DRAFTASTIC FREE AGENT REPORT 11/2-8
Your Weekly Guide to Free Agent Points
November 2–8 | Crown Jewel Chaos, Championship Gold & Double-Dip Opportunities
Crown Jewel takes center stage on Saturday, bringing some of the biggest potential point totals we've seen in a single week. With the Crown Jewel Championships offering up to 30 points and several wrestlers scheduled to compete multiple times across Raw, NXT, SmackDown, and Saturday's Premium Live Event, there's serious fantasy gold waiting to be claimed. But with limited free agent moves available, the question isn't simply who will win. It's who can deliver the biggest return on your investment.
Crown Jewel Championship | Saturday Crown Jewel
Potential Points: 10–30 each
Thirty points. Let that sink in. With the Crown Jewel Championship on the line, adding either Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn could be enough to completely change your position in the standings. These are the kinds of point totals that can turn an average fantasy week into an absolute monster. My money is on Roman Reigns walking away with that oversized belt and another championship that, let's be honest, doesn't mean much beyond the spectacle.
Women's Crown Jewel Championship | Saturday Crown Jewel
Potential Points: 10–30 each
Liv Morgan is on a roll, and I'm loving every minute of it. She's been one of the most exciting competitors to follow, and I don't see that momentum slowing down at Crown Jewel. In fact, I'm calling it now: Liv Morgan becomes a two-time Crown Jewel Champion. Of course, Chelsea Green has made a career out of proving people wrong, and overlooking her completely would be a mistake.
The Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) vs. Penta & Je'Von Evans
World Tag Team Championship | Saturday Crown Jewel
Potential Points: 4–16 each for The Vision | 4–17 each for Penta & Je'Von Evans
Here's where things get especially interesting for fantasy GMs. All four of these competitors are scheduled to wrestle twice this week, first in a six-man tag on Monday Night Raw and then in a championship showdown at Crown Jewel. That means you're not just investing in one match. You're potentially collecting points from two appearances, with championship gold and Premium Live Event scoring on the line.
Last Man Standing Match | Saturday Crown Jewel
Potential Points: 4–12 each
When Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton collide, you know things are going to get personal. Throw in a Last Man Standing stipulation, and you've got the recipe for an absolute war. Neither man is going to stay down easily, and with no traditional pinfalls or submissions to settle the score, expect these two to push each other to the limit.
Penta, Je'Von Evans & Dragon Lee vs. The Vision (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed & Austin Theory)
Monday Night Raw | Potential Points: 1–7 each if this is the main event
This is the match I'd circle on Monday night's calendar. With six explosive competitors involved and a World Tag Team Championship showdown looming at Crown Jewel, I wouldn't be surprised if this six-man tag closes the show. If it does, there could be up to seven points available per competitor, and that's before Saturday's championship match even takes place.
Chad Gable (c) vs. Ethan Page
Intercontinental Championship | Monday Night Raw
Potential Points: 1–7 for Gable | 1–8 for Page
Chad Gable has been on an epic run as Intercontinental Champion, and I don't see it ending on Monday Night Raw. Gable has proven himself to be one of the most reliable performers on the roster, and with another match scheduled for NXT later in the week, he's an especially intriguing fantasy option. Ethan Page certainly has an opportunity to shake things up, and an upset victory would provide a nice return for anyone willing to take that gamble. But I'm sticking with the champion.
Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys
Monday Night Raw | Potential Points: 1–3 each
This one has the potential to be a lot of fun. With WarGames looming at the end of the month, every match feels like it could have implications for the bigger picture. Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys both have an opportunity to build momentum heading into one of WWE's most chaotic events. From a fantasy perspective, the immediate reward is modest, with just three points available for correctly picking the winner.
CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
No Holds Barred Match | Friday Night SmackDown
Potential Points: 3–7 each
Two of WWE's biggest personalities, no holds barred, and absolutely no reason to expect anything resembling a friendly competition. CM Punk and Kevin Owens have never been known for holding back, and this matchup has all the ingredients for a wild Friday night main event. I'm predicting this one closes SmackDown, which would make either competitor a potentially valuable free agent pickup. But here's the real fantasy opportunity: Punk is also scheduled to challenge Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship earlier in the week. That means a Punk pickup could deliver points from two high-profile matches, including a championship opportunity.
Grayson Waller (c) vs. CM Punk
NXT Championship | Wednesday Night NXT
Potential Points: 1.5–4.5 for Waller | 1.5–5.5 for Punk
Now this is a matchup you don't see every week. Grayson Waller defending the NXT Championship against CM Punk brings some serious star power to the developmental brand, and there's no question in my mind that this will headline the show. Despite Punk's reputation and experience, I don't see Waller dropping the championship here. He's got too much momentum, and a victory over someone of Punk's stature would only strengthen his standing as champion.
Kelani Jordan (c) vs. Mystery Challenger
NXT Women's Championship | Wednesday Night NXT
Potential Points: 0.5–2.5 for Jordan
A mystery challenger always adds a little intrigue, especially when championship gold is involved. Kelani Jordan puts her NXT Women's Championship on the line against an opponent yet to be revealed, leaving fantasy GMs with an interesting decision.
Chad Gable, Dragon Lee & Rey Fenix vs. The Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes & Brad Baylor)
Wednesday Night NXT | Potential Points: 0.5–1.5 each
Six talented competitors, plenty of potential chaos, and another opportunity for the Vanity Project to remind everyone why they're so easy to dislike. With Chad Gable, Dragon Lee, and Rey Fenix teaming up, this match has the potential to be one of the most entertaining contests on NXT. But from a fantasy perspective, the scoring ceiling is fairly limited. The real value here belongs to Gable and Dragon Lee, who are both scheduled to compete on Monday Night Raw as well.
Unsanctioned Match | Wednesday Night NXT
Potential Points: 0.5–1.5 each
When a match is officially unsanctioned, you know things have gotten personal. Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox are set to settle their differences in a contest where the usual rules won't apply. Expect plenty of aggression, questionable decisions, and maybe a few moments that make the officials glad they're not responsible for what happens. Unfortunately for fantasy GMs, all that chaos doesn't necessarily translate into a big payday.
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic — Finals Hank & Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) vs. Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno
Wednesday Night NXT | Potential Points: 0.5–1.5 each
After weeks of competition, the road to Dusty Cup glory finally reaches its destination. Hank & Tank square off against Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno with the tournament trophy and bragging rights on the line. For the competitors involved, this is a huge opportunity. For fantasy GMs? Well, the points are a little less exciting. With just 0.5–1.5 points available per wrestler, even correctly picking the winning team won't provide much immediate impact on your weekly total. Still, tournament victories can lead to bigger opportunities down the road, and keeping an eye on the eventual winners could pay dividends as the season continues.
This Week's Free Agent Watchlist
• Top Pickup: Roman Reigns — My pick to capture the Crown Jewel Championship and potentially deliver 30 points.
• Women's Division Must-Add: Liv Morgan — I'm calling a second Crown Jewel Championship victory.
• Best Double-Dip Opportunity: Penta or Je'Von Evans — Two matches, championship gold, and a massive combined point ceiling.
• Sleeper Pick: Chad Gable — A championship defense on Raw and another appearance on NXT.
• Wild Card: CM Punk — Two major matches, including an NXT Championship opportunity and a No Holds Barred showdown.
• Match to Avoid: Cruz Montana vs. Dion Lennox — Plenty of chaos, but limited fantasy upside.
This isn't the week to settle for a couple of points when 20- and 30-point opportunities are sitting on the waiver wire. Study the schedule. Look for the double-dip opportunities. And most importantly, don't let your competition beat you to the biggest names.
