The Sat 11/07 main slate carries eight fights, from Petersen @ Lorenco to Walker @ Cortes Acosta. DraftKings uses a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary under a $50,000 cap. The slate locks Sat 11/7 at 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT).

Our model's top projected plays start with Nina Milosevic at $9,400. She carries the highest ceiling on the sheet at 284.3 and a DraftKings average of 108.4. Tatiana Suarez is close behind at $7,800 with a 248.3 ceiling and a 101.4 average, which makes her a cheaper way to chase a similar outcome. Elijah Smith at $8,600 shows a 231.1 ceiling and a 98.2 average, and Lucas Fernando at $8,800 posts a 218.5 ceiling and a 92.9 average.

Not every expensive name rates as well. Keiichiro Nakamura costs $9,000 but tops out at 175.9 in our model, with a 73.3 average, so the price asks a lot. Marcos Degli at $8,400 has a ceiling of 114.1, a modest figure for that salary.

On the value side, Virna Jandiroba at $6,600 carries an 84.1 DraftKings average, a strong number for the price, though her ceiling of 92.7 is capped. Billy Elekana at $5,600 and Mitch Raposo at $6,200 are the cheap pieces our model leans on to fit the stars under the cap. Waldo Cortes Acosta at $8,000 offers a 147.4 ceiling.

The sheet gives no ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.

Our model's top lineup uses $49,500 of the $50,000 cap. It puts Suarez in the captain slot at $11,700, then adds Cortes Acosta at $8,000, Elekana at $5,600, Milosevic at $9,400, Smith at $8,600 and Raposo at $6,200. Lock is Sat 11/7 at 7:00 p.m. ET.
