PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
PrizePicks is a great DFS picks 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.
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.
NFL DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Week 8 Sunday Night

Justin Herbert MORE than 265.5 passing yards
Justin Herbert has eclipsed this total in just two of his previous five contests, but he has a solid shot of eclipsing it on Sunday night against these Chicago Bears. On the season, the Bears have allowed the fifth-most passing yards to the quarterback position. They have also allowed an average of nearly 267 passing yards per game on the season.
While the Bears' pass defense has been abysmal, their run defense has actually been relatively solid. Over the previous four weeks, the Bears have allowed running backs to average just 46 rushing yards per game. They have also allowed the third-fewest rushing yards in total to the position over this span. This will make it difficult for the Chargers to get Joshua Kelley and Austin Ekeler going on the ground and almost force them to move the ball through the air.
Keenan Allen MORE than 81.5 receiving yards
Pairing Keenan Allen with Justin Herbert makes a ton of sense in this game as Allen has averaged 11 targets per game over the previous five weeks. He has also averaged nearly 100 receiving yards per game over the previous five weeks while eclipsing this total in three of those five games.
On the season, the Bears have allowed 560 total receiving yards to the wide receiver position, which ranks in the bottom half of the league. Allen could be in line for a huge game here much like Mike Evans put up in Week 2 when he hauled in six receptions for 171 receiving yards and a touchdown against this Bears' defense.
D.J. Moore MORE than 57.5 receiving yards
Although D.J. Moore has only eclipsed this total in two of his previous four games, he has come extremely close in two games by putting up 51 receiving yards and 54 receiving yards, respectively. He and the Bears will enter this game as 5.5-point underdogs, so they will likely need to throw in order to keep up with the Chargers' offense. This will be good news against this Chargers' defense.
On the season, the Los Angeles Chargers have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to the wide receiver position and this is with them having had their bye week already. Over the previous four weeks, the Chargers have allowed an average of nearly 160 receiving yards per game to wide receivers. D.J. Moore has also averaged nine targets per game over the previous four weeks, so he should see plenty of volume once again.
