Here are this week’s top-value DraftKings and FanDuel plays for Sunday’s main slate, including projected points and value based on salary. I’ve also included notes on a few of these players, including Bo Nix, Woody Marks, and Matthew Golden.

Quarterbacks
Bo Nix (DEN) at ARI
DraftKings: $5,400/FanDuel: $7,200
There’s a ton of great value at quarterback this week, but since I’m writing about a Packer and a Texan below, let’s go with Nix, the cheapest DK option among the top three projected values. He’s the cheapest for a reason, as he has scored less than eight fantasy points in three of his starts this season. He wouldn’t be on anyone’s radar if not for the matchup, as the Cardinals are giving up 0.65 fantasy points per dropback, the highest of any team since 2016.
Also consider: Jordan Love (GB) in DK at $6.0K and FD at $7.6K
“He has exceeded salary-based expectations in four of his six games this season, including each of his last two contests… Look for Love to light it up again in this matchup. He has the potential to be the top QB on the slate even at his relatively affordable salary.” — Zach Thompson, Fantasy Labs
Running Backs
Woody Marks (HOU) vs. NYG
DraftKings: $5,600/FanDuel: $6,200
David Montgomery is out this week against the Giants, which means Marks will lead the backfield in what should be a favorable game script. He hasn’t had much success with his starting opportunities so far, including 56 rushing yards on 15 carries last week, but this game could give him enough volume to produce solid fantasy points.
Also consider: Bucky Irving (TB) in DK at $6.1K
“Bucky gets his QB1 back with Baker under center, and with Emeka Egbuka out, he’ll likely be leaned on heavily as both a runner and a receiver.” — Dan Paylo, RotoBaller.com
Wide Receivers
Matthew Golden (GB) at DET
DraftKings: $6,000/FanDuel: $6,700
Coming off 13 targets for 6 catches, 104 yards, and a touchdown, Golden has now been targeted 39 times over the past four games. He has 348 receiving yards and three TDs over this same span. Next up is a Lions team allowing the most passing yards per game so far this season.
Also consider: Jalen Coker (CAR) in DK at $6.1 and FD at $6.2K
“I love what Tetairoa McMillan has been doing, but I’ll take the $1,000 discount on Jalen Coker, who has quietly produced similarly when they’re on the field together.” — Frank Ammirante, FantasyPros.com
Tight Ends
Chart metrics explained
FPPG - The player’s fantasy points per game scored so far in 2025, based on the respective DFS platform (see DraftKings and FanDuel scoring rules).
DvP - Stands for Defense vs. Position. The higher the rank (i.e. 1), the better the defense is, and therefore, the worse the fantasy matchup is for the player.
Value - A metric projecting how much return on investment a player will deliver, based on their salary and projected performance (Proj.)
