I don’t know if DraftKings user “AntmanDAchamp24” was a Baker Mayfield fan before Thursday night’s game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, but he certainly is now.
AntmanDAchamp24 is now $250,000 richer thanks to his first-place lineup in the DraftKings $1 Million Thursday Night Showdown.
He rostered the Browns’ backup starting QB at just 0.58% ownership in one of his FLEX positions. It was certainly risky, but it obviously paid off in a huge way:
On the other side of the spectrum, a FanDuel user dropped out of the $250,000 first-place spot in the final drive thanks to Sam Darnold’s interception.
These rookie QBs were highly debated in this summer’s draft, and while they likely won’t make a difference for meaningful playoff football this fall, they certainly did tonight — for better or for worse.
Brutal beat.
