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 2
Be sure to also check out our brand new PrizePicks Optimizer tool and the free PrizePicks DFS Props Tool to see more recommended picks.
Keenan Allen MORE than 77.5 receiving yards
Keenan Allen has seen 19 targets over the first two games of the season and has managed to haul in 14 of them for 187 receiving yards. He has eclipsed this total (at the time of this writing) in one of the first two games (76 receiving yards in Week 1 and 111 receiving yards in Week 2) and has a tremendous shot again this week against a lackluster pass defense in Minnesota.
The Vikings have allowed 295 receiving yards to the wide receiver position through the first two weeks. Last week, on Thursday night, Minnesota allowed DeVonta Smith to burn them for 137 yards receiving. In 2022, the Vikings ranked dead last in terms of yards allowed to the position as they gave up an average of 192 receiving yards per game. This game also has a total pushing 55 points, so a shootout could certainly be in the cards.
Kirk Cousins MORE than 289.5 passing yards
Kirk Cousins has thrown for over 300 passing yards in each of his first two contests this season. He has also averaged 44 pass attempts per game as the Vikings have started 0-2 and have not shown the ability to pull away from their opponents in either of their first two games. This figures to be a tight game with a lot of fireworks with the total set at 54.5 and the Vikings being slight underdogs at +1.
This is good news for this matchup as the Chargers have allowed 712 passing yards to the quarterback position through their first two games. Last week, they allowed Ryan Tannehill to go 20-for-24 with 246 passing yards. This is a high number for Tannehill as he only managed to eclipse it in six games a season ago.
Jordan Addison MORE than 45.5 receiving yards
We could easily pair up Kirk Cousins with Justin Jefferson in this game and feel good about it; however, Jordan Addison has a relatively low threshold here as he has eclipsed this total in each of his first two games. He has also garnered 11 targets through the Vikings' first two games and has managed to haul in seven receptions.
As aforementioned, the Chargers defense has been abysmal against the pass. They have allowed wide receivers to rack up 565 receiving yards, which ranks dead last in the league. The fact that Minnesota is a slight dog in this game also contributes to this play being solid as they may be looking to pass a bit more to keep up with the Chargers' high-powered offense.
Drake London MORE than 49.5 receiving yards
Drake London had a very quiet Week 1 in which he did not register a reception, but this was cleared up in Week 2 when he hauled in six of seven targets for 67 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Falcons will enter this game against the Lions as 3.5-point underdogs, which will lead to more passing on their side of the football.
This should be good news as the Lions have struggled against the pass by allowing an average of over 150 receiving yards per game to the wide receiver position so far in 2023. They also struggled vs. wide receivers in 2022 as they allowed an average of over 190 receiving yards per game, which ranked second-worst in the league behind only the Minnesota Vikings.
Other Recommendations: Kenneth Walker III MORE than 61.5 rushing yards, Travis Etienne MORE than 65.5 rushing yards
