DraftKings Showdown: Flex

Aaron Rodgers – $11,600

With both teams having an easier path moving the ball on the ground, I will not be looking to have Rodgers in my Captain slot. The Lions currently allow 23.9 points to opposing running backs, making Jones my preferred route for Packer onslaught lineups. Make sure to have Rodgers in all builds with Packers pass-catchers as your Captain.

Matthew Stafford – $9,600

With the Packers only allowing 14.4 points to opposing quarterbacks, I prefer to use Stafford in correlated Lion passing builds. The Packers are dreadful against the run, so I would assume that the Lions try to attack there. If the Lions do fall behind early though, you will need Stafford and his pass-catchers to get you to the winner’s circle via garbage time.

Jimmy Graham – $7,000

Another tough matchup will be Graham against this Lions defense. Currently, the Lions allow the 9th fewest points to tight ends (5.5 GM). With Adams out, Graham should see an increased target share while always providing his high upside touchdown value in the red-zone.

Marvin Jones Jr – $6,800

If Jaire Alexander shadows Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones benefits greatly. Unfortunately, it is likely that Alexander shadows Jones while the bigger King shadows Golladay. With not knowing the defensive game plan, I will want both pass catchers but this is an extremely difficult matchup for the Lions passing attack.

Geronimo Allison – $6,400

With Darius Slay likely to shadow MVS, Geronimo Allison could become Rodgers primary pass-catcher tomorrow night. At only $6400, he is also one of the better values on the slate, I will be making him a staple in heavy correlated Packer passing lineups builds.
