Week 14’s Sunday Night Soccer section features one of the NFL’s top rivals: Bears vs. Packers. Full-back Justin Fields is expected to return to center-back after a weeks-long absence. While it’s tempting to take advantage of his high DFS, we’re kicking him out of our DraftKings Showdown lineup this week. Instead, we’ll showcase his top offensive weapons and keep our fingers crossed so the Field doesn’t rush more than 100 yards and a point (or two).
Before we get into our picks, here are the main rules of the DraftKings Showdown: That is Full point PPR, and have three-point bonus for 300 yards of passing, 100 yards rush, and 100 yards receive. The captain pick costs 1.5 times the player’s original price, but he also gets his total score multiplied by 1.5.

DraftKings: Bears vs Packers Slideshow Selection
Budget $50,000, need at least one player from each team.
Captain (1.5x points, 1.5x salary) RB AJ Dillon, Packer ($6,600)
Dillon is tipped to fully reprise his role from 1B to Aaron Jones ‘1A behind the scenes of the Packers, but that doesn’t mean he can’t or won’t succeed as their “Captain” ta. Packers coach Matt LaFleur has proven he can and is willing to provide two defenders with an imagination-friendly workload. We hope to find the right combination of high scoring potential and savings.
FLEX WR Davante Adams, Packer ($11,600)
Adams’ 115 targets represent a whopping 29.2 percent market share and far outstrips the next closest in the target division of 48. As Aaron Rodgers top read, both in and out of the red zone, Adams will have can win in quantity and quality on Sunday.
OTHER SNF: FanDuel lineup
FLEX RB Aaron Jones, Packer ($11,600)
Jones is back from an absence from Week 12 and now has the added benefit of a Week 13 goodbye. Perhaps close to full health, Jones will likely reprise his role as the Packers’ clear backstage frontman. Even if Jones gives a little more work to Dillon, he’s still likely to post a big number on Sunday night.
FLEX RB David Montgomery, Bears ($10,000)
Montgomery leads the Bears in touchdown (154) by a large margin despite missing four competitions. He racked up a season-high eight passes into nine goals in Week 13, continuing the flourish he displayed, especially in DraftKings PPR scores. Snowmobile racing hasn’t necessarily gone smoothly against the Packers, but Montgomery has eclipsed more than 20 DraftKings points on three occasions this season.
FLEX WR Darnell Mooney, Bears ($8,400)
Mooney has claimed the No. 1 spot in the catch-up order – a trend that started even before Allen Robinson hit the shelves with a hamstring injury. Even with Robinson set to return, we still like Mooney’s great playing potential and versatility. He found the end zone on a wide receiver designed to run in Week 9.
FLEX WR Jakeem Grant, Bears ($2,800)
Grant offers compelling potential for a player we’re seeing as a “stunt” in this squad. His ability to play the ball quickly has increased in recent weeks, culminating in a 48 on-season run in Week 13. He has turned his extra chances into a 5-62-1 and 17.2-point lane. DraftKings. Often deployed as a utility player, Grant will likely have a chance in short passes, engineered runs and specialty teams.
