"You still start with $50,000 for your squad, but instead of making a full fantasy lineup like you're used to in DFS, you instead pick any six players (although you must have at least one player from each team), regardless of position. One of these six players will be your captain, the anchor of your lineup. Your captain costs 1.5x their normal price, but you also get 1.5x their fantasy points."
"So let's start with the biggest decision we have to make for this lineup, the captain. In my mind there are two main options and two secondary options. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are both fantasy superstars that could drop 30 fantasy points on the other squad. They're the chalky picks this week. My next tier of options is one of Sam Darnold or Kenneth Walker III,"
DraftKings Showdown uses a $50,000 salary to select six players, with at least one player required from each team. One selected player becomes the captain, costing 1.5x salary and yielding 1.5x fantasy points, making the captain decision pivotal. Chalk captain choices include elite fantasy receivers such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while secondary captain options include Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker III. If a secondary option is not chosen as captain, pairing that player with the captain is a viable strategy. Seattle is favored to win, but positive game script matters; if the Patriots fall behind, Drake Maye may need to pass and run.
