Before we dive into the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles 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 Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs matchup.

Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks

Captain-Saquon Barkley, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles $12,000

In my opinion, veteran running back Saquon Barkley has been the driving force behind the Philadelphia Eagles offensive success this season. Having stated that, how has Barkley played from a statistical perspective? Let’s review the talented running back’s relevant player data from this season to answer that question.

In the 19 games that Saquon Barkley has played for the Philadelphia Eagles this season (including playoffs), Barkley has compiled a rather impressive 2,447 rushing yards, 18 rushing touchdowns, 40 receptions, 313 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.

Two weeks ago, in the Philadelphia Eagles thrilling 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley tallied a whopping 205 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, four receptions and 27 receiving yards.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Philadelphia Eagles win over the Los Angeles Rams just mentioned, Saquon Barkley amassed 42.2 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NFL 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 for this one game DFS slate.

In my view, Saquon Barkley is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NFL playoff game. For that specific reason, I am backing Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NFL Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Travis Kelce, Tight End, Kansas City Chiefs $9,000

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce has certainly been a key contributor to the Chiefs lineup this season. Let’s review Kelce’s game data from this season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In those 145 targets just noted, Kelce compiled 106 receptions, 959 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.
