Week 4 NFL DFS GPP Targets: Players with Highest Ceilings at Every Position

We have an excellent 12-game main slate on tap for Week 4 that begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

This piece will highlight the top NFL DFS players at each position 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 ($7,500 DraftKings; $9,200 FanDuel)

Per usual, Mahomes leads our ceiling projections and the Chiefs possess the slate’s highest implied team total at 30.5 points against the Lions. Mahomes will always stand out on DraftKings since you get the 300-yard passing bonus; his last three games he’s thrown for 374 yards, 443 yards and 378 yards.

The Lions rank 31st in pressure rate this season, which is great news for Mahomes. When he’s not faced with pressure, he averages an incredible 11.8 yards per attempt with a 146.6 Independent Quarterback Rating (IQR), per Sports Info Solutions.
