2025 Opp Rank = opponent’s 2025 ranking in DK fantasy points allowed to the position (1st = toughest, 32nd = most generous).
Projected points blend 2025 per-game DK fantasy averages with 2026 weekly performance, adjusted for opponent matchup, game environment, snap share and expected game script.
DraftKings DFS Value Plays
David Montgomery ($6,500) — Texans vs. Bengals
Game environment: Texans -2.5, O/U 46.5 (24.5 team total)
Last week: 28.9 DK points vs. BUF
2025 PPG: 9.5 DK fantasy points (17 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 15.0
Montgomery moved from Detroit to Houston this offseason and immediately stepped into a workhorse role, logging 28.9 DK points against Buffalo in Week 1. Cincinnati allowed the 29th most DK fantasy points to running backs in 2025, making this one of the softest matchups on the board. The close spread keeps Houston in a balanced game plan, and the 24.5 team total supports scoring opportunities. At $6,500, Montgomery is priced well below his Week 1 output while carrying a secure lead-back role in a high-functioning offense.
Breece Hall ($6,200) — Jets vs. Packers
Game environment: Jets +3.5, O/U 44.5 (20.5 team total)
Last week: 22.8 DK points @ TEN
2025 PPG: 12.8 DK fantasy points (16 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 16.3
Hall posted 22.8 DK points at Tennessee in Week 1 and rises 14 spots to RB12 this week. The close spread (Jets +3.5) keeps New York in a competitive game script where Hall should see a full complement of carries and targets. Green Bay allowed the 15th most DK fantasy points to running backs in 2025, a neutral-to-favorable matchup. Hall has the receiving floor (36 receptions in 2025) that separates him from pure rushers in PPR, and $6,200 prices him as a mid-tier RB2 despite a projection that lands firmly in RB1 territory.
Chuba Hubbard ($5,800) — Panthers @ Falcons
Game environment: Panthers -2.5, O/U 43.5 (23.0 team total)
Last week: 23.7 DK points vs. CHI
2025 PPG: 8.4 DK fantasy points (15 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 13.6
Hubbard is a road favorite for the first time this season, and Carolina’s 23.0 team total reflects a team expected to move the ball in Atlanta. His 23.7-point Week 1 against Chicago came on a heavy workload as the clear lead back. The 30-reception, 39-target 2025 receiving profile gives him a PPR floor that pure rushers lack. At $5,800, Hubbard costs less than committee backs with weaker roles, and the favorable game script as a slight road favorite should keep him involved through all four quarters.
