,200. Jordan Love of GB averages 22.7 at $6,500, and C.J. Stroud of HOU is at 22.5 for $5,900. Christian Watson of GB averages 21.1 at $7,700, Bijan Robinson of ATL sits at 21.0 for $8,200, and James Cook III of BUF is at 20.3 for $7,400.
The value case runs through the quarterbacks. Stroud at $5,900 and Bryce Young of CAR at $5,800 (20.1 average) are the cheapest of the high-average group, and Love at $6,500 is not far off. Any of them frees up salary for the expensive backs and receivers.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd is headed.
Check the status tags before building. Patrick Mahomes (KC), Kyler Murray (MIN), Malik Willis (MIA), David Montgomery (HOU), Garrett Wilson (NYJ) and Carnell Tate (TEN) all carry a Q tag, Josh Jacobs (GB) is tagged OUT, and Travis Etienne Jr. (NO) is on IR.
Our model has no top lineup or total salary for this slate, since projections were not built for it. Lock is Sun 11/15 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
