Cheat Sheet and Projections

We have reviewed players from each team in the Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm match-up to help you find the best picks on Friday's slate.

Selection Player Salary Proj. Pts Pts/$1K
Stud Jahrome Hughes (MEL, FLEX/HH) $20,250 65.3 3.2
Value Nelson Asofa-Solomona (MEL, FLEX/FWD) $8,000 40 5
Fade Sualauvi Faalogo (MEL, FLEX/OB) $11,060 20.8 1.9
Cheapie Bronson Garlick (MEL, HH/FLEX) $8,000 37 4.6

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks offer the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.

Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options highlight the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.

In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.

The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

On the other hand, according to our model, Sualauvi Faalogo is one of the lowest value options in this game, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if entering multiple line-ups.
