November 2, 2025 8:20 pm EDT
On Sunday night, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Commanders. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Seattle Seahawks vs. Washington Commanders 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 Seahawks vs. Commanders matchup.
Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Sam Darnold, Quarterback, Seattle Seahawks $10,600
Veteran signal caller Sam Darnold has been a solid performer for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. With that said, how has Darnold performed from a statistical standpoint this season? Let’s review the talented quarterback’s relevant key player game data from the 2025 NFL regular season to better shed light on his overall contributions to his team.
In the seven games that quarterback Sam Darnold has played for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2025 NFL regular season, Darnold has amassed 1,754 passing yards, four passing touchdowns and 41 rushing yards.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the the seven games that Sam Darnold has played for the Seattle Seahawks this season, Darnold is averaging a robust 17.1 Draftkings points a contest
Three weeks ago, in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold played exceptionally well. In the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat of the Seahawks just noted, Darnold tallied a whopping 341 passing yards and four passing touchdowns.
Additionally, I like Sam Darnold’s matchup in this game. Why? The Washington Commanders defense has had issues containing the quarterback position in 2025. Let me be more specific. Upon the completion of eight games played in the 2025 NFL regular season, in relation to the other 31 teams in the league, the Washington Commanders rank a dreadful 28th in total Draftkings points allowed (20.3) to the quarterback position a game.
In my opinion, Sam Darnold is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS slate.

In those 70 targets just mentioned, Smith-Njigba accumulated 50 receptions, 819 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.
