When it comes to building your Showdown DFS lineups a big part of the puzzle is getting the MVP player correct. With FanDuel the MVP slot earns 1.5x the points as the general flex positions, meaning they scoring is worth more. Check out my top MVP plays for Thursday’s Showdown slate between the Bills and Rams.

MVP (1.5X Points)

Josh Allen, BUF QB $17,500

Allen is the top priced player on today’s slate and for good reason as he is coming off yet another monster of a season and can impact the game with both his arm and his legs at an elite level. He is likely to be a very popular option at MVP so if you don’t mind eating the chalk here he is the top option listed on the board.

Allen Robinson, LA WR $12,000

While everyone goes to Cooper Kupp, we swerve with Allen Robinson here at a much cheaper price tag. We know Robinson has what it takes to be an elite receiving option in the NFL and I am willing to give him a pass for his disappearing act in 2021. He is now playing with the best QB he has ever played with and the Bills defense is going to be focused on shutting down Cooper Kupp the best they can. Robinson could see some single coverage on the outside and Stafford is no stranger to taking shots down field.

 

Gabe Davis, BUF WR $11,500

Same exact thinking with Allen Robinson applies to this selection of Gabe Davis. We know the Rams will be looking to stop Stefon Diggs here which should put Davis in some favorable spots to make plays down field against this Los Angeles defense.

Dawson Knox, BUF TE $10,000

Knox just got paid with a contract extension worth $50 million by the Bills. What better way to celebrate that pay day than with a touchdown or two to kick off the season? Knox is a big time red zone threat in this Bills offense as Josh Allen tends to scramble and defenses lose track of the big tight end.
