Cheat Sheet and Projections
We've reviewed every player from every team to help you find the best choices on Tuesday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Dylan Cease (SD, P) | $22,630 | 20 | 0.9 |
| Value | Kyle Harrison (SF, P) | $12,770 | 15.9 | 1.2 |

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they are expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options highlight the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.
In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.
The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

On the other hand, according to our model, Heliot Ramos is one of the worst value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if building out multiple line-ups.
