Raiders @ Bengals: Touchdown Dance Contest

Recommended Prop Pick:

Josh Jacobs, Joe Mixon, and Ja'Marr Chase to combine for more than 1.5 touchdowns

Any one of these players is capable of scoring multiple touchdowns on their own in this game, so we should have a good shot of getting more than 1.5 total in this game. Jacobs has seen plenty of volume lately as he has averaged 21 carries per game over the previous four weeks. Jacobs has also scored in each of his previous two games and will be up against a Bengals defense that has allowed 13 rushing touchdowns to running backs in 2021, which is ranked in the bottom half of the league.

Joe Mixon should get plenty of work in this game as he has carried the ball at least 17 times in six of his previous seven games and has also scored 16 touchdowns on the season. He will be facing a Raiders defense that has allowed a whopping 23 total touchdowns to running backs in 2021.

Ja'Marr Chase has been a touchdown machine in 2021 as he has hauled in a total of 13 receiving touchdowns, which ranks third-best in the NFL. He has been Joe Burrow's favorite target down the stretch as he has averaged over eight targets per game across his previous five full games played and has also scored multiple touchdowns in two of those games.

Raiders @ Bengals: Fantasy Challenge Contest

Recommended Prop Pick:

Darren Waller, Joe Mixon, and Ja'Marr Chase to combine for more than 60.5 fantasy points

We are almost going to run it back in this contest with the aforementioned players, except in this one we want to add in Darren Waller instead of Josh Jacobs. Waller has one of the best matchups on the slate this weekend against the Bengals. In 2021, Cincinnati has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and sixth-most touchdowns to the tight end position. This adds up to them allowing 15 fantasy points per game to the position. In their last meeting back in Week 11, the Bengals allowed Waller to haul in 7 receptions for 116 yards, which totaled 18.6 fantasy points.

Patriots @ Bills: More or Less Contest

Recommended Prop Pick:

Devin Singletary more than 11.5 fantasy points and Jakobi Meyers more than 10.5 fantasy points

Singletary should see plenty of work in this game as the weather is expected to be very cold and possibly sloppy. He has carried the load the past few weeks as he is averaging 19 carries and two receptions per game over the previous four weeks. He has also scored over this fantasy total in five straight games. The matchup is solid as the Patriots have allowed nearly 24 fantasy points per game to the running back position in 2021.

I would not normally recommend a wide receiver against this Bills defense, but the Patriots will enter this game as underdogs and could be forced to throw the ball a bit more than they want. Meyers would be the biggest beneficiary of extra pass attempts as he has averaged nearly nine targets per game over his previous five games. He has also gone over this total in four of his previous five games, including an 11.9-point performance against these Bills in Week 16.
