Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks: Jaguars vs. Raiders 11/2/25
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Las Vegas Raiders
November 2, 2025 4:05 pm EDT
This Sunday afternoon, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Las Vegas Raiders 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 Sunday afternoon’s Jaguars vs. Raiders matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Trevor Lawrence, Quarterback, Jacksonville Jaguars $9,800
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been a solid performer for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. With that said, how has Lawrence performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the talented signal caller’s relevant key player game data from the 2025 NFL season to answer that question.
In the seven games that quarterback Trevor Lawrence has played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL regular season, Lawrence has amassed 1,620 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, 113 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Earlier this month, in the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. In the Jaguars defeat of the Chiefs, Lawrence compiled 221 passing yards, one passing touchdown, 54 rushing yards and two rushing touchdwons.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Jaguars win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Trevor Lawrence tallied a massive 28.2 Draftkings points.
It should also be noted that I like Trevor Lawrence’s matchup in this game. Why? The Las Vegas Raiders defense has had issues containing the quarterback position in 2025. Upon the completion of eight games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Las Vegas Raiders rank a rather average 17th in total Draftkings points allowed (16.9) to the quarterback position a game.
In my view, Trevor Lawrence is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.
Flex Plays
Parker Washington, Wide Receiver, Jacksonville Jaguars $4,400
In addition to Trevor Lawrence, wide receiver Parker Washington has been a key contributor for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season.
In the seven games that Parker Washington has played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL regular season, Jacksonville starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence has targeted Washington 35 times. In those 35 targets just mentioned, Washington tallied 17 receptions, 207 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
*Earlier today, the Jacksonville Jaguars declared rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter as inactive for this game due to a knee injury. I think that Hunter’s absence from the lineup will open up more opportunities for Parker Washington from an offensive standpoint.
Flex plays I like to play well in this NFL regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Ashton Jeanty, Running Back (Las Vegas Raiders) $10,200: Brock Bowers, Tight End (Las Vegas Raiders) $8,000: Hunter Long, Tight End (Jacksonville Jaguars) $2,800.
