Opp Rank = opponent ranking in DK fantasy points allowed to the position (1st = toughest, 32nd = most generous), blending 2025 full-season data with limited 2026 results.
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.

Injuries to Monitor
- DeVonta Smith † (Hamstring): DNP Thursday. A new injury with no prior listing this week. Spotted in sweats rather than pads during the media-access portion of Thursday practice.
- Jalen Coker †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Mike Evans † (Hip): DNP Wednesday and Thursday. Seen running on a side field at Thursday practice but did not mix into team drills.
- DJ Moore † (Shoulder/AC Joint): DNP Thursday after limited participation Wednesday. Said he “felt great” Wednesday, but the Thursday downgrade to DNP is concerning.
- Puka Nacua † (Hip): DNP Wednesday and Thursday. Not making much progress in recovery per Rapoport. Head coach McVay said it is not a hernia and not long-term, but Nacua could miss a second consecutive game. Ranked lower due to consecutive missed games and no practice participation.
- Zay Flowers † (Hamstring): DNP Wednesday and Thursday but traveled with the team to Brazil. Worked out on his own prior to Thursday’s session. Trending toward missing a second straight game, with Rashod Bateman taking WR1 reps. Ranked lower due to consecutive missed games and no practice participation.
- Adonai Mitchell †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Nico Collins † (Hamstring): DNP Wednesday and Thursday. Has not practiced since sustaining the injury in Week 1 and is trending toward a second consecutive absence. Ranked lower due to consecutive missed games and no practice participation.
- Jakobi Meyers †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Michael Pittman Jr. † (Foot): Limited Wednesday and Thursday. Did not play in Week 2 but has returned to practice on a limited basis.
- Caleb Douglas †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Keon Coleman † (Ankle): DNP Wednesday and Thursday. Will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday.
- Xavier Legette † (Knee): DNP Thursday after full participation Wednesday. Went for an MRI earlier in the week.
- Chris Moore †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
- Marvin Mims Jr. † (Foot): Limited Wednesday and Thursday. Has one more chance to log a full practice Friday.
DraftKings DFS Value Plays
Xavier Worthy ($4,400) — Chiefs @ Dolphins
Game environment: Chiefs -10.5, O/U 45.5 (28.5 team total)
Last week: 13.5 DK points vs. IND
2025 PPG: 7.9 DK fantasy points (14 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 9.1
Worthy operates as Kansas City’s WR1 with 82% snap share and a 28.5 team total that ranks second on the entire slate behind only Buffalo. Miami allowed the 20th most DK fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, creating a favorable matchup floor. At $4,400, Worthy is priced $2,000 below his salary-equivalent production after posting 13.5 DK points in Week 2 against Indianapolis. The blowout risk from a 10.5-point spread caps his ceiling if the Chiefs pull starters late, but the speed-based role and red-zone involvement give Worthy the TD equity needed to justify tournament exposure in this price range.
Denzel Boston ($4,500) — Browns vs. Panthers
Game environment: Browns +2.5, O/U 42.5 (19.5 team total)
Last week: 20.5 DK points vs. TB
2025 PPG: N/A (rookie)
Projected DraftKings points: 16.1
Boston leads all Cleveland wide receivers with a 93% snap share and has produced 13.9 and 20.5 DK points through his first two NFL games. The Panthers rank 10th in DK fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, which tempers the ceiling, but Boston’s volume as the undisputed WR1 in Cleveland compensates. At $4,500, he carries the lowest salary of any player projected above 15.0 DK points on the entire slate. The 19.5 team total is below average, but Boston’s target dominance makes him less dependent on scoring environment than most receivers at this price.
Devaughn Vele ($4,400) — Saints vs. Raiders
Game environment: Saints -3, O/U 43.5 (23.5 team total)
Last week: 11.4 DK points vs. BAL
2025 PPG: 5.1 DK fantasy points (13 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 9.5
Vele ranks as New Orleans’ WR1 on the depth chart with a 94% snap share, the highest among all Saints receivers by a wide margin. The 2025 per-game average of 5.1 points reflects a reduced role last season that no longer applies. Through two 2026 games, Vele has averaged 15.7 DK points and totaled 19.9 in Week 1. Las Vegas allowed the 14th most DK fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, and the Saints’ 23.5 team total as 3-point home favorites keeps the offense in a balanced game script. At $4,400, Vele is priced as a WR4 while functioning as a high-volume WR1.
Rashod Bateman ($4,700) — Ravens @ Cowboys
Game environment: Ravens -3.5, O/U 53.5 (28.5 team total)
Last week: 21.8 DK points vs. NO
2025 PPG: 4.1 DK fantasy points (13 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 7.7
Bateman benefits from the best combination of game environment and matchup on the slate. The 53.5 Over/Under is the week’s highest, and Dallas allowed the 32nd most DK fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, the most generous defense in the league. Bateman operates as Baltimore’s WR1 with 86% snap share and erupted for 21.8 DK points in Week 2 against New Orleans. The 2025 per-game average of 4.1 reflects a year where Bateman dealt with injuries and a smaller role. At $4,700 in a game projected for the most total points on the board, the salary-to-upside ratio is the best among all receivers outside the minimum price tier.
