Thursday's DraftKings classic is a single-event golf slate for round 2, with a $50,000 salary cap. Lineups lock Thu 11/5 at 10:15 p.m. ET (7:15 p.m. PT).
Our model's ranking puts Gregorio De Leo at the top at $7,700, with a ceiling of 82.9 and a DraftKings average of 69.9. That ceiling is the highest among the plays on our board, and his average is the best of the group as well. Joe Dean is right behind on ceiling at 80.0 for $7,500, with an average of 64.9. Matthew Jordan, at $8,100, carries a 77.6 ceiling and a 62.6 average, so he costs more than either of them for a lower floor of output.
The value plays sit in the $6,400 to $6,800 range. Calum Hill is the best of them at $6,800, with a 74.7 ceiling and a 65.5 average. Shaun Norris costs $6,400 and offers a 72.5 ceiling and a 63.7 average, which is a strong return for the price. Guido Migliozzi at $6,600 has a 69.2 ceiling and a 58.3 average. Julien Guerrier, also $6,400, has a 63.0 ceiling and a 54.0 average, so he is the cheapest way to save salary but with the lowest upside of this group.
Jeff Winther rounds out our top plays at $7,300, with a 74.2 ceiling and a 62.2 average. The fact sheet does not include ownership figures, so we are not projecting where the crowd will land on this slate.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,300 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra at $10,700, then adds Oliver Lindell at $8,500, Victor Perez at $8,400, Joe Dean at $7,500, Alejandro Del Rey at $7,400 and Calum Hill at $6,800. Dean and Hill are the two names that overlap with our top plays list.
Lineups lock Thu 11/5 at 10:15 p.m. ET, so set your builds before then.
