Draftkings NFL DFS Picks: Commanders vs. Packers 9/11/25
Washington Commanders vs. Green Bay packers
September 11, 2025 8:15 pm EDT
The NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Washington Commanders vs. Green Bay Packers 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 tonight’s Commanders vs. Packers matchup.
Draftkings NFL DFS Picks
Captain-Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, Washington Commanders $11,000
Talented quarterback Jayden Daniels was certainly a standout performer for the Washington Commanders in 2024. With that said, how did Daniels perform from a statistical standpoint last season? Let’s review Jayden Daniels relevant key player game data from the 2024 NFL season to answer that question.
In the 17 games that quarterback Jayden Daniels played for the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL regular season, Allen amassed a rather impressive 3,568 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 891 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 17 games that quarterback Jayden Daniels played for the Washington Commanders last season, Daniels averaged 21.1 Draftkings points a game.
More recently, in the Washington Commanders 21-6 victory over the New York Giants last week, Jayden Daniels amassed 233 passing yards, one passing touchdown and 68 rushing yards.
What did we learn from the data just presented? The data presented clearly illustrates that Jayden Daniels can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. Having stated that, I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s regular season matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
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 opinion, Jayden Daniels is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.
Flex Plays
Deebo Samuel Sr., Wide Receiver, Washington Commanders $8,600
In addition to Jayden Daniels, wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was a key contributor for the Commanders in the team’s win last week.
In last week’s Washington Commanders victory over the New York Giants, Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels targeted Deebo Samuel Sr. ten times. In those ten targets, Samuel Sr. tallied seven receptions and 77 receiving yards.
