On Monday night, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars 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 Monday night’s Chiefs vs. Jaguars matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs $10,600
Unless you have been living under a rock the last decade, you are aware that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent. With that said, how has the veteran signal caller performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review Mahomes relevant key player game data from the 2025 NFL season to answer that question.
In the four games that quarterback Patrick Mahomes has played for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2025 NFL regular season, Mahomes has amassed 939 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, 130 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the the four games that quarterback Patrick Mahomes has played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, Mahomes is averaging a rather impressive 22.4 Draftkings points a contest
More recently, in the Philadelphia Eagles thrilling 20-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs three weeks ago, Patrick Mahomes certainly played at a high level. More specifically, in the Eagles defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs just mentioned, Mahomes tallied 187 passing yards, one passing touchdown, 66 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Patrick Mahomes is currently playing quality football. Having stated that, I fully expect that trend to continue in Monday night’s matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Additionally, I like Patrick Mahomes matchup in this game. Why? The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has had issues containing the quarterback position in 2025. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of four games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Jacksonville Jaguars rank a rather low 20h in total Draftkings points allowed (19.5) to the quarterback position a game.
In my view, Patrick Mahomes is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this NFL regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Trevor Lawrence, Quarterback (Jacksonville Jaguars) $9,200: Travis Etienne Jr., Wide Receiver (Jacksonville Jaguars) $9,800: Brenton Strange, Tight End (Jacksonville Jaguars) $4,600.
