NFL Week 9 DraftKings Sunday Main Slate: Safe, Mid and High-Risk Lineups for the Millionaire Maker (14 min), with captions The story DraftKings' Week 9 NFL Sunday main slate features the $2.5 million Fantasy Football Millionaire contest, which costs $20 to enter and pays $1,000,000 to first place. The Classic format uses nine roster spots across 11 games under a $50,000 cap: one quarterback, two running backs, three receivers, a tight end, a flex and a defence. The contest takes 147,058 entries, and a single player may enter up to 150 of them. By Friday afternoon, 22,470 entries were already in. The slate's highest implied totals belong to San Francisco at 30.75 and Kansas City at 29.0, while Dallas and Detroit are each implied for 28.5. At the other end, Arizona is implied for 15.5 and Philadelphia for 17.5. Dallas at Indianapolis and Las Vegas at San Francisco share the slate's highest game total at 51.5, and New York at Philadelphia is the lowest at 38.5. No venue on the slate has weather worth adjusting for; Seattle is the windiest kickoff hour at 12 miles an hour with a 10% chance of rain. Several statuses bear watching before lock. Seattle's starting quarterback is listed out and Drew Lock is questionable at $4,000; he has thrown for 422 yards and 4 touchdowns in 4 games. Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable at $8,100 with 53 catches on 76 targets for 571 yards and 5 touchdowns in 7 games, and Christian McCaffrey is questionable at $8,000 with 84 carries for 389 yards and 8 touchdowns plus 34 catches in 7 games. Deshaun Watson is questionable with a concussion at $5,200 for a Cleveland side scoring 17.4 points a game. The three builds differ in structure. The safe lineup at $49,900 is built around Jared Goff at $6,600 and Kenneth Walker III at $9,000, with Dalton Schultz at $3,200 cited as the best tight-end price on the board at 3.03 DraftKings points per $1,000. The mid lineup at $49,800 stacks four pieces from Dallas at Indianapolis, including Dak Prescott at $6,500 and Jonathan Taylor at $7,500 as the bring-back. The high-risk build spends all $50,000, led by Kirk Cousins at $5,300, whose 19 touchdown passes are the most among slate quarterbacks, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at $9,300, who has 985 receiving yards. Inactives land 90 minutes before each kickoff: 11:30 AM Eastern for the seven one o'clock games, 2:35 PM for Houston at the Chargers, and 2:55 PM for the late games. All three builds are legal as they stand, with nine slots, no player used twice and no player carrying an out or doubtful tag. DraftKings publishes no ownership before the first kickoff, and last week's winning Millionaire lineup, score and ownership are not published.
