The schedule-makers earn a tip of the cap for providing football and NFL DFS fans with such a marquee Sunday Night Football matchup. The Ravens host the Chiefs in a showdown of Super Bowl hopefuls. The Ravens have been hit hard by the injury bug and opened as 2.5-point underdogs. Vegas also set the total at 55.5, so its fair to anticipate a hotly contested, high-scoring affair that make it extra fun to narrow down your lineup picks for DraftKings Showdown contests.This weeks build can be categorized as stars and special teams. Thats the compromise for being greedy at the top, but were also cognizant of the significant impact real and fantasy special teams can play in these types
Cody Bellinger Jersey of matchups.MORE SNF DFS: As a reminder, here are the most notable scoring quirks of DraftKings Showdowns: It's full-point PPR, and there are three-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards,100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.MORE DK SHOWDOWN: Captain (1.5x value, 1.5x points): WR Tyreek Hill, Chiefs ($15,900) Hill and Travis Kelce ($15,600) will both enjoy top dog weeks this season, so its worth doing one lineup with Hill as captain and another with Kelce. Both are imminent threats to deliver 10-plus catches, 100-plus yards, and/or multiple TDs.MORE SNF
MLB Los Angeles Dodgers : FLEX: QB Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($12,600) Mahomes has improved in each of his three meetings with the Ravens, posting 24.8 DraftKings points in 2018, 30.9 in 2019, and 43 in last seasons tilt. The Ravens are going to sink their teeth in defensively no matter what, but their diminished unit is going to have its hands completely full with Mahomes and his boys.FLEX: TE Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($10,400) If you anoint Hill as your captain, this is Kelces spot and vice/versa. Kelce hasnt mi sed a beat following last years prodigious seasonand will continue to serve as a must-have fantasy a set. Hes posted a combined 20-253-1 line on 24 targets over his past three contests against Baltimore.FLEX: K Harrison Butker, Chiefs
Julio Urias Jersey ($3,800) Butker has scored double-digit fantasy points in 16 of his past 33 contests. Were not pinning our hopes on him approaching his ceiling hes gone over 15 fantasy points nine times in his career but we like the odds of him delivering a respectable number on a night that could see a lot of scoring.FLEX: K Justin Tucker, Ravens($3,600) Similar to his counterpart, Tucker has eclipsed the 10-fantasy-point plateau 13 times since 2019 and reached at least 15 fantasy points five times over that span. If
Enrique Hernandez Jersey Tucker isnt the best kicker in the game, hes damn close. With the amount of offense thats anticipated, Tucker should be able to get considerable screen time on Sunday night.FLEX: D/ST Kansas City Defense ($3,400) Even in a game with such a high total, its worth considering all the paths through which Kansas City can put fantasy points on the board. For as good as Lamar Jackson and Co. have been, this 2021 version has flaws. Their running back room has been decimated, theyre hobbled in the pa s-catching ranks, and if Jackson is forced to drop back frequently, his offensive line could struggle to sufficiently protect him the Raiders sacked Jackson three times in Week 1. Not to mention, Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle have combined for three career touchdowns in the return game.Alternate consideration: Not feeling the special teams slant? Youll have to sacrifice Mahomes and opt for Lamar Jackson ($11,800) instead. This also requires a commitment to Kelce as your captain. The modest savings will
Los Angeles Dodgers be enough to allow you to roll the dice with Mecole Hardman ($4,600) instead of the Chiefs D/ST.
