As always, there are some solid props we can look to take advantage of in a couple of these games including the Falcons at Viking and Texans at Titans.
Falcons @ Vikings More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Matt Ryan more than 300.5 passing yards and Kirk Cousins more than 280.5 passing yards
This game sets up to be a shootout as it has a total of 54.5 currently, which is one of the highest totals on the board. Matt Ryan has posted a couple of dud fantasy performances in the previous few weeks, but is still averaging nearly 295 passing yards per game. He will be facing a Vikings Defense that has allowed nearly 265 passing yards per game the previous four weeks. The fact that the Falcons are dogs here also helps with this prop as Ryan will likely be throwing late in the game, especially since they rank in the middle of the pack in rushing yards per game with 117.
As bad as the Vikings secondary is, the Falcons are even worse. They have allowed over 350 passing yards per game over the previous four weeks. While Cousins has yet to have that monster game in 2020, this could be the one as the Vikings are expected to be without Dalvin Cook. This could mean huge games for Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. The reason behind this is because the Falcons have allowed over 210 receiving yards per game to wide receivers over the previous four weeks, which ranks second-worst in the league over that span.

Texans @ Titans Fantasy Challenge Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown, and Will Fuller over 57.5 Fantasy Points
This is one of my favorite games this week and I especially like it from a fantasy standpoint. Derrick Henry is one of the toughest and most obvious lead backs in the league and he has a stellar matchup vs. Houston this week. The Texans have allowed 543 rushing yards to backs over the previous four weeks, which is ranked worst in the league. They are allowing over 135 rushing yards per game and nearly 5.3 yards per carry to backs. This is an absolute smash spot for Henry who is averaging over 25 carries per game in 2020. He is also a major threat to score as he has posted four scores through his first four contests.
A.J. Brown is back and was a big reason for the Titans' success in Week 5. He hauled in seven of his nine targets for 82 yards and a score. He was clearly a favorite target of Ryan Tannehill as noted by the nine looks he received Tuesday night. The Texans have been average at best vs. wide receivers over the previous four weeks as they have allowed 165 receiving yards per game, but they have also allowed four touchdowns over that span and given up 51 receptions. Brown is an absolute beast and one of the biggest wide receivers in the league, which will also make him a handful for this Texans' secondary. He should be a solid play for this prop.
Will Fuller has put together a solid season thus far in 2020 as he has hauled in 22 of 30 targets for 332 yards and three scores. The Titans have allowed the 12th most receiving yards to wideouts over the previous four weeks, but keep in mind that they have only played three games in that span. They are actually allowing over 225 receiving yards per game to the position and have also given up four touchdowns. This is a prime spot for Fuller to take advantage of this secondary on at least one big deep play as he has grown accustomed to doing.
Bonus Play: One other player I really love in this game is Jonnu Smith. Smith has earned 27 targets through his first four games and managed to haul in 18 receptions for 221 yards. He has also been a monster in the endzone as he has hauled in five scores, including two games with two touchdowns each. Houston has been average vs. the tight end as they rank 12th in receptions allowed and 14th in yards allowed. He could certainly have a solid day in this one.

Texans @ Titans Reception Collection Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
A.J. Brown, Jonnu Smith, and Will Fuller over 17.5 receptions
I am going to recommend the same corps of players from this Texans/Titans game for the reception collection contest as well. It is a game that will likely be highly targeted in DFS and the same should hold true on MKF.
A.J. Brown returned to action last week and reeled in seven receptions on nine targets. Though Corey Davis' status should be monitored leading up to this game, Brown still garnered eight targets and five receptions Week 1 vs. Denver with both Davis and Adam Humphries present in the lineup. He should be the top target for Ryan Tannehill moving forward.
Jonnu Smith has seen the fifth-most targets per game at the tight end position with an average of nearly seven per game. He is also hauling in the fifth-most receptions among the position with nearly five per game. He has picked up the pace lately as he has seen 15 targets and caught 10 passes in the last two games combined. He will certainly be a focal point in this offense moving forward and should be able to find success vs. an average Texans' defense.
Will Fuller is the bonafide top receiver in Houston. He is currently averaging over seven targets per game and nearly six receptions per game. As aforementioned, he will be facing a Titans Defense that has been giving up chunks of yards to wideouts, but they have also allowed 16 receptions per game to the position. He should be in line for a solid day.
