Getty As the NFL playoff push is in full swing, Sunday Night Football in Week 16 is set to provide us with a game that has playoff implications. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks still have plenty to play for. And in turn, the 12th man in Seattle should be ready to make some noise while making MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes' life tough. But as we've seen, the Chiefs are one of the top teams in the NFL this season so the Seahawks will have their work cut out for them, even at home. Along with a great game, as always we have some strong daily fantasy football options for this game. Whether you're playing in your season-long fantasy playoffs and need a distraction from a big game or simply want to stay in the action after elimination, this is a great way to do so. With a key game set for Sunday night, we're going to take deep dive into the DraftKings showdown slate. These are single-game options which feature a different set of rules (to some extent) than regular DFS games. In turn, you'll want to take a different approach to building lineups for these games. I'll offer both a mixture of top picks, different lineups and players to consider for the Week 16 DraftKings slate. As always, there is a range of different game options for this matchup, including single-entry tournaments, multi-entry events (150-max or smaller) and additional choices beyond that. In order to cover each base, the lineups offered will be an optimal, 150-max and single entry. But before we get into the picks and lineups, here's a quick look at how DraftKings showdowns work. Specifically, it's worth noting that these games will feature captains which cost 1.5-times the regular amount. You choose one per lineup and it comes with a bonus as well. – Six total players (one captain, five flex players) – Captain selection costs 1.5 times standard salary but scores 1.5 times the standard points – Can choose from any position (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST) – $50,000 salary cap – You can use more than one quarterback So, we have the Chiefs (11-3) who are attempting to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC on one side. On the other, the Seahawks (8-6) are attempting to secure a playoff berth of their own with a win. Both teams benefit massively from a victory, so there should be fireworks from the start of this game. As Playoff Status shows, both the Chiefs and Seahawks can clinch the above spots with a victory. For Kansas City, they received some help from the Baltimore Ravens this week, who knocked off the Chargers on the road Saturday night. Seattle has multiple teams hot on their trail currently for the Wild Card. I'll first start with the captain spot in this game and also the thought process for which players to build around in that top spot.
After both finishing second in their respective divisions last year, the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons will attempt to start their 2020 seasons off on the right foot when they meet Sunday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Seahawks vs Falcons Preview
The Seahawks have made the playoffs seven out of the last eight seasons, so there’s a certain amount of expectations in Seattle every year when the season gets started. That’s especially true for the Seahawks after pulling off a blockbuster trade this offseason for safety Jamal Adams, which cost the team two first-round picks.
The Seahawks rebuilt their secondary around Adams, which has garnered comparisons to the lauded “Legion of Boom” defense that made the Seahawks a Super Bowl contender.
“I’m really excited about those guys and just the way the whole group is taking on an identity somewhat, with a real energy about them,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. “They’re really excited to play together. It’s a good group and they’re going for it and it’s really exciting to me. It’s one of my favorite aspects of the game to bring to life and it could be a real significant part of our football team this year. I can’t wait to see it get going.”
The Seahawks and Falcons are familiar with each other, having faced off five times over the last five seasons. Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn got his start with the Seahawks before taking the head coaching gig with the Falcons.
“We’ve seen these guys before,” Carroll said. “We pretty much know their staff, and they know us too. It’s not like there’s a brand-new coach and it’s the first game and we haven’t seen anything.”
The Falcons have all the talent to be a contender on offense, especially at wide receiver between Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Jones is a perennial Pro Bowler and Ridley has neared the 1,000-yard mark the last few seasons.
They’ll have some help in newly-acquired running back Todd Gurley, who was the league’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2017.
“TG looks great; he looks amazing,” Jones said. “He always had it, I felt like. Just putting it together, prioritizing in order what he needs to do to be at his best when it’s time to go, only he knows that. As far as I’ve seen out in practice, he looks amazing. In the scrimmages, he looks amazing.”
The Seahawks are a 1.5-point road favorite for the opening season matchup. The total is set at 49 points.
