Cheat Sheet and Projections

We have reviewed every player from every team to help you make the best selections on Tuesday's slate.

Selection Player Salary Proj. Pts Pts/$1K
Stud De'Von Achane (MIA, FLEX/RB) $16,960 17.6 1
Value Will Levis (TEN, QB) $12,880 14.9 1.2
Fade Tyler Huntley (MIA, QB) $13,870 6.5 0.5
Cheapie Tyler Lockett (SEA, FLEX/WR) $8,930 10.3 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.

Conclusion

In DFS, creating an optimal line-up requires understanding key concepts and metrics. When building your NFL Tuesday teams, consider starting with a value player like Will Levis. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, De'Von Achane is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, take a look at our cheapie options, including Tyler Lockett.

On the other hand, according to our model, Tyler Huntley 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.
