Cheat Sheet and Projections

We have reviewed players from each team to help you make the best choices on Monday's slate.

Selection Player Salary Proj. Pts Pts/$1K
Stud Josh Allen (BUF) $19,650 21.4 1.1
Stud Lamar Jackson (BAL) $19,590 20.9 1.1
Value Curtis Samuel (BUF) $3,480 7.2 2.1
Value Charlie Kolar (BAL) $1,000 1.7 1.7
Fade Keon Coleman (BUF) $8,570 6.1 0.7
Cheapie Dawson Knox (BUF) $1,760 3 1.7

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "studs" are the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks offer 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 refer to 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.

Captain Contest Tips

Monday's NFL Ravens vs Bills contest is a Captain Contest, in which you generally pick one captain and five other players. Your captain scores 1.5x the usual number of Draftstars points, but they also cost 1.5x their usual salary.

You may want to look at players with a high ceiling, like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, who can score big points and make the most of that 1.5x multiplier. They may be expensive, but if they go big, you go big too.

Alternatively, if you want to spread your funds around your line-up, you could select player who you think is good value, with our model liking Curtis Samuel as a potential value option. Choosing a value pick as captain gives you more points per dollar spent, which could help you use the rest of your budget more effectively.
