Our model has no projections for this slate, so the numbers below are DraftKings averages, not forecasts. The showdown is a single game, KC at ATL, and it locks Sunday, 11/15 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). Rosters run on a $50,000 cap, and the captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary.
Kenneth Walker III of KC leads the board with a DraftKings average of 26.4 at $12,200, the highest price on the slate. Bijan Robinson of ATL is next at $11,200 with an average of 21.0. Patrick Mahomes is third at 19.1 for $10,000, and he carries a Q tag from DraftKings. Michael Penix Jr. averages 14.8 at $8,800, and Drake London averages 14.2 at $9,600. Because a captain costs 1.5x, a Walker III captain would run well above $12,200, which leaves little room for the rest of the roster.
The value picture is thinner. Travis Kelce of KC averages 12.8 at $7,800, a cheaper route to a solid number than the top-end backs. Tyquan Thornton of KC shows an average of 12.0 at $200, which looks like a bargain on paper, but DraftKings lists him with an IR tag. Rashee Rice of KC averages 11.0 at $9,200, a steep price for that average.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we cannot say where the crowd will land. Status tags are worth a check before lock: Xavier Worthy of KC carries a Q, Zachariah Branch of ATL carries a D, and Brian Robinson Jr., Brashard Smith, Trey Sermon, Tyquan Thornton and Jimmy Holiday all carry IR tags.
Our model's top lineup is not built for this slate, so there is no lineup or total salary to share. The sheet does not give enough to go beyond the averages above. Rosters lock Sunday, 11/15 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
