Higher/Lower is traditional over/under DFS prop picks -- whether you think a player will score Over or Under the set lines, and choosing your amount. You can parlay multiple picks together to vastly increase the juice (e.g., three picks = 6x your bet). Underdog Fantasy offers some of the industry's best and easiest-to-win NFL DFS games. At Underdog Fantasy, you're not playing against other people -- you're just playing against the projections.

Derrick Henry, 66.5 Rushing Yards (LOWER)
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry faces the Baltimore Ravens in London on Sunday. The Ravens are nearly five-point favorites for the game across the pond. The Titans could be trailing for most of this game, which could negatively impact Henry's rushing production. The Titans have turned to rookie running back Tyjae Spears over Henry in negative game script because of his proficiency in the passing game. Henry could be in for a meager stat line if the Ravens take the lead early.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 27.5 Receiving Yards (LOWER)
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Bengals allow the fourth-lowest completion percentage, but the stat that drives this one home is the rookie receiver's aDOT. Smith-Njigba's average depth of target is barely above three yards, and the rookie has maxed out at six receptions this season. If Smith-Njigba's usage stays the same, he will have difficulty reaching 28 receiving yards.
Jerome Ford, 36.5 Rushing Yards (LOWER)
Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford faces the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Niners have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and earned the fifth-highest PFF grade for run defense. Since taking over the starting role, Ford has been inefficient as a runner. Ford totaled 18 and 26 rushing yards in the past two games against the Titans and Ravens. Those are two tough matchups for runners, and Ford will face another this week. The Browns running back will struggle to reach 37 rushing yards.
Joe Burrow, 0.5 Total Yards (HIGHER)
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gets the freebie pick for Sunday with a line of 0.5 total yards. You can add this pick to your slips for a free win.
Kirk Cousins, 33.5 Passing Attempts (HIGHER)
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears have turned it around on offense, racking up 68 points in their last two games. Cousins has eclipsed 34 passing attempts in four of five starts this season since the Vikings are the most pass-heavy team in the NFL. The Vikings will be without Justin Jefferson, but Cousins may need to throw a lot if the Bears offense continues to roll. Cousins should reach 34 attempts in this matchup.
D'Onta Foreman, 6.5 Receiving Yards (HIGHER)
Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman faces the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson out, Foreman will be the lead back for the Bears. Despite the expected significant role for Foreman, his receiving yards line is very low. Foreman split snaps with both running backs in the first game of the season and still managed eight receiving yards. Expect Foreman to eclipse six receiving yards in this contest.
