October 13, 2025 7:15 pm EDT
The NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Buffalo Bills and the Atlanta Falcons. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Buffalo Bills vs. Atlanta Falcons game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for this week’s Buffalo Bills vs. Atlanta Falcons matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Josh Allen, Quarterback, Buffalo Bills $11,400
Talented quarterback Josh Allen has been the driving force behind the Buffalo Bills success on the offensive side of the football this season. With that said, how has Allen performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review Josh Allen’s relevant key player game data from the 2025 NFL season to better shed light on his overall contributions to his team.
In the five games that quarterback Josh Allen has played for the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 NFL regular season, Allen has amassed 1,217 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, 212 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the five games that Josh Allen has played for the Buffalo Bills this season, Allen has averaged a massive 25.6 Draftkings points a contest.
Two weeks ago, in the Buffalo Bills 31-19 win over the New Orleans Saints, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. In the Buffalo Bills defeat of the Saints, Allen compiled 209 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 45 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Buffalo Bills victory over the New Orleans just mentioned, Josh Allen tallied 25.9 Draftkings points.
What did we learn from the data just presented? The data clearly illustrates that Josh Allen can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. Having stated that, I fully expect that trend to continue in this week’s regular season matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NFL Football showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
In my view, Josh Allen is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this NFL regular season contest: Bijan Robinson, Running Back (Atlanta Falcons) $11,200: Khalil Shakir, Wide Receiver (Buffalo Bills) $7,600: Matt Prater, Kicker (Buffalo Bills) $5,000.
