Studs
Dak Prescott is the most expensive player in this contest, and he has provided steady value for fantasy players all year. He finished with just 5.64 DraftKings points in Week 11 vs. the Chiefs, but he’s posted a positive Plus/Minus in every other game dating back to Week 3.
He’s in a nice spot vs. the Saints. He leads the slate with an Opponent Plus/Minus of +2.5, and he’ll have both of his star pass-catchers back in the lineup. Overall, he leads all players in our NFL Models in Median and Ceiling Projections, and he also ranks first in Projected Plus/Minus on DraftKings.
Dak also stands out from a Vegas perspective. The Cowboys are listed as sizable favorites, and Prescott has historically averaged a Plus/Minus of +3.99 in that situation (per the Trends tool).
