Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! Welcome to our Underdog Fantasy NFL DFS prop picks for the early games on Sunday, October 8, 2023. Welcome to our brand new NFL DFS series covering Underdog Fantasy contests! We will continue to focus on the NFL DFS props offered on Underdog called Higher/Lower (Over/Under).
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.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.

Kenny Pickett, 18.5 Completions (LOWER)
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett faces the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The Ravens are a tough matchup for any quarterback, let alone Pickett, who has the sixth-lowest completion percentage in the NFL. The Ravens have allowed the third-fewest passing yards, second-fewest passing touchdowns, and the seventh-lowest completion percentage this season. The Baltimore defense also has the highest PFF grade defensive coverage against receivers. Pickett will struggle in this matchup.
Miles Sanders, 43.5 Rushing Yards (LOWER)
Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders faces the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Lions are favored in this matchup by nearly 10 points and may rely on the strengths of the run and defense to win the game. The Panthers are projected to be trailing, which would lead to fewer rush attempts for Sanders. The Lions have also allowed the fewest rushing yards and second-lowest yards per carry this season. The Lions should eliminate Carolina's running game effectively, and Sanders will suffer.
Kyle Pitts, 27.5 Receiving Yards (LOWER)
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts faces the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Texans have been decent against the pass, but the real reason for this pick is the Falcons' underutilization of their former first-round pick. Through four games, Pitts has 11 receptions on 21 targets for 121 yards and zero touchdowns. Given the Falcons' offensive tendencies, the passing game usually takes a backseat to the running game, which could leave Pitts with less than 28 receiving yards.
Tua Tagovailoa, 0.5 Total Yards (HIGHER)
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa gets the freebie pick of the weekend with a line of 0.5 total yards. You can add this pick to your slips for a free win.
Zay Flowers, 44.5 Receiving Yards (HIGHER)
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers faces the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers are among the best matchups for wide receivers in the entire league. The Pittsburgh defense has been gashed for massive performances from Nico Collins, Brandon Aiyuk, and Davante Adams. Flowers has established himself as the WR1 in the Ravens offense, and he should have a big day on Sunday.
De'Von Achane, 50.5 Rushing Yards (HIGHER)
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane faces the New York Giants on Sunday. The Giants have the sixth-lowest PFF grade for run defense and have allowed the ninth-most rushing yards this season. In a game where the Dolphins are favored by over 12 points, there should be plenty of volume for Achane. The Dolphins rookie running back has 309 rushing yards on 27 carries, good for 11.4 yards per carry. Achane is highly efficient with his touches and should have no problem reaching 51 rushing yards.
