December 15, 2024 8:20 pm EDT
This Sunday night, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Let’s take a look at this NFL game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks 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 Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Jordan Love, Quarterback, Green Bay Packers $10,200
Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love has played a pivotal role in the Packers offensive achievements this season. To assess his performance statistically, let’s examine Jordan Love’s key player data from the 2024 NFL regular season.
In the 11 games that Jordan Love has played for the Green Bay Packers in the 2024 NFL regular season, Love has compiled 2,724 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, 71 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.
More recently, in the Green Bay Packers dominating 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago, Green Bay signal caller Jordan Love accumulated 274 passing yards and two passing touchdowns.
Upon examining the recently presented data more closely, it’s evident that in the Green Bay Packers win over the Miami Dolphins, Jordan Love accrued 19.1 DraftKings points. What does this reveal? It indicates that Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love is indeed performing exceptionally well as he heads into this week’s game against the Detroit Lions.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NFL 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 determine which player to select as your captain for this one game Draftkings contest.
In my opinion, Jordan Love is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Green Bay starting quarterback Jordan Love at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NFL Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
Zach Charbonnet, Running Back, Seattle Seahawks $9,000
Running back Zach Charbonnet has undeniably been a significant asset to the Seattle Seahawks offense recently. To evaluate his contribution, let’s examine Charbonnet’s recent statistics from this season to illuminate the impact he has made.
Last week, in the Seattle Seahawks dominating 30-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle running back Zach Charbonnet amassed 134 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, seven receptions and 59 receiving yards
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Seahawks win over the Cardinals, Zach Charbonnet compiled a robust 41.3 Draftkings points.
Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Geno Smith, Quarterback (Seattle Seahawks) $9,800: Dontayvion Wicks, Wide Receiver (Green Bay Packers) $5,400.
