October 26, 2025 1:00 pm EDT
This Sunday afternoon, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Miami Dolphins 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 Dolphins vs. Falcons matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Bijan Robinson, Running Back, Atlanta Falcons $13,400
Running back Bijan Robinson has played exceptional football for the Atlanta Falcons this season. With that said, how has the talented running back performed from a data perspective? Let’s examine Robinson’s relevant player data from the 2025 NFL regular season to answer that question.
In the six games that Bijan Robinson has played for the Atlanta Falcons in the 2025 NFL regular season, Robinson has compiled a massive 524 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
The Atlanta Falcons have also utilized Bijan Robinson as a receiver in 2025. Let me elaborate on my previous statement. In the six games that starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has played for the Falcons in the 2025 NFL regular season, Penix Jr. has targeted Robinson 39 times. In those 39 targets just mentioned, Robinson amassed 30 receptions, 390 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
More recently, in the Atlanta Falcons 24-14 victory over the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago, Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson certainly played at a high level. More specifically, in the Falcons defeat of the Bills, Robinson tallied 170 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, eight receptions and 68 receiving yards.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Falcons defeat of the Bills, Bijan Robinson accumulated a whopping 38.8 Draftkings points.
Additionally, I like Bijan Robinson’s matchup in this game. Why? The Miami Dolphins defense has had issues containing the running back position in 2025. Upon the completion of seven games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Miami Dolphins rank an abysmal 28th in total Draftkings points allowed (24.2) to the running back position a game.
In my view, Bijan Robinson is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson 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): Drake London, Wide Receiver (Atlanta Falcons) $10,400: De’Von Achane, Running Back (Miami Dolphins) $11,400: Kyle Pitts Sr., Tight End (Atlanta Falcons) $5,800: Malik Washington, Wide Receiver (Miami Dolphins) $4,000.
