PrizePicks NFL DFS Prop Picks for Saturday January 9th

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 two-game slate on Saturday, January 9th.

Single-Stat NFL Totals

Javonte Williams over 48.5 rushing yards - The Broncos do not have much to play for in this game, but they likely want to do what they can to spoil the Chiefs' shot at earning the number one seed and also will want to give Javonte some run before they wrap their season up. In his last meeting against these Chiefs, Wiliams had the backfield to himself and managed to rush for over 100 yards. While he will not have the backfield to himself in this game, the Chiefs are allowing over 93 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks. This is also a number that Williams has hit in three of his previous five games.

Jalen Hurts under 195.5 passing yards - The Eagles have very little to play for this week as they are locked into sixth or seventh seed in the NFC regardless of what happens in this game and games around the league. They have yet to decide if they will play their starters, and even if they do, it is hard to see them playing for the entirety of the game given the possible injury risks. Aside from that, Hurts will be facing a Cowboys defense that has allowed the 10th-fewest passing yards to quarterbacks over the previous four weeks.

Noah Fant over 40.5 receiving yards - Fant and Quarterback, Drew Lock, hooked up for 92 yards and a touchdown last week and should be able to find some more success this week. The Chiefs have allowed tight ends to average over 55 receiving yards per game on the season, which ranks in the bottom half of the league in 2021. Fant has seen 21 targets from Lock in limited action across three games this season, so he is clearly a favorite target of Lock's, which should lead to solid production in this game.

Patrick Mahomes less than 265.5 passing yards - Mahomes and the Chiefs will definitely be competing for a win in this game as they still have a slim hope of attaining the number one seed in the AFC. That being said, this Broncos team has been much easier to run on in 2021 as opposed to moving the ball through the air. They have only allowed quarterbacks to average 227 passing yards per game this season, which is ranked ninth-best in the league. Mahomes has also failed to hit this total in four of his previous five games, including a game against these Broncos on December 5th.

Other Recommendations - Jalen Hurts under 42.5 rushing yards, Ezekiel Elliott over 44.5 rushing yards, DeVonta Smith under 53.5 receiving yards

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
