Week 3 NFL - Fantasy Score DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is finally underway 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.

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 fantasy score totals for the Week 3 of the NFL season.

Fantasy Score 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 a 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.

Ty'Son Williams over 12.0 fantasy score - The Ravens come into this game as nine-point favorites, which should mean some added volume in the rushing attack. Williams has seen 22 carries over the previous two games and saw 13 in Week 2 against the Chiefs. He is also involved in the passing game as he has five receptions on six targets thus far. He gets a solid matchup vs. the Lions as they have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to backs and have also allowed backs to haul in nine of nine targets on the season.

T.J. Hockenson over 14.5 fantasy score - Seeing as the Lions are nine-point dogs in this game, they are going to need someone to help them out in the passing game and that is where Hockenson comes in. Over the first two weeks, he has been a favorite of Jared Goff as he has hauled in 16 of 20 targets over his first two games. He also gets a solid matchup against the Ravens who have allowed tight ends to average 26.7 fantasy points per game over the first two weeks, which ranks worst in the league. While they did face Kelce last week, they also allowed Darren Waller to go off for 10 receptions, 110 yards, and a score. Hockenson should be able to thrive in this matchup.

Kyle Pitts over 13.0 fantasy score - Kyle Pitts has seen 14 targets and hauled in nine receptions over the previous two weeks, so Matt Ryan is certainly looking his way. He enters this game with a solid matchup against the Giants who have allowed tight ends to 20.45 points per game over the previous two weeks. Last week, Logan Thomas hauled in five receptions for 45 yards and had several other opportunities to expound on that performance. Pitts should be targeted heavily in this and should get over the hump.

Austin Ekeler over 16.0 fantasy score - Ekeler enters this high-flying game against the Chiefs as a matchup-independent player as he is heavily involved in both the passing offense and rushing offense. On the season, he has been handed the ball 24 times and has hauled in all nine of his targets. He will be facing the aforementioned Chiefs and they have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to backs by giving up over 30 points. Look for the Chargers to come out and get Ekeler established early, and if they fall behind, he will certainly be involved in the passing game.

Other Recommendations: Kyler Murray over 26.0 fantasy score, Marquise Brown over 13.5 fantasy score, Jared Cook over 8.5 fantasy score

Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
