May 31, 2025 3:00 pm EDT
The UFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Birmingham Stallions and the Memphis Showboats. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Birmingham Stallions vs. Memphis Showboats 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 Birmingham vs. Memphis matchup.
Draftkings UFL DFS Picks
Captain-Dresser Winn, Quarterback, Memphis Showboats $10,000
Quarterback Dresser Winn has been a key contributor for the Memphis Showboats this season. Let’s review Winn’s game data from this season to illustrate the signal caller’s contributions to his team in 2025.
In the four games that quarterback Dresser Winn has played for the Memphis Showboats this season, Winn has tallied 721 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, 37 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the four games that Dresser Winn has played for the Showboats in 2025, Winn has averaged 13.1 Draftkings points a contest.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Dresser Winn can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in this week’s UFL regular season matchup with the Birmingham Stallions.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings UFL 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 opinion, Dresser Winn is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this UFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Memphis Showboats quarterback Dresser Winn at the captain position for this one game Draftkings UFL Showdown contest.
