The New Orleans Saints host the Minnesota Vikings in the 2020 Wild Card round, and that brings with it DraftKings Showdown for the daily fantasy football crowd. You can play the full slate, but it can be more fun drilling down on a single game (or four single games if you want to play Showdown all weekend!).
DraftKings released pricing for the NFC Wild Card games on Thursday following AFC prices earlier in the week. We’ve dropped the full range of prices, covering both the Captain slots and Flex slots.
It’s no surprise Michael Thomas and Drew Brees top the list. It will be interesting to see how many people pair them up and go cheap much of the rest of the way. It would increase the degree of difficulty on the rest of the roster, but the Brees-Thomas connection is as close to a certainty as you can get in daily fantasy.
If you are looking for Sleeper Captain options, you might have to roll the dice on this turning into a shootout and Kirk Cousins having a big game. With Adam Thielen not 100 percent healthy, Stefon Diggs will continue seeing plenty of targets. Diggs, Cousins, or Dalvin Cook would be the best sleeper options if you’re comfortable rolling the dice on that. For the Saints, Alvin Kamara is worth a look as well.
