Jayden Daniels Features in Perfect Week 10 DraftKings Showdown Lineup for Thursday Night Football

How Showdown scoring works

DraftKings’ single-game format gives contestants a $50,000 salary to select one captain and five flex players. The captain earns 1.5 times the points and costs 1.5 times the salary, while flex players count at standard values.

The contest uses full-PPR scoring. The recommended lineup names Daniels as captain, with Nabers, Likely, Okonkwo, Zvada and Ekeler in the flex spots.

Daniels and Nabers lead

Daniels has run less in recent weeks, but remains a threat on the ground. In the teams’ Week 5 tie, he rushed nine times for 103 yards and two touchdowns, scoring a season-high 35.3 DraftKings points.

New York has allowed the 12th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks entering Week 10, at 1.6 above average. Nabers, meanwhile, is coming off a 9.3-point performance after scoring at least 21 points in four straight games, including 32.1 against Washington. He leads the Giants with a 30% target share.

Nabers has averaged 2.39 yards per route run, 11th among 27 wide receivers with at least 50 targets in 2026. Washington has allowed the ninth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to wide receivers, at 3.0 above average.

Likely and Okonkwo offer value

Likely has the Giants’ second-highest target share at 26.5%. His six receiving touchdowns are tied with Brock Bowers for the most among tight ends this season, and Washington has allowed the second-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends, at 7.5 above average.

Kicker and running back picks

Giants kicker Zvada has missed five of 22 field-goal attempts in his first season. Still, he has scored at least 12 DraftKings points in four of his last six games, and the recommendation gives him a slight edge over Washington kicker Drew Stevens because New York is favored at home.

With Jacory Croskey-Merritt absent, Washington has used Rachaad White and Ekeler in a two-man running back committee. Against the Rams in Week 9, Ekeler played seven fewer snaps than White but ran five more routes.

Ekeler’s role alongside White limits his upside. The lineup case is that a few catches or a touchdown could be enough for him to return value at his salary.
