The 2024 draft's No. 1 and No. 3 quarterbacks meet on Thursday night, and $300,000 goes to the best six-player lineup. Watch TNF Week 7 Showdown: Patriots at Bears, three Captain lineups (5 min), with captions The stories $300,000 to first $300,000 to first. DraftKings' $1.25 million Thursday Night Showdown costs $20 to enter and takes up to 73,529 entries. Showdown means one game. Pick a Captain, who scores 1.5 times the points at 1.5 times the salary, plus 5 FLEX players, all under a $50,000 cap, with at least one player from each team. No. 1 against No. 3 Here's the bigger story. Caleb Williams went No. 1 in the 2024 draft. Drake Maye went No. 3. They met once, in November 2024, and New England won 19-3 at Soldier Field. Both teams are 4-2 now. Williams missed three games with a hamstring strain, then came back last week with 30 of 36 for 305 yards. Maye threw 3 touchdown passes against the Jets. The line: Bears by 2.5, total 49.5 The line: the Bears are favored by 2.5 at DraftKings, with a total of 49.5. That puts Chicago at about 26 points and New England at 23.5. And the weather won't matter. About 61 degrees at kickoff, 5 mile an hour wind, no rain. Points per game: scored and allowed Chicago scores 25 a game and allows 19.8. New England scores 22.7 and allows 18.8, on a 3-game win streak. Two good defenses and a close line. So captain the volume, not the long shot. What last week said Last week: Williams completed 30 of 36. Maye threw 3 touchdowns with no interceptions. A.J. Brown drew 10 targets in his first game back, and turned them into only 3 catches. And D'Andre Swift scored twice on 44 rushing yards. The chalk: salaries and status The chalk. Maye is the most expensive player at $10,600, then Williams at $10,400 and Swift at $9,800. Two names on this board are out: Romeo Doubs is on injured reserve, and Kyle Monangai is out with toe and thumb injuries. Points per $1,000 of salary Value per $1,000 of salary. Kalif Raymond is the best price on the board at 2.76 points per thousand. At quarterback, Williams beats Maye, 2.1 to 1.93. And A.J. Brown is off this chart. He has 6 catches in two games. Who is out, and what it moves Who is out, and what it moves. Monangai's carries go to Roschon Johnson, at $4,400, and Swift. Johnson had 13 carries and a touchdown last week. Doubs' targets go to DeMario Douglas and Brown. And New England ruled out three cornerbacks, which helps Luther Burden and Rome Odunze. Captain: top, mid and high-risk picks Captains. The top pick is Caleb Williams at $15,600: the home favorite, fresh off 305 yards. The mid pick is Luther Burden at $12,600. 8 catches on 8 targets last week. And the bold call: A.J. Brown at $13,500. 10 targets in his return, and few lineups will captain him. SAFE lineup ($49,000): Captain + 5 FLEX The SAFE lineup, $49,000. Williams at Captain, with Maye, Burden, Douglas, Roschon Johnson and Kalif Raymond. Both quarterbacks, the top target on each side, and the back who replaces Monangai. MID lineup ($49,600): Captain + 5 FLEX The MID lineup, $49,600, bets on a Bears win. Burden at Captain, with Williams, Swift, Douglas, Hunter Henry and the Bears defense. Chicago's third-down defense is second-best in the league, and Maye has struggled with turnovers this season. HIGH RISK lineup ($49,100): Captain + 5 FLEX The HIGH RISK lineup, $49,100, bets on New England. A.J. Brown at Captain, with Maye, Williams, Douglas, Henry, and rookie Kyle Williams at $1,800. If Brown turns those targets into catches, few lineups will have him. The other side Now the other side. Brown has 6 catches in two games. 10 targets is a role, not production yet. Kyle Williams can score zero. And the under is 4-2 in these teams' games. A low-scoring night sinks every build that pays up for quarterbacks. Before lock: 6:45 PM ET Before lock: inactives drop at 6:45 PM Eastern. If Hunter Henry sits, swap in Eli Raridon at $2,200. If the total drops under 49, the SAFE build gains.
