The slots and the cap of each site's next Classic slate.

FanDuel's SuperFlex slates have no yardage bonus. A DraftKings Showdown captain and a FanDuel single game MVP score 1.5 times the points, and cost 1.5 times the salary. DFS Studio scores its projections and each slate's results with these rules.
