Draftkings Best NFL Showdown Picks: Titans vs. Bills 10/20/24

The NFL presents Draftkings Football fans with a matchup between the Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills. Let’s take a look at this Game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Tennessee Titans vs. Buffalo Bills 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 Tennessee Titans vs. Buffalo Bills matchup.

Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks

Captain-Josh Allen, Quarterback, Buffalo Bills, $9,000

How important was talented quarterback Josh Allen to the Buffalo Biils offense last season? Let’s review Allen’s relevant player data from the 2023 NFL regular season to answer that question.

In the 17 games that Josh Allen played for the Buffalo Bills in the 2023 NFL regular season, Allen tallied 4,306 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, 524 rushing yards, and a massive 15 rushing touchdowns.

Now that we have determined how Josh Allen played last season, let’s turn our attention to the 2024 NFL regular season. Last week, in the Buffalo Bills 34-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Josh Allen tallied 232 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 39 rushing touchdowns, and added two rushing touchdowns.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Buffalo Bills victory over the Arizona Cardinals last month, Allen accumulated an impressive 32.2 Draftkings points a game. It has to be said, those are the type of fantasy numbers that I need to see from a player that I select for the captain position in a Draftkings NFL Showdown contest.

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 determine which player to select as your captain for this one game Draftkings contest.

In summary, I am backing Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen at the captain position for this one game NFL DFS Showdown slate.

Flex Plays

Tony Pollard, Running Back, Tennessee Titans $10,400

In the five games that running back Tony Pollard has played for the Tennessee Titan in the 2024 NFL regular season, Pollard has compiled 339 rushing yards, three touchdowns, 16 receptions, and 82 receiving yards.

Two weeks ago, in the Tennessee Titans 31-12 win over the Miami Dolphins, Titans running back Tony Pollard accumulated 88 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, two receptions, and 20 receiving yards. What did we learn? The data just presented tells us that Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is playing outstanding football entering this week’s matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well (Draftkings price noted): Ray Davis, Running Back (Buffalo Bills) $8,200: Tyler Boyd, Wide Receiver (Tennessee Titans) $4,400.
