See how the winning entries had their best moments in the NFL Week 2 Fantasy Football Millionaire Contest on DraftKings.
His perfect combination of choke and contrarian play earned him the top spot as a Week 2 fantasy football millionaire on DraftKings. Sampit16 threaded the needle perfectly for the best moment of week two. This entry earned 229.92 fantasy points and took the top spot after 13 games on Sunday afternoon.
The winning work looked like this.
This week’s top performer on DraftKings was Alvin Kamara ($7,000, 47 FPTS), who ran for the Cowboys in Dallas and finished with 15 fantasy points, the most of any player participating. He had two catches for 115 rushing yards and 65 receiving yards with four touchdowns.

Kamara was owned by less than 5% of the lineup, making him a key differentiator for Sampit16 and many of the other top entries heading into this week’s “moment of glory.”
Kamara was successful against the choke, but the other running back’s spot was as much “free space” as it was on the board Sunday. Jordan Mason ($5,200, 20.4 FPTS) rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown for the second straight week in place of injured Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf). News of CMC’s injury was announced late in the week after the salary announcement, so Mason was still priced as a reserve, but his star-like performance could potentially see his salary jump significantly in Week 3. expensive.
At wide receiver, Sampit 16’s winning entry had two rookies who were active in Week 2. Although the Giants lost to the Commanders at the end of regulation, Malik Nabors ($5,900, 31.7 FPTS) gained over 100 yards, his first career rushing yards. NFL touchdown.
The winning entry partnered with Nabers with a cheap QB and used Daniel Jones ($5,300, 18.3 FPTS) as a solid value. Jones finished the week as the No. 7 QB and showed solid value, especially when paired with top productive wide receivers.

The only receiver taken ahead of Nabers in last year’s NFL Draft was Marvin Harrison Jr. ($6,900, 32 FPTS). After a disappointing first week, MHJ responded to Nabers’ big game with a breakout performance of his own late in the game.
Harrison has been the top scoring wide receiver so far this week, totaling 130 yards on four catches on eight targets and scoring his first two touchdowns in the NFL.

Although Mr. Harrison exerted strong influence with just 3.6% ownership, he was not the only Cardinal in the winning entry. Trey McBride ($6,000, 18.7 FPTS) also had a nice rebound after Week 1, catching all six targets for 67 yards. He did not score a receiving touchdown, but did score a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter after teammate James Conner fumbled into the end zone.
Chris Godwin ($6,000, 27.7 FPTS) and JK Dobbins ($5,400, 23.1 FPTS) had fairly mixed play with over 20% ownership against the Lions and Panthers, respectively. However, both veterans showed great performance, rushing for over 100 yards and one touchdown.
Rounding out the winning entry, Cardinals’ DST ($2,300, 11 FPTS) had a big day as a value option holding the Rams to just 10 points and forcing a fumble while picking up five sacks.
By using the Cardinals on defense and Jones as QB, this entry provides solid value while still having enough salary to make up for all of the departed stars.
