May 20th: DraftKings/ FanDuel Free Madden Simulation Contest Advice
By Chris Brent
FanDuel is also offering a free Madden simulation but it is only one game slate. However, FanDuel is putting an interesting twist on the slate as they are moving Patrick Mahomes to the Bears and Mitchell Trubisky to the Chiefs. They are creating a game where the Bears made the correct pick and picked Mahomes over Trubisky in 2017. So here is how we are attacking that slate:
FanDuel Madden Simulation: Chicago Bears v. Kansas City Chiefs (8 pm Eastern)
In this simulation, Mahomes should be able to torch the Kansas City Chiefs defense. With the Bears lack of running game, I expect Allen Robinson to be heavily involved with Patrick Mahomes throwing the football.
Captain – 1.5x Fantasy Points
Allen Robinson ($12,000) – Robinson is my favorite captain play that helps you unique. Mahomes is the captain that everyone will play since there is no penalty to playing him in that spot. Mahomes is the safest play at the captain spot, as he should score the most fantasy points in this simulation.
Tarik Cohen ($8,000) – Cohen is very sneaky play in these fantasy simulations because he is cheap and he is capable of catching passes out of the backfield. Not sure Cohen is going to get much ownership considering that people will see Montgomery priced higher and starting and play him. Cohen plays a ton in these simulations, excellent play in all formats. I love pairing these two up with Mahomes to start your teams out.
Tyreke Hill ($13,500) – Hill’s speed in Madden is too high to ignore. Whether his quarterback is Patrick Mahomes or Mitchell Trubisky, he will be able to get open and Mitchell Trubisky has flashed some upside in these simulations. Plus, now Trubisky gets his fair shake with some of the best talent in the NFL to throw to. Mitch! This is your opportunity to shine, don’t ruin it!
Other decent values:
Trey Burton ($7,000) ; Demarcus Robinson ($8,500) ; Blake Bell ($5,000)
Best of luck! Win some free money!
