Wild Card Weekend Sleeper DFS Prop Picks: Saturday Slate
Kareem Hunt OVER 23.5 Rushing Yards
Hunt is showing value on his rushing prop in the first game of this year’s NFL playoffs. He has hit 27 or more rushing yards in nine of 12 games since Week 6 (excluding a zero attempt Week 18). His usage has ticked upward since QB Joe Flacco took over under center as the Browns have skewed more to passing formations with the gunslinger.
Rotoballer's Proptimizer tool is in line with this pick, giving it a 13.7% edge with a Sharp App projected line of 30.1 rushing yards.
Amari Cooper OVER 5.5 Receptions
Cooper is enjoying an impressive second campaign with Cleveland, finishing the regular season with a career-high 1,250 receiving yards in just 15 games. He has shown a particularly strong rapport with QB Joe Flacco, tallying 42 targets, 25 catches, 485 receiving yards, and three touchdowns over four games with Flacco.
The 29-year-old is a good bet for double-digit targets again on Sunday against the Texans, who have been a top-12 matchup for opposing fantasy receivers this season. They have allowed seven or more catches to opposing WR1s in three of their last four.
Flacco is averaging 24.6 completions and 40.8 attempts per game for the Browns this season and shows no signs of slowing down. Ride with Cooper and the Browns passing attack on Saturday.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.

Rashee Rice OVER 65.5 Receiving Yards
Rice emerged as the Chiefs' number-one wide receiver over the second half of the season, averaging 86.3 yards over his last six games. He has a great opportunity to continue producing this week against a banged-up Dolphins secondary that has four of their starting defensive backs on the injury report.
The Dolphins are the eighth-best matchup for opposing fantasy receivers this year and present a favorable matchup for Rice. PFF projects an excellent 87.3 matchup advantage for Rice against Miami’s secondary, the fourth-best receiver matchup of the entire week.
QB Patrick Mahomes attempted 34 passes in 11 of his 16 games this season despite a down year. The Chiefs will need to push the ball to their top receiving options on Saturday night if they expect to keep pace with the Dolphins and their quick-strike offense.
