Top values (points per $1K)
Value is projected DraftKings points per $1,000 of salary. Across the full $50K cap, every 1.0x of average value is worth about 50 lineup points, so cheap players with high value free up salary for the stars. Own% is projected ownership: the share of a modeled contest field expected to roster him (lower = more leverage in tournaments).

How to use these NFL DFS picks
- Cash games (50/50s, double-ups): start from the top values and highest projections; you want a high floor, not leverage.
- Tournaments (GPPs): pair the top values with one of the stack ideas, and lean toward lower projected ownership where projections are close, so your lineup differs from the field.
- Before lock: re-check news. This page rebuilds from StatWarrior's latest data every time it loads, and players ruled out are removed automatically.
