PrizePicks NFL DFS Prop Picks - Chiefs vs. Chargers Thursday Night Football

Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is 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 PrizePicks for the Thursday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.

Single-Stat NFL Totals

Travis Kelce over 64.5 receiving yards - I am going back to the well on Kelce after he had a letdown performance against the Raiders with just 27 receiving yards. That being said, the Chiefs got up big early and did not really need to throw the ball much. That likely won't be the case this week as the Chargers' offense should be able to keep up in this one. The Chargers have also allowed 737 receiving yards to the tight end position this season, which ranks in the bottom half of the league. It should also be noted that kelce caught seven of 11 targets for 104 receiving yards in their first meeting against the Chargers in Week 3.

Austin Ekeler over 37.5 receiving yards - The Chargers will likely rely heavily on Ekeler in the passing game for this one as it is one area the Chiefs have struggled. Over the previous four weeks, the Chiefs have allowed an average of eight receptions per game to running backs, which ranks second-worst in the league. They have also allowed the second-most receiving yards to backs over that same span. This is also a number Ekeler has hit in three of his previous four games.

Patrick Mahomes less than 270.5 passing yards - Here we go. This is a bit of a risky play considering the talent of Mahomes, but the Chargers have struggled mightily against the run, yet are allowing just 210 passing yards per game to quarterbacks over the previous four weeks. This is a number that Mahomes has hit in just one of his previous five games as well. The Chiefs love to throw the ball, but this is a game that we could certainly see more of Clyde Edwards-Helaire as the Chargers are allowing over 100 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks. This number is likely to creep up on Mahomes, so waiting a bit may be beneficial.

Justin Herbert over 285.5 passing yards - While the Chiefs' defense has improved recently, they still allowed Derek Carr and Teddy Bridgewater to eclipse 250 passing yards in three of the previous four weeks. Now, they will be facing Herbert who has thrown for over 300 passing yards in three of his previous four games. This game will likely be competitive and moving the ball through the air is likely their best bet as the Chiefs have allowed just 86 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks.

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
