NFL showdown · NE at CHI
DraftKings salaries as of Oct 21, 1:35 AM ET · NE at CHI · $50K cap
How this works
Showdown draft group 155204. Captain salary and points are 1.5× the flex row. Both teams are required. 22 players have our median. Defenses use the Week 7 median from sacks, turnovers, and points-allowed tiers. Return touchdowns, safeties, and blocked kicks are not in that number. Kickers are on the salary list and have no projection, so they stay out of the build. Lineup p90 uses a Gaussian copula from 2023–25 same-game pairs. Blueprint rules, when turned on, shape which lineups get built. The projected points on each card don't change.
Game shapes
Pick one. The chance is the market, from the spread and total, not a player projection.
Other outcomes: 2%
Pick a game shape, then change one rule or a player, before a lineup is built.
