What was said

… What's that mean? You saw this last Wednesday: Seahawks, Patriots, kick off to start the season, and before the first drive is over, Sam D'arnold, boom, out for the whole game, out for a couple games.

What we found

Supports. PrizePicks' Reboots policy covers NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB and college football players and activates when a player leaves the game in the first half and does not return in the second half.[2]

Context. The policy is a lineup reversion (the player is marked DNP and the lineup can still cash at a lower payout), not a full refund, and it excludes certain stat types and preseason games.[2]

Context. The claim's wording 'does not finish the first half' is a loose paraphrase of the policy's trigger, which also requires the player not to return in the second half; the core protection is unchanged.[2]

Context. No source published near 2026-09-13 addresses the policy, and the 2020 PrizePicks partnership coverage is unrelated.[1]
