SNF Week 9 DraftKings Showdown Captain Lineups: Buccaneers at Bears (9 min), with captions The story DraftKings' $1 million Sunday Night Showdown for Week 9's Buccaneers at Bears costs $20 to enter and takes up to 58,823 entries, with $250,000 to first. The contest is a one-game Showdown format: a Captain who scores 1.5 times the points at 1.5 times the salary, plus five FLEX spots under a $50,000 cap, with at least one player from each team. A single player can enter up to 150 lineups. The game sets up as a matchup of the NFL's two best running teams. Tampa Bay runs for 168.6 yards a game, the most in the league, and Chicago is second at 150.8. The Bears are favored by 6 with a total of 47.5, putting Chicago at about 26.75 points and Tampa Bay at about 20.75. Soldier Field is open air and grass, with a forecast at kickoff of about 51 degrees, 10 mph wind and no rain. Tampa Bay's ground game dominated its November 1 win at Atlanta, 16-0. The Buccaneers ran 56 times for 324 yards; Bucky Irving carried 27 times for 170 yards and Kenny Gainwell 25 times for 140. Baker Mayfield threw 3 passes and completed none, and all 15 of Tampa Bay's first downs came on the ground. Tampa Bay throws for 131.4 net yards a game, the fewest in the NFL. Chicago has won three straight, including 34-17 over Seattle last week, when D'Andre Swift carried 27 times for 69 yards and 3 touchdowns. Caleb Williams is the most expensive player on the board at $10,800, or $16,200 as Captain, after 860 yards and 4 touchdowns with no interceptions in his three games back from a hamstring injury. Swift is $10,000 and Irving $9,800. Two statuses matter before lock. Kyle Monangai is questionable with a toe sprain and has not played since October 4; NFL Network reported Sunday morning that he is not slated to play and should return after the bye. Emeka Egbuka is questionable with a foot injury and has not played since October 18, but was reported Sunday morning as slated to return. Inactives land at 6:50 PM Eastern, 90 minutes before the 8:20 kickoff. Suggested builds include a safe lineup at $49,400 captaining Williams with Swift, Colston Loveland, Rome Odunze, Chase McLaughlin and the Buccaneers defense. A mid lineup at $49,400 captains Swift, and a high-risk lineup at $49,600 captains Gainwell alongside Irving. The case for Gainwell is leverage: he costs half as much as Irving after matching him in carries at Atlanta, and a roster that matches the field cannot win the $250,000.
