DraftKings is advertising $200 in Bonus Bets for eligible new users who place a $5 wager on the New England Patriots versus Seattle Seahawks season opener, according to Fox Sports.

The bookmaker is also promoting its King of the Endzone offer, which puts a share of $5 million in Bonus Bets on the player who scores the longest touchdown in the opener.

Fox Sports describes the Patriots as three-point underdogs and identifies Rhamondre Stevenson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba as players to watch. TreVeyon Henderson is reported to be ruled out, with Stevenson expected to take on a larger workload for New England.

Smith-Njigba is highlighted after recording 119 catches, 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns last season, according to Fox Sports.

The offers are promotional Bonus Bets rather than guaranteed cash. Eligibility, opt-in requirements, qualifying wagers and jurisdictional restrictions may apply, while odds and terms may change. Fox Sports says it may receive compensation from affiliate sign-ups or wagers.
