The NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Los Angeles Chargers and the Tennessee Titans. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Chargers vs. Tennessee Titans 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 afternoon’s Chargers vs. Titans matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Los Angeles Chargers $10,800
Talented quarterback Justin Herbert has certainly been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Chargers this season. Having stated that, how has Herbert performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review the veteran signal caller’s relevant key player game data from the 2025 NFL regular season to answer that question.
In the eight games that quarterback Justin Herbert has played for the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2025 NFL regular season, Herbert has amassed 2,140 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns and 248 rushing yards.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the seven games that Justin Herbert has played for the Los Angeles Chargers this season, Herbert is averaging a robust 21.6 Draftkings points a contest.
Two weeks ago, in the Indianapolis Colts 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert played exceptionally well. In the Colts defeat of the Chargers, Herbert compiled 420 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 31 rushing yards.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Colts victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Herbert tallied a whopping 32.9 Draftkings points.
I also like Justin Herbert’s matchup in this game. Why? The Tennessee Titans defense has had issues containing the quarterback position in 2025. In the last three games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Tennessee Titans rank a rather average 18th in total Draftkings points allowed (17.9) to the quarterback position a game.
In my view, Justin Herbert is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NFL Showdown DFS slate.

Ladd McConkey, Wide Receiver, Los Angeles Chargers $9,000
