Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is finally alive and well and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props 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.

Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best and easiest to win NFL DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.

PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NFL, Single Stat consists of quarterback passing yards, running back rushing yards, and wide receiver receiving yards in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some props for Week 8's Monday night contest between the New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Score NFL Totals and Single-Stat Totals

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.

Darrel Williams over 54.5 rushing yards - While Williams was only handed the ball five times in last week's blowout loss to the Titans, he was handed the ball 21 times in a 31-13 victory over the Washington Football Team just two weeks ago. The Chiefs will enter this game as 10.5-point favorites, which should lead to added carries for Williams. This is a Giants' defense that has allowed an average of 117 rushing yards per game to running backs over their previous three games while also giving up nearly 4.4 yards per carry.

Daniel Jones over 20.5 rushing yards - Jones has averaged nearly six rushing attempts per game this season, so he will likely be on the move in this game. He has also gone over this total in five of the Giants' seven games in 2021. The Chiefs have faced mobile quarterbacks in the likes of Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, all of which managed to get over this total and they also combined for a total of 213 rushing yards between them.

Daniel Jones over 242.5 passing yards - Jones is going to have to do more than run the ball in order for the Giants to have a shot in this game. As aforementioned, they enter the contest at double-digit dogs and will likely have to throw the ball a bit more in order to keep the game close. This may not be such a bad thing as the Chiefs have allowed quarterbacks to average nearly 290 passing yards per game over their previous four games. This is also a number the Chiefs have allowed in all but two games this season, and a number Jones has hit in four of six completed games this season while missing by one yard in a fifth game.

Evan Engram over 31.5 receiving yards - Engram is one of only a few healthy bodies to catch passes for the Giants and this was evident last week as well when he was targeted eight times and hauled in six catches for 44 yards against the Carolina Panthers. This is good news as the Chiefs have allowed tight ends to average nearly 86 receiving yards per game over the previous four weeks and have also allowed an average of six receptions per game to the position.

Other Recommendations: Daniel Jones over 17.5 fantasy score, Darrel Williams over .5 rushing touchdowns, Daniel Jones over 20.5 pass completions

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
