Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks: Packers vs. Steelers 10/26/25

On Sunday night, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers 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 tomorrow night’s Packers vs. Steelers matchup.

Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks

Captain-Jordan Love, Quarterback, Green Bay Packers $10,000

Veteran quarterback Jordan Love has been a standout performer for the Green Bay Packers in 2025. With that said, how has Love performed from a statistical perspective this season? Let’s review the talented signal caller’s relevant key player data from the 2025 NFL regular season to better shed light on Love’s overall contributions to his team.

In the six games that quarterback Jordan Love has played for the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 NFL regular season, Love has amassed 1,438 passing yards, ten passing touchdowns and 110 rushing yards.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the six games that Jordan Love has played for the Green Bay Packers in 2025, Jordan Love is averaging a rather impressive 18.1 Draftkings points a game.

Four weeks ago, in the Green Bay Packers 40-40 overtime tie with the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love played exceptionally well. For clarity, let me elaborate on my previous statement. In the Green Bay Packers tie with the Dallas Cowboys, Love tallied 337 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 28 rushing yards.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Packers 40-40 tie with the Cowboys, Love accumulated a massive 30.3 Draftkings points.

What is the primary reason I like Jordan Love at the captain position? From a DFS construction standpoint, Love offers direct access to all Green Bay Packers touchdowns and passing yardage, which is critical in Showdown formats where capturing every scoring event is paramount.

I also like Jordan Love’s matchup in this game. Why? The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has had issues containing the quarterback position this season. In the seven games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Pittsburgh Steelers rank a rather low 25th in total Draftkings points allowed (20.6) to the quarterback position a game.

In my view, Jordan Love is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.

Flex plays I like to play well in this NFL regular season contest: Aaron Rodgers, Quarterback (Pittsburgh Steelers) $9,800: Josh Jacobs, Running Back (Green Bay Packers) $11,000: Jonnu Smith, Tight End (Pittsburgh Steelers) $4,200: Tucker Kraft, Tight End (Green Bay Packers) $8,400.
