DraftKings just launched a Week 2 Best Ball GPP contest called the "NFL $150K Week 2 Special". It is a $20 entry with 150 lineups max and it has a top prize of $50,000. The contest goes live on Thursday, September 16th before the kickoff of the Bengals and the Browns game.
The contest has a total of 8,640 entries available with just over 2,000 already spoken for early Wednesday morning. If you are not familiar with how Best Ball works it is an easy game to learn. On Draftkings you draft 20 players in 12-man leagues (a total of 240 players will be drafted by all 12 teams). After the draft is over you never have to worry about setting a weekly lineup or claiming players on the waiver wire. How it works is that your top-scoring 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, and 1Flex (RB/WR/TE) will automatically start for you each week.
I put together my Top 260 player Rankings which can be found below or also in this google doc.
