The final regular season game of the 2021 NFL season will go down in Sin City where the Raiders will host the Chargers in a (likely) "winner-take-all" affair. There isa bizarre scenario in which a tie would allow both the Raiders and Chargers to clinch postseason berths, but that would require the Colts -- still on the outside looking in themselves -- losing to the Jaguars.We have to paint the full picture, but were anticipating a high-stakes contest for Week 18's installment of Sunday Night Football. With both teams undoubtedly going all-in for a win, we're excited about our FanDuel single-game DFS ineup.Here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the "MVP" is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn't cost

FanDuel's default scoring ishalf-point PPR andfour-point pa sing TDs, and there arenobonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games like on DraftKings.MORE FD SINGLE GAME: FanDuel Single Game DFS Picks: Chargers vs. Raiders$60,000 budget, need at least one player from each team MVP (1.5x points): Justin Herbert, Chargers ($17,500)Big games call for big players, and in a "win-or-go-home"spot, Herbert will have the organization resting on his shoulders.

Jacobs has breached the 20-touch barrier four times in his past six, and this is a situation in which he would appear primed to handle another hefty load. Hes averaged five targets per game over the past five, so were excited about his increased role in the pa sing game.SATURDAY SINGLE-GAME DFS: | | | FLEXK Daniel Carlson, Raiders ($9,000)Carlson has scored double-digit fantasy points in four of the Raiders' past six games -- including a 21-point outburst on Thanksgiving. Hes unlikely to go off like that, but another 10-plus is solidly within his range of outcomes.SATURDAY FULL-SLATE DFS: | FLEX TE Tre McKitty, Chargers($5,500)This is a roll of the dice, but McKitty has received his highest snap counts of the season over the past three weeks -- 41 in Week 15 and 35 in Week 17. McKitty will play behind Jared Cook, who appears in line to be active after mi sing last Sundays matchup while on the COVID list.
