Chiefs at Seahawks DraftKings Showdown Captain Picks

Kenneth Walker III ($18,000 CP): The Chiefs’ offense runs through its top rusher, and he is facing his former team. Walker has 665 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns through five games. He topped 100 yards in four of them. Seattle has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 35 straight games, but this isn’t just any rusher. Rashee Rice is out, so Kansas City will keep leaning on the run. The Captain price is steep, but few players have this much touchdown upside.

Chiefs at Seahawks DraftKings Showdown UTIL Plays

Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($11,600): Seattle’s offense no longer runs through Walker — Walker walked out the door. JSN is him. Seahawks don’t run or walk. They fly. They air it out. The 2026 offense goes through the former Ohio State star. He leads the NFL with 717 receiving yards, which is nearly half of the team’s passing yardage. He has topped 100 yards in five of six games. With Zach Charbonnet out, Seattle will need him even more. Kansas City will try to bracket him, but that has not stopped him yet.

Xavier Worthy ($7,000): Seven targets, seven catches and 73 yards last week made Worthy the top option in the Kansas City passing game. That was his second straight game with at least 70 yards. Rice is out again, so Worthy’s role stays big. The $7,000 price is fair for that workload.

Chiefs Defense ($3,800): Seattle has turned the ball over 12 times, the third-most in the league. Sam Darnold was sacked 10 times over the last two games. Kansas City only allows 16.6 points per game, the second-fewest in the NFL. That adds up to sacks and takeaways at a cheap price.

Chiefs at Seahawks DraftKings Showdown Fades

Sam Darnold ($9,400): This price is too high for a quarterback who has thrown multiple interceptions in three of his last four games. When defenses pressure him, he ranks 31st among 34 qualified quarterbacks in EPA per dropback (a measure of how much each pass play helps his team score). Seattle’s right guard returns from injured reserve, which should help, but not enough. Kansas City only has eight sacks, so this fade is not a lock.

Chiefs at Seahawks DraftKings Showdown Strategy and Prediction

Walker and the Chiefs defense should be enough in a low-scoring game, but Seattle’s defense will keep it close.

Final Score: Chiefs 20, Seahawks 16
