PrizePicks NFL DFS Prop Picks - Jets vs. Colts 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 New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts.

Single-Stat NFL Totals

Before diving into some solid fantasy score totals this week, we must first cover the PrizePicks scoring format. The format is PPR, which stands for point per reception, meaning every reception is worth one point. Rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth six points and passing touchdowns are worth four points. Each rushing or receiving yard is worth .1, meaning every 10 yards of either is worth one point. Quarterback passing yards are worth .04, which means every 25 passing yards are worth one point. If you ever have questions, you can always click the "scoring chart" option above the player selections for each contest. Now let's get to some solid fantasy score props for this week.

Mike White over 245.5 passing yards - Mike White and the Jets will enter this game as double-digit underdogs, so a bit of extra passing should be expected from this offense. White is fresh off a 405-yard passing performance against the Cincinnati Bengals and will now go against a Colts' defense that has allowed an average of nearly 283 passing yards per game over the previous four weeks. They have also allowed three of the previous four quarterbacks they have faced to get over this total, with the one exception being Jimmy Garoppolo on a monsoon of a Monday night two weeks ago.

Carson Wentz over 236.5 passing yards - Carson Wentz has gone over this total in just three games this season, but is about to go up against a Jets' defense that have allowed quarterbacks to pass for an average of 317 yards per game over their previous three games. They have also allowed under 90 rushing yards per game to running backs over this span, so Jonathan Taylor may not find it as easy as you think to move the ball on the ground.

Jonathan Taylor over 14.5 receiving yards - While Taylor could find some trouble running in this game, he should be able to cruise over this receiving total as he did last week against Tennessee when he hauled in three receptions for 52 yards. He will be facing a Jets' defense that has allowed 26 receptions and 265 receiving yards to backs over their previous three games.

Jamison Crowder over 59.5 receiving yards - Pairing Crowder with White could make a lot of sense in this game, especially if Corey Davis is out or even limited in this game after having missed practice on Monday and Tuesday. Crowder has seen an average of 7.5 targets per game since returning on October 3rd and has managed to haul in an average of nearly six receptions per game. He will be facing a Colts' defense that has allowed wide receivers to average nearly 172 receiving yards per game, so Crowder should have a good shot of getting over this total as at least one wide receiver has gone over this total against the Colts in all but one game this season.

Other Recommendations: Jonathan Taylor over 2.5 receptions, Mo Alie-Cox over 20.5 receiving yards, Nyheim Hines over 10.5 receiving yards

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
