We have an excellent 13-game main slate on tap for Week 3 that begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
This piece will highlight the top NFL DFS players in our FantasyLabs Player Models in terms of their projected ceiling from our award-winning Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner.
(Do people even read intros?)
Let’s dive in.
Top Model Quarterback Ceiling Projections
Patrick Mahomes ($7,600 DraftKings; $9,200 FanDuel)
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of writing Mahomes up in this spot. For three weeks running, he leads our ceiling projections. This time, he’ll be at home against a Ravens defense that will be without CB Jimmy Smith (knee), and a defense that just allowed 354 passing yards to Kyler Murray.
Mahomes has been dominant this season, averaging 410.5 passing yards per game with 10.7 yards per attempt and ranking third in the league in Air Yards. At the time of writing, he’s projected to be high owned (for a quarterback), and he’s generating plenty of buzz around the industry with his 8.3 Buzz Score and 93% Sentiment Rating in our models.
However, there could be some concerns, which are very minor as Mahomes isn’t human. The under in this game got hammered, dropping the total from 55 to 52. Sharps are all over the under this game with the under generating 31% of the tickets but 49% of the money. And the wind could be something to monitor as kickoff approaches.
