PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
PrizePicks is a great DFS picks site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play.
On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Before diving into some solid fantasy score totals this week, we must first cover the PrizePicks scoring format. The format is PPR, which stands for "point per reception," meaning every reception is worth one point.
Rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth six points, and passing touchdowns are worth four points. Each rushing or receiving yard is worth .1, meaning every 10 yards of either is worth one point. Quarterback passing yards are worth .04, which means every 25 passing yards are worth one point.
If you ever have questions, you can always click the "scoring chart" option above the player selections for each contest. Now, let's get to some solid fantasy score props for this week.

Dak Prescott MORE than 265.5 passing yards
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys will enter SoFi Stadium to compete in a game with the Los Angeles Chargers that currently has a total sitting at 51, which is the highest total on the board. The matchup for the Cowboys' passing game is a solid one as the Chargers have allowed the eighth-most total passing yards to the quarterback position. They have also allowed an average of nearly 330 passing yards per game.
Prescott has eclipsed this total in just one game thus far, but he has yet to face a pass defense like this. The Chargers are also relatively solid against the running back position as they have allowed an average of 92 rushing yards per game to the position.
Austin Ekeler LESS than 33.5 receiving yards
This play is currently listed as the second-best play for the Monday night game on the PrizePicks Optimizer with a 53.36% chance of success. The Cowboys have been solid against pass-catching running backs as they have allowed the eighth-fewest receiving yards to the position overall. They have also allowed only 21 total receptions to running backs through their first five games.
Ekeler eclipsed this total in his only game played this season, however, he is returning from an ankle injury for this game and could be a little slow out of the gate, which likely plays a role in this play's success percentage. This number is also listed at approximately 31.5 across the books, so we are getting a two-yard discount, which is a decent value.
Michael Gallup MORE than 37.5 receiving yards
I liked Michael Gallup last week against the San Francisco 49ers, however, he failed to deliver against a tough defense. This week, he will be up against a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of nearly 232 (!) receiving yards per game to the wide receiver position. This is a number that Gallup has eclipsed in two of his previous three games while garnering an average of six targets per game over that span.
