* Thursday Night salaries shown are FLEX prices from DraftKings Showdown contests, which use a Captain/FLEX format with different salary structures than the Sunday Main classic slate.
Players listed with TBD salaries play in Sunday Night Football (KC vs. IND) or Monday Night Football (LAR vs. NYG). DraftKings has not yet posted those Showdown contests — salaries will be updated once available.
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
Dallas Goedert ($4,800) — Eagles @ Titans
Game environment: Eagles -7, O/U 39.5 (23.0 team total)
Last week: 23.7 DK points vs. WSH
2025 PPG: 12.3 DK fantasy points (15 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 16.9
Goedert’s 23.7-point Week 1 against Washington was the second-highest tight end score on the slate, and he carries that momentum into a Tennessee defense that allowed the 24th most DK fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Philadelphia’s 7-point road spread means the Eagles should control this game, keeping Goedert in his full route tree without garbage-time adjustments. At $4,800, he is the cheapest top-5 tight end on the board and projects at 16.9 points, a number that would make him a value even at $6,000. The target volume from Week 1 reinforces his role as Jalen Hurts’ primary middle-of-field weapon.
Dalton Kincaid ($6,800) — Bills vs. Lions
Game environment: Bills -5.5, O/U 54.5 (30.0 team total)
Last week: 21.0 DK points @ HOU
2025 PPG: 10.5 DK fantasy points (12 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 14.4
Kincaid benefits from the best game environment of any tight end this week. Buffalo’s 30.0 team total leads the slate, and the 54.5 Over/Under projects a high-scoring Thursday night affair with Detroit. His 21.0-point Week 1 at Houston confirmed his return to a featured role after missing five games in 2025. At $6,800 from the Showdown FLEX slate, Kincaid carries a mid-range price for starting tight ends despite playing in the highest-scoring game on the board. The Bills should generate enough red-zone trips for Kincaid to access his touchdown upside alongside Josh Allen.
Travis Kelce (TBD) — Chiefs vs. Colts
Game environment: Chiefs -6.5, O/U 46.5 (26.5 team total)
Last week: 10.1 DK points vs. DEN
2025 PPG: 11.2 DK fantasy points (17 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 11.4
Kelce draws one of the better tight end matchups this week against an Indianapolis defense that allowed the 26th most DK fantasy points to the position in 2025. Kansas City’s 26.5 team total is the second highest on the slate, and the 6.5-point spread puts the Chiefs in a comfortable lead where they can deploy their full offensive package. Showdown FLEX salary will be updated once DraftKings posts the Sunday Night Football contest. Kelce runs 85-plus percent of routes in a Patrick Mahomes offense, and the game environment and touchdown equity project him as a strong cash-game anchor regardless of final pricing.
