NFL Wild Card Weekend Sunday Slate - Single Stat DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season has finally reached the playoffs and that means 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 the NFL's Wild Card games scheduled for Sunday, January 16th.

Single Stat NFL Totals

Rob Gronkowski over 55.5 receiving yards - With Chris Godwin on IR and the recent departure of Antonio Brown, Gronk has been relied upon a bit more and this is evidenced by the fact that he has 252 receiving yards over his previous two games. He will once again be relied upon in the passing game this week against the Eagles and that should work out well for him. On the season, the Eagles have allowed an average of 61 receiving yards per game to the tight end position, which is ranked sixth-worst in the league.

Deebo Samuel over .5 touchdowns - While Deebo is likely to be covered mostly by Trevon Diggs, he is so heavily involved in the rushing and passing attack of this 49ers offense that he cannot be ignored with an anytime touchdown. He has scored in seven of his previous eight games and has also scored seven rushing touchdowns in his last eight games. The rushing volume is what really sets him over the edge here as he has scored a rushing touchdown in all but two of his previous eight games and is averaging nearly seven carries per game across that span.

Jimmy Garoppolo over 242.5 passing yards - Jimmy G has thrown over this total in four of his previous five games. This game currently has the highest total on the board and should feature some fireworks in the passing game as each of these teams have a solid run defense. The Cowboys have allowed the 12th-fewest rushing yards to running backs on the season and the 12th-most passing yards to quarterbacks on the season. They have allowed nine quarterbacks to throw for over this total on the season as well. Given that the Niners are slight underdogs in this game, they could be forced to pass a bit more down the stretch.

Najee Harris over 25.5 receiving yards - Harris is going to have to be relied upon in the passing game in this game as the Chiefs will enter as huge favorites. Harris has only gone over this total in one of his previous five games, but he is still averaging over four targets per game and has a solid matchup as a receiver in this game. In 2021, the Chiefs have allowed an average of over 52 receiving yards per game to running backs, which is ranked third-worst in the league. They have also allowed a total of 12 backs to go over this total on the season.

Other Recommendations - Mike Evans over .5 receiving touchdowns, Amari Cooper over 55.5 receiving yards, Dak Prescott over 270.5 passing yards, Rob Gronkowski over 5.0 receptions

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
