June 29, 2025 7:00 pm EDT
The CFL presents Draftkings football fans with a regular season matchup between the Toronto Argonauts and the Ottawa Redblacks. Let’s take a look at this CFL game from a DFS perspective.
Prior to discussing my DFS picks for the Toronto Argonauts vs. Ottawa Redblacks game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for the single game showdown contests.
For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.
If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.
I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest! Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this DFS slate.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game CFL slate. Remember, once lineups lock on the Draftkings platform you cannot swap players.
Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Toronto Argonauts vs. Ottawa Redblacks matchup.
Draftkings CFL DFS Picks
Nick Arbuckle, Quarterback, Toronto Argonauts $12,200
Toronto Argonauts quarterback Nick Arbuckle has certainly been playing quality football entering this week’s matchup with the Ottawa Redblacks. Having stated that, how has Arbuckle performed from a statistical perspective this season? Let’s review Arbuckle’s recent game data from the 2025 CFL regular season to answer that question.
In the three games that quarterback Nick Arbuckle has played for the Toronto Argonauts this season, Arbuckle has compiled 841 passing yards and four passing touchdowns.
Last week, in the Saskatchewan Roughriders 39-32 win over the Toronto Argonauts Toronto quarterback Nick Arbuckle played exceptionally well. In the Roughriders win over Toronto, Nick Arbuckle amassed 259 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and 13 rushing yards.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Roughriders win over the Toronto Argonauts just mentioned, Nick Arbuckle tallied 22.7 Draftkings points. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I am looking for from a player that I select at the flex position for a Draftkings CFL Showdown contest.
In my opinion, Nick Arbuckle is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this CFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Toronto Argonauts quarterback Dru Brown as my lead flex play for this CFL slate.
Damonte Coxie, Wide Receiver, Toronto Argonauts, $10,000
How important has wide receiver Damonte Coxie been to the Toronto Argonauts offense this season? Let’s examine Coxie’s player data from this season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the three games that Damonte Coxie has played for the Argonauts in the 2025 CFL regular season, Toronto quarterback Nick Arbuckle has targeted Coxie a robust 25 times. In those 25 targets just mentioned, Coxie amassed 14 receptions, 248 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
Miyan Williams, Running Back, Toronto Argonauts $8,000
In the three games that running back Miyan Williams has played for the Toronto Argonauts in the 2025 CFL regular season, Williams has tallied 102 rushing yards, 14 receptions, 587 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the ten games that Walter Fletcher has played for the Montreal Alouettes this season, Fletcher has averaged a respectable 15.4 Draftkings points a contest.
Additional flex plays I like to perform well in CFL regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Dustin Crum, Quarterback (Ottawa Redblacks) $11,000: Justin Hardy, Wide Receiver (Ottawa Redblacks) $9,000: Kevin Mital, Wide Receiver (Toronto Argonauts) $4,000.
