Vegas sportsbooks opened with totals as excessive as 53.5, so it’s cheap to count on loads of scoring between these AFC West foes. Regardless that we’re all-in on some high-flying motion, you received’t discover many large receivers in our DraftKings Showdown lineup. With so many worthwhile DFS choices, we’re going to keep away from the duty of figuring out which one or two receivers will emerge from the pack.

Here is a reminder of FanDuel’s scoring system for single-game contests: The purpose whole for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, however he does not price any extra cash just like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel’s default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point passing TDs, and there are  no  bonuses for 300-yard/100-yard video games like on DraftKings.
