Chiefs vs. Bills DFS picks: Optimal DraftKings lineup with studs, sleepers and value plays

Here are the scoring rules for DraftKings "Showdown Captain" contests: 

• Full-point PPR
• 3-point bonuses for 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards
• Draft six players with a $50,000 salary cap 
• Your Captain pick costs 1.5x a player's standard price, but his total points are multiplied by 1.5x

Captain: Dawson Knox, TE, Bills ($4,500)

Our contrarian approach has Knox in the captain role here. Fellow TE Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out with a knee injury, and WRs Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper are attempting to return from their own injuries. This gives Knox a golden chance to shine against a defense that's had trouble containing TEs.

Here's colleague Mo Nuwwarah from The Lines: "As well as the Chiefs’ defense has played, they have a weak point against opposing tight ends. No team has allowed more PPR fantasy points per game to TEs. LB Nick Bolton isn’t known for his coverage skills, and the safeties can be a hit or miss in that department."

Flex 1: Josh Allen, QB, Bills ($11,400)

Allen has nine TD passes and two TD runs in four career regular-season games against the Chiefs. He's 3-1 SU in those tilts. When these two teams got together in last year's divisional playoff round, Allen ran for 72 yards and two TDs. He added 186 passing yards and one TD through the air. Safe to say, Allen gets up for Kansas City.

Flex 2: James Cook, RB, Bills ($9,800)

Cook had 19 carries for 80 yards and a TD in last week's 30-20 win at Indianapolis. He's got nine total TDs on the year.

TSN betting expert Tony Mejia writes, "Cook has reached the end zone in two of the last three games despite sharing work around the goal line with rookie Ray Davis and the mobile Allen. Cook is -105 to score at any point in this AFC showdown and is +550 to score two or more times, which is an enticing option if you believe the Bills will hand Kansas City its first loss."

We do, Tony.

Flex 3: Kareem Hunt, RB, Chiefs ($9,600)

Hunt had scored a TD in four straight games heading into KC's tight win over Denver last week. The Broncos kept him out of the end zone, but he put up 100 scrimmage yards, including a season-high 65 through the air. Isiah Pacheco is not expected to return until later this month, and Hunt could feast against a Buffalo defense that allows the third-most rushing yards per carry in the league.

Flex 4: Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs ($9,400)

Kelce has seen double-digit targets in three consecutive games. Patrick Mahomes has targeted him 40 times during that span. Kelce had eight catches for 64 yards and a TD in last week's win against the Broncos. In last year's playoffs, Kelce torched the Bills for five catches, 75 yards and two TDs in KC's 27-24 win. 

Flex 5: Tyler Bass, K, Bills ($5,000)

With Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (knee) out, we'll take a shot on T-Bass here. Bass ranks fifth in the league among all kickers with 93 fantasy points on the season. In terms of actual points, he's posted double-digit totals in five of 10 games this year.
