Read the Captain lineup analysis and later checks . DraftKings Showdown salaries for Bills–Rams on October 12, 2026 are published for the players below, but the two sources that carry them disagree on the game's kickoff time and on the spread, and no source in this set publishes Captain and FLEX ownership percentages for this slate. CoverTheSlate lists a full Captain/FLEX price pair for five players and FLEX-only prices for the rest [1] ; DraftEdge lists a single DraftKings price per player that matches CoverTheSlate's FLEX column where both exist [3] . The "Projected Captain and FLEX Ownership" heading on the CoverTheSlate page is followed by the line "Ownership estimates are unavailable" [1] . Salaries: Captain and FLEX Player Pos Team CPT FLEX Source Josh Allen QB BUF $17,700 $11,800 CoverTheSlate [1] Puka Nacua WR LAR $17,100 $11,400 CoverTheSlate [1] James Cook III RB BUF $15,900 $10,600 CoverTheSlate [1] Kyren Williams RB LAR $14,700 $9,800 CoverTheSlate [1] Davante Adams WR LAR $14,100 $9,400 CoverTheSlate [1] Matthew Stafford QB LAR $13,500 $9,000 CoverTheSlate [1] Khalil Shakir WR BUF — $7,000 CoverTheSlate [1] Dalton Kincaid TE BUF — $6,600 CoverTheSlate [1] Keon Coleman WR BUF — $5,600 CoverTheSlate [1] Tyler Higbee TE LAR — $4,400 CoverTheSlate [1] Blake Corum RB LAR — (truncated in source) CoverTheSlate [1] Ty Johnson RB BUF — $3,200 CoverTheSlate [1] Joshua Palmer WR BUF — $3,000 CoverTheSlate [9] Dawson Knox TE BUF — $2,600 CoverTheSlate [1] Colby Parkinson TE LAR — $2,400 CoverTheSlate [1] Konata Mumpfield WR LAR — $2,200 CoverTheSlate [1] Skyler Bell WR BUF — $200 CoverTheSlate [1] [9] DraftEdge's single-price table agrees with the FLEX column on every overlapping name: Allen $7,400, Cook $7,100, Kincaid $5,100, Shakir $5,000, Coleman $4,600, Stafford $6,000, Nacua $7,800, Williams $6,400, Adams $6,800, Higbee $3,300, Corum $4,900, Parkinson $2,900, Ty Johnson $4,100 [3] . That is a separate salary set from the Showdown prices — DraftEdge labels its table as DraftKings prices for a game it projects with a 25.5/29.0 implied split, and the values are roughly 60–65% of the Showdown FLEX prices, which is the expected relationship between a main-slate salary and a single-game salary. Treat the DraftEdge numbers as main-slate prices, not Showdown prices. CoverTheSlate's own sample lineup uses the FLEX prices and totals $49,900 against a $50,000 cap: CPT Kyren Williams $14,700; FLEX Josh Allen $11,800; FLEX Matthew Stafford $9,000; FLEX Dalton Kincaid $6,600; FLEX Keon Coleman $5,600; FLEX Konata Mumpfield $2,200 [1] . The slate is described as one Captain and five FLEX players under a $50,000 cap [1] . Footballguys confirms the format mechanics: the multiplier slot costs 1.5x salary and earns 1.5x points on both DraftKings and FanDuel [2] . Ownership projections No source in this set publishes Captain or FLEX ownership percentages for this game. CoverTheSlate's ownership section is headed "Projected Captain and FLEX Ownership" and contains the statement "Ownership estimates are unavailable" [1] . The article's framing — "Projected Captain and FLEX Ownership" followed by per-player salary notes — describes salary and role, not rostership [1] . The only ownership numbers in the source set are for the Sunday main slate, not this game: FTN lists projected DraftKings ownership for Brissett (17.4%), Goff (14.2%), Bagent (7.3%), Gibbs (33.3%), Warren (30.2%), Chase Brown (22.1%), St. Brown (25.0%), Michael Wilson (23.2%), Burden (14.4%), McBride (28.5%), LaPorta (11.9%) and Likely (14.4%) [26] . CoverTheSlate's main-slate ownership piece states "Ownership estimates are unavailable" and gives one figure, Jaylen Warren at 22% projected ownership [19] . None of these apply to Bills–Rams. RotoGrinders' ShowdownHQ for Rams–Broncos on September 27 is a different game and its content is paywalled [25] . The Week 5 Pick Six Show and Sunday Best are main-slate products [23] [24] . The Expert Survey covers the main slate and names no Bills or Rams players [22] .
