DraftKings DFS Value Plays

DeMario Douglas ($4,800) — Patriots vs. Packers

Game environment: Patriots -2.5, O/U 46.5 (25.5 team total)

Last week: 16.6 DK points @ MIA

2025 PPG: 5.6 DK fantasy points (17 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 12.8

Douglas led New England’s receivers in Week 8 with A.J. Brown inactive, and Brown’s status for Sunday is uncertain while Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs remain on injured reserve. He has 17 catches for 250 yards and four touchdowns over his last four games, including a 76-yard, one-touchdown day in Miami. He projects within 1.5 points of Stefon Diggs at $800 less and well above Ladd McConkey at $5,500. Green Bay ranks 21st against wide receivers, and the Patriots carry a 25.5 team total as home favorites.

Keenan Allen ($4,900) — Colts vs. Cowboys

Game environment: Colts +6, O/U 51.5 (22.5 team total)

Last week: 13.7 DK points @ JAX

2025 PPG: 10.7 DK fantasy points (17 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 12.2

Allen has drawn 50 targets in seven games and remains a starter with Alec Pierce on injured reserve. He caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards in Jacksonville and had eight catches on 11 targets against Tennessee in Week 6. Dallas ranks 27th in DK points allowed to wide receivers, and the Colts are six-point underdogs in a game with a 51.5 total, a script that should keep them throwing. He projects above Josh Downs ($5,100) and Jaylen Waddle ($5,700).

Caleb Douglas ($4,200) — Dolphins vs. Lions

Game environment: Dolphins +7, O/U 50.5 (21.5 team total)

Last week: 8.3 DK points vs. NE

2025 PPG: N/A (no 2025 NFL games)

Projected DraftKings points: 12.3

Douglas has played 82% of the snaps as an outside starter, and he has turned 19 targets into 13 catches for 226 yards and two touchdowns in four games. Detroit ranks 28th against wide receivers, and Miami’s seven-point underdog spread points to a pass-heavy script. He projects two points higher than teammate Malik Washington at $500 less and above Jaylen Waddle at $1,500 less. He has appeared in only four games, so his floor sits below the projection.
