Week 18 NFL - Single Stat DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is heading into its final week, but our new friends over at PrizePicks still 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 single-stat scores for Week 18 of the NFL Season.

Single Stat NFL Totals

Matthew Stafford over 270.5 passing yards - Stafford and the Rams will be facing the 49ers on Sunday and need a win in order to remain locked into the number two seed in the NFC. The matchup against the Niners could not come at a better time as a majority of their secondary is likely to miss this game on the Covid list. Even if this was not the case, the matchup would still be solid as the Niners have allowed the 11th-most passing yards to quarterbacks over the previous four weeks. Stafford has also gone over this total in three of his previous five games.

Taysom Hill over 47.5 rushing yards - Taysom Hill may be my favorite play on the slate this week as the Saints can still earn a playoff spot with a victory over Atlanta paired with a 49ers loss to the Rams. Taysom has a tremendous matchup against the Falcons when it comes to being able to run the football. Atlanta has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards to quarterbacks on the season. They allowed big games on the ground from Jalen Hurts (62 rushing yards), Taylor Heinicke (43 rushing yards), Sam Darnold (66 rushing yards), Cam Newton (47 rushing yards), and Josh Allen (81 rushing yards). This feels like the perfect spot for Taysom to possibly have his biggest rushing performance of the season.

Josh Jacobs over 55.5 rushing yards - Josh Jacobs and the Raiders are also battling for a playoff spot against the Chargers on Sunday night (notice a recurring theme?). They will want to keep the Chargers' high-powered offense at bay for as long as possible and the best way to do this is by running Jacobs. He has seen an average of over 19 carries per game over the previous three weeks and has also eclipsed this total in each of his previous two games. The Chargers have also allowed running backs to rack up over 110 rushing yards per game over the previous four weeks.

Brandon Aiyuk over 40.5 receiving yards - Aiyuk and the Niners will lock up a playoff spot with a victory against the Rams on Sunday and he will likely be relied upon in the passing game in order to try and accomplish this. Last week, with Trey Lance under center, Aiyuk was targeted six times and hauled in four balls for 94 receiving yards. Deebo Samuel is likely to be the focal point of Rams' star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, so it makes sense that Aiyuk could see some added volume in this one. The Rams are also 4.5-point favorites, which should lead to more passing by the Niners as well.

Other Recommendations - Darnell Mooney over 49.5 receiving yards, Michael Pittman Jr. over 52.5 receiving yards, Devin Singletary over 59.5 rushing yards

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
