DraftKings DFS Value Plays

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers @ New York Jets

Projected DraftKings points: 17.1

Salary: $6,200

2025 PPG: 13.2 DK fantasy points (10 games)

Game environment: GB -5, O/U 46 (25.5 implied team total)

Watson erupted for 32.7 DK points in Week 1 and now faces a Jets secondary that ranked 20th against wide receivers in 2025 (35.8 DK PPG allowed). Green Bay’s 25.5 implied team total supports a high-scoring Packers offense, and Watson’s deep-threat ability creates ceiling access that few receivers at this price point can match. Jordan Love targeted Watson eight times in the opener, and the vertical passing game should remain a focal point with the Jets likely focused on slowing Josh Jacobs (OUT) and the run game.

Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cleveland Browns

Projected DraftKings points: 12.0

Salary: $6,400

2025 PPG: 11.4 DK fantasy points (17 games)

Game environment: TB -11, O/U 40 (25.5 implied team total)

Egbuka assumes WR1 duties in Tampa Bay and draws Cleveland’s fifth-ranked pass defense, but the Buccaneers’ 11-point spread and 25.5 implied team total suggest enough offensive volume to overcome the matchup. He logged 78% of snaps in Week 1 and posted 11.3 DK points on consistent targets from Baker Mayfield. At $6,400, he carries a floor that aligns with his price point while offering double-digit ceiling in a game Tampa should control.

Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Projected DraftKings points: 11.0

Salary: $5,000

2025 PPG: 12.3 DK fantasy points (14 games)

Game environment: LAC -6, O/U 43 (24.5 implied team total)

Johnston is underpriced relative to his role as the Chargers’ primary outside receiver. Las Vegas ranked 14th against wide receivers in 2025 (32.9 DK PPG allowed), and the Chargers’ 24.5 implied team total provides a favorable scoring environment. Johnston’s 64% snap share and alignment as the X receiver give him a target floor that makes $5,000 a value relative to his expected volume. The Week 1 dip (3.7 DK points) depresses his projection, but his 2025 baseline and role security remain intact.

Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons

Projected DraftKings points: 9.2

Salary: $5,100

2025 PPG: 8.1 DK fantasy points (11 games)

Game environment: CAR -1, O/U 44 (22.5 implied team total)

Coker exploded for 33.8 DK points in Week 1 and draws an Atlanta defense that ranked 15th against wide receivers in 2025 (33.3 DK PPG allowed). The Panthers are slight road favorites in a game with a 44-point total, giving Carolina’s passing game room to operate. Bryce Young’s breakout performance (32.4 DK points) suggests a real leap in the Panthers’ aerial attack, and Coker’s rapport with the QB was evident through his target volume. At $5,100 he remains affordable even after the Week 1 breakout.
