Like Fanduel, Draft Kings will be running the same style of NFL lineup that consists of five flex options and the MVP for tonight's Super Bowl.

Draft: Mike Evans, vs Kansas City Chiefs

Draft Kings Salary: $8,400

Why Draft Kings lineup owners should draft Mike Evans: Mike Evans has had a great 2021 NFL playoffs. He is a matchup nightmare when it comes to size for majority of the corners in the NFL. The Chiefs do not have a big physical cornerback that can matchup with Mike Evans. Brady will look his way more in the redzone during the Super Bowl.


Flex Option 5: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce is easily the best tight end in the NFL today. He has had an amazing run in the 2021 NFL playoffs. In the Super Bowl, a lot of the attention will be on Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce will have the opportunity to have a huge NFL Super Bowl game for the Chiefs. We can expect a similar output like Travis Kelce had against the Buffalo Bills. If Kelce can get started early he will walk away with the 2021 NFL Super Bowl MVP award.
