DraftKings Reignmakers NFL Week 4 Diary: NFT Portfolio Insights, Game Stacks & Top Selections
Last week was a high-scoring fantasy week, and now we're heading into Week 4 with the largest DraftKings Reignmakers prize pool of the season, featuring two chances to win $100K. In this article, I'll share my strategies for planning and preparing for the upcoming contests, helping you make the most of your cards.
Upcoming Contests
First, it's crucial to familiarize everyone with the upcoming portfolio strategies, as many of them revolve around these contests. Here are the next set of significant contests in the DraftKings Reignmakers game, all being played today:
- $180K GTD, $100K to First ELITE
- $250K GTD, $100K to First CORE "RUSH only"
- $100K GTD, $20K to First RARE "International Only"
Portfolio Recap & Strategy for Week 4
After DraftKings revealed the future utility of cards, I chose to retain most of my portfolio, emphasizing building my 2023 collection via my extensive 2022 collection, which boasts over 1,500 NFT cards with top-tier players.
Thanks to Lucky Trader's lineup optimizer, we can now seamlessly create our lineups.

As the week went on, I found myself regularly checking the activity feed on DraftKings. I was constantly adding lower serial editions of players who were expected to perform well in the upcoming slate. It's always exciting to chase the big prizes, especially with the contest being played at the CORE tier and the added advantage of the Lineup Optimizer, which made creating over 70 lineups a breeze!
Now, let's move on to the ELITE tier, where the other $100K to first-place contest is happening. It was a challenging week for my smaller ELITE collection because Aaron Jones and Calvin Ridley were both scheduled for showdown games. This created a bit of a logjam in terms of top-end talent for my No. 1 lineup. So, after purchasing De'Von Achane early on Sunday last week before his prices skyrocketed, and doing the same for the returning star WR Jaylen Waddle, buying a Tua Tagovailoa RARE card was an easy decision. With Justin Jefferson as the anchor of that lineup, only one more player was left to fill that spot.
After starting Aaron Jones in the Deep Roster format, and seeing him have a disappointing game, I decided to move all my Sunday classic slate players, including Justin Fields, Roschon Johnson, Jahan Dotson, and two players starting in the 4:00 pm window. If Fields, Johnson, and Dotson end up having ceiling games, I can use some of those stars from the 4:00 p.m. window to try and improve my second ELITE lineup. Perhaps even create a Cowboys stack with Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb.
