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.

Joe Mixon MORE than 61.5 rushing yards
In full disclosure, I managed to get this play earlier at 58.5, but I would still play it at 61.5. Mixon has rushed for more than this total in four of his previous five games. He has also averaged over 17 carries per game across this span. The matchup should work in his favor as well.
On the season, the Buffalo Bills have allowed the eighth-most total rushing yards to the running back position. They have also allowed an average of 4.8 yards per carry to the running back position this season. The Bengals will also enter this game as slight favorites, so they may be running the ball late in the game to ice this one away.
James Cook MORE than 50.5 rushing yards
We are going to go with both running backs in this game as both of these defenses have struggled a bit against the run in 2023. On the season, the Bengals have allowed over 4.5 yards per carry to the running back position. They have also allowed the running back position to average over 94 rushing yards per game.
Cook has eclipsed this total in each of his previous three games. He has also averaged nearly 14 carries per game across this span. The fact that this game is expected to be close with the Bengals favored by two also tells me that the Bills should not have to abandon the run in this one, which should give Cook plenty of chances to get over this total.
Josh Allen MORE than 27.5 rushing yards
Although Josh Allen has only eclipsed this total in three of eight games this season, I like his chances in this one. The Bengals have allowed the fourth-most rushing yards to quarterbacks this season. With this game expected to be close, we could definitely see Allen look to use his legs more in this game as well.
Other Recommendations: Ja'Marr Chase MORE than 7.5 receptions
