May 20th: DraftKings/ FanDuel Free Madden Simulation Contest Advice
By Chris Brent
Welcome back fantasy sports fans. As we are all going through weird or difficult times, we have an opportunity to grow our bankroll with multiple free contest offerings through DraftKings and FanDuel. Not much contest on these contest, but I am going to take you through each free contest and give some thoughts of how I am attacking each of them. All contest will cost you exactly $0 to enter.
DraftKings Madden Simulation: (12pm Eastern Time)
DraftKings Madden Simulation contest is a bunch of fun, there are six different games and eight different slates for a cost of exactly $0 for you to enter. If you ship everything, you could potentially win over $1,000.
Quarterback:
Ben Roethlisberger, PIT ($6,500)
Roethlisberger is my top quarterback on this slate, due to his price tag and matchup. Although Ben has been up-and-down in these Madden simulations, however, the Detroit Lions have looked absolutely brutal in every simulation. Roethlisberger is where I start my teams tomorrow.
Running Back:
Damian Williams, KC ($5,900)
Tampa Bay’s run defense is pretty solid, however the price tag is silly on Williams. Williams is an absolute lock in these simulations as he is heavily involved in the passing game and running game. Also helps get you exposure to the Kansas City/ Tampa Bay game.
Wide Receiver:
James Washington, PIT ($3,700)
Washington is where we save while building our lineups. Washington has high upside and is capable of producing a long touchdown at any point in the simulation. Washington is on absolute fire in these simulations. We get a cheap stack with a quarterback against a terrible defense.
Tight End:
Darren Waller, OAK ($5,100)
Waller gets a favorable matchup against the Cardinals. Waller has been up-and-down in these simulations as well, all depends on if one of his receivers have a big game. Waller will be a chalky tight end option tomorrow, but it’s smart chalk.
Showdown Quick Hits:
Captain Picks:
TB v. KC – Demarcus Robinson ($6,600)
OAK v. ARI – Darren Waller ($12,000)
MIN v. NYG – Dalvin Cook ($13,800)
SF v. IND – Tevin Coleman ($12,000)
BAL v. CHI – Lamar Jackson ($17,400)
PIT v. DET – James Washington ($8,400)
