Monday Showdown Week 1

Disclaimer

These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options and in MME contests there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

This one is all about the Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson. We have first-ballot Hall of Famer, Wilson, on one side and journeyman Geno Smith on the other. These are my favorite showdown slates because we're able to create lineups massively in favor of the Broncos' superior offense.

Captain Consideration:

  1. Russell Wilson
  2. Javonte Williams
  3. Courtland Sutton
  4. Jerry Jeudy
  5. Melvin Gordon
