NFT Deadfellaz Collection, partnered with one of the most popular fantasy sports brands DraftKings, to release card-shaped, zombie-themed NFTs for Halloween weekend.
The NFT project Deadfellaz joined through a strategic alliance with fantasy sports brand DraftKings and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) to release a total of 13 zombie cards based on professional NFL players.
The cards in question will be available on October 25 and will have two different levels of rarity, which will be: common and rare. In addition, each player will have their own versions of common and rare collectible cards.
