Hello everybody and welcome! Thanksgiving Day football is here 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 England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.

Single-Stat NFL and Fantasy Score 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.
Josh Allen over .5 passing yards - The kind folks over at PrizePicks have decided to give us a freebie on Thanksgiving night. Do not waste this opportunity, and go ahead and use him on any of your plays up to $25.
Emmanuel Sanders over 39.5 receiving yards - Sanders could be a focal point in the passing offense tonight as Stefon Diggs will likely be shadowed by Marshon Lattimore, which will leave Sanders open a bit more. Sanders has only gone over this total in two of his previous five games, but he was a major piece of this offense at the beginning of the season and could return to form tonight back in New Orleans where he recently played. On the season, he has gone over this total in seven of 10 games played.
Tre'Quan Smith over 34.5 receiving yards - Smith has seen 15 targets over his previous two games and should be heavily involved tonight as Alvin Kamara is set to miss the game and Mark Ingram's status is currently up in the air. Smith has gone over this total in each of the previous two games, and with the Saints being underdogs in this one, has a good shot to get over once again.
Dawson Knox over 34.5 receiving yards - Knox has managed to get over this total in three of his previous five games played and will be facing a Saints defense that has allowed an average of over 50 receiving yards per game to the tight end position over their previous four games. Knox is another pass catcher that could benefit from Diggs gaining the attention of Marshon Lattimore.
Other Recommendations - Stefon Diggs under 16.5 fantasy score,
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
