DraftKings Marketplace NFT Trends for August 2022
It’s Football SZN! We’re days away from the 2022-23 football season, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know we’ve launched DraftKings ReignMakers Football, which is an NFT-based fantasy football competition. To learn more about the rules, guidelines and gameplay, please visit the link here.
You can build out Reignmaker’s list and collection in several ways. Let’s break down each offensive position (QB, RB, WR, TE) and see how they performed in the Marketplace last month.
Quarterback
The NFL is a quarterback league; there are no two ways about it. Quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Sorry Hurts have weekly and league winning upside, so it’s no surprise that they’re performing well on the Marketplace. They are superstars. Josh Allen is the highest rated QB this season in all formats, including Reignmakers. Allen could be found starting as early as the second round in season-long drafts. Allen threw for 4,407 yards and 36 touchdowns in the regular season. He also ran for 763 yards and six TDs. Jalen Hurts can finish as the QB1 in all fantasy formats – his upside is huge. Eagles offense added AJ Brown, who averaged eight goals per game in 2021, and 19.1 DKFP in his final three games of the regular season. Hurts has the rushing ability and offensive weapons to take this offense to the next level, which is why he’s a hot card this season. Let’s look at the top six quarterback trades (no repeats):
Reignmakers: Quarterback
| NFT | Price |
|---|---|
| NFT | Price |
| Josh Allen: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmaker) | $14,400 |

| Lamar Jackson: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmakers) | $10,000 |
| Jalen Hurts: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmakers) | $7,900 |
Running back
The consensus No. 1 pick this season and in previous years are the runners. Jonathan tailor led the league in rushing last season by carries, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Still, the position can be fickle, and health can sometimes be an issue at running back. Christian McCaffrey has played in 10 games over the past two seasons, and we’ve seen second/third-string running backs play exceptionally well when the starter has to miss games. Most leagues implement a PPR (points per reception) scoring system, and running backs who can catch the ball out of the backfield present a ton of value for one simple reason – they can score points in multiple ways. McCaffrey, Austin Disgusting, D’Andre Fast, Aaron Jones Even Saquon Barkley are valuable fantasy assets. The Marketplace still thinks RBs are worth their weight in gold, or in this case, digital gold. Here are the five best from August:
Reignmakers: Running Backs
| NFT | Price |
|---|---|
| NFT | Price |
| Christian McCaffrey: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmaker) | $16,000 |
| Jonathan Taylor: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmaker) | $12,000 |
| Austin Ekeler: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmaker) | $10,999 |
| Dalvin Cook: 2022 Genesis Set (Reignmaker) | $9000 |
| Joe Mixon: 2022 Genesis Set Holo (Reignmaker) | $8,269 |
Wide Receivers / Tight Ends
Cooper Coup brought down the proverbial house last season with 1,947 receiving yards, 16 touchdowns and 11 targets per game. He also averaged 27.8 DKFP and booked a total of 145 receptions. This season is all about Justin Jefferson, who finished fourth at the WR position in most fantasy football scoring formats. Adding a new Minnesota Vikings head coach, Kevin O’Connell, has Jefferson as the No. 1 receiver off the board in this season’s fantasy and best ball leagues. Jefferson has also been seen taking reps in the backfield; it could be a huge year for the third-year wideout. Still, Marketplace has spoken, and they believe Kupp remains the most valuable asset on the Reignmakers this season. If the marketplace is any indication of future events, there could be a changing of the guard at the tight end position. Atlanta Falcons’ Kyle Pitts was the highest priced TE, followed by Travis Kelce and Darren Waller. Pitts ranked fourth in targets per snap and yards per route run, with a minimum of 50 targets, per PFF.com.
