Draftkings NFL Showdown Picks: Giants vs. Panthers 11/10/24
New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers
November 10, 2024 9:30 am EDT
This Sunday morning, the NFL presents Draftkings football fans with a matchup featuring the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers. Let’s take a look at this NFL game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers 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.
*It should be noted that this regular season contest is part of the NFL International Series. The game will be played at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this Draftkings Showdown NFL contest.
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 New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers matchup.
NFL Showdown Picks
Captain-Daniel Jones, Quarterback, New York Giants $8,600
How important has quarterback Daniel Jones been to the New York Giants offense this season? Let’s review Jones relevant player data from the 2024 NFL regular season to answer that question.
In the four games that Daniel Jones has played for the New York Giants in the 2024 NFL regular season, New York quarterback Daniel Jones has compiled 1,880 receiving yards eight passing touchdowns, 239 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.
Last week, in the Washington CoMMAnders 27-22 win over the New York Giants, Daniel Jones accumulated 241 passing yards and two passing touchdowns.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the CoMMAnders victory over the New York Giants just mentioned, Daniel Jones tallied a robust 25.4 Draftkings points.
Additionally, I like Daniel Jones from a general matchup perspective. The Carolina Panthers have had clear issues containing opposing quarterbacks this season. Let me be more specific. Through eight Games played in the 2024 NFL regular season, the Panthers are ranked a rather low 29th in total Draftkings points allowed a Game (19.9) to opposing quarterbacks. Keep in mind that the NFL has 32 teams in the entire league. Having stated that, being ranked 29th in any defensive category is clearly not good.
In summary, I think quarterback Daniel Jones is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in Sunday’s NFL regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NFL Showdown slate.
Flex Plays
Wan’Dale Robinson, Wide Receiver, New York Giants $7,400
In addition to Daniel Jones, Wan’Dale Robinson has been a key contributor to the New York Giants offense this season. In the nine games that wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson has played for the New York Giants in the 2024 NFL regular season, New York starting quarterback Daniel Jones has targeted Robinson a robust 76 times. In those 76 targets just noted, Robinson compiled a massive 51 receptions, 343 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns.
I fully expect New York Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson to continue his outstanding play versus a vulnerable Carolina Panthers secondary on Sunday.
Additional flex plays I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Malik Nabers, Wide Receiver (New York Giants) $10,600: Chuba Hubbard, Running Back (Carolina Panthers) $9,800: Tyrone Tracy Jr. Running Back (New York Giants) $9,000.
