Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks: Panthers vs. Packers 11/2/25
Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers
November 2, 2025 1:00 pm EDT
On Sunday afternoon, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Carolina Panthers and the Green Bay Packers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Carolina Panthers 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 this week’s Panthers vs. Packers matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Jordan Love, Quarterback, Green Bay Packers $10,600
Veteran quarterback Jordan Love has been the driving force behind the Green Bay Packers success on the offensive side of the football 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.
Earlier this season, in the Green Bay Packers 40-40 overtime tie with the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. In the Green Bay Packers tie with the Dallas Cowboys, Love tallied 337 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 28 rushing yards.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the Packers tie with the Cowboys, Jordan Love tallied 30.3 Draftkings points.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love is playing quality football in 2025. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in Sunday afternoon’s NFL regular season matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
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 view, 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 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: Bryce Young, Quarterback (Carolina Panthers) $9,000: Josh Jacobs, Running Back (Green Bay Packers) $11,400: Tucker Kraft, Tight End (Green Bay Packers) $8,600.
