Ellis' favorite Week 8 prop bets on Sleeper. This week he has selected a 30x your money parlay. Use Ellis' picks to win money on Sleeper!
It’s Halloween weekend and I have a treat for spooky season. With all teams in action this week, why not have a prop parlay to set up as you recover from Halloween Saturday?
Here’s my second prop parlay of the week to enjoy this Sunday, hopefully building on back-to-back 3-1 weeks and our 16-12 total. In light of the World Series, if we can manage to start hitting above 500, I’d be very happy. I’m hoping we can find some gems in this early slate of games.
My name is Ellis Johnson and I have been writing for RotoBaller for four years. You can catch my weekly Fantasy Pie Shop articles on RotoBaller (trust me, it’s as fun as it sounds), or my prop parlay for the early slate of games. RotoBaller is coming out with weekly DFS plays and lots of great analysis with their DFS pass. Be sure to check it out as the team has been crushing it so far this year!

Austin Ekeler (RB, LAC)
Over 0.5 rushing yards, Bears @ Chargers
A sleeper special here. Just to ice the cake a little, we have Ekeler over 0.5 rushing yards available on Sleeper. Now that’s easy money right there.
D.K. Metcalf (WR, SEA)
Over 3.5 receptions, Browns @ Seahawks
This season has been relatively disappointing for the athletic monstrosity that is Metcalf. With one game in the top 20 WRs (WR19 in Week 1), it’s becoming do-or-die for Metcalf in fantasy.
Thankfully, he has been getting enough targets to provide managers with some optimism. This week, he has a brutal matchup against the Browns. However, with Tyler Lockett recovering from a hamstring injury and Kenneth Walker dealing with a calf injury, he might be force-fed the ball. As a result, I think he’ll easily surpass 3.5 receptions in what should be a competitive game.
Gus Edwards (RB, BAL)
Over 55.5 rushing yards, Ravens @ Cardinals
Edwards has never been an “attractive” pick, but he always seems to produce. With J.K. Dobbins missing basically the entire season, Edwards has clearly been the leader of this backfield with Justice Hill being used in change-of-pace scenarios.
The Ravens are set up for the biggest blowout of the weekend against the 1-6 Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been slightly below average giving up yards to the RB position, allowing nearly 100 yards and 24 attempts per game. Edwards has double-digit carries in every game since Week 2, making 55.5 rushing yards very attainable in this lopsided game script.
Isiah Pacheco (RB, KC)
Over 2.5 receptions, Chiefs @ Broncos
For the first time since Damien Williams a few years ago, Kansas City has a clear lead running back. Pacheco has become a staple in this offense both on the ground and in the receiving game.
This week, they face a Broncos team that is last in fantasy points allowed to the RB position and sixth in RB targets against per game. Pacheco has 10 targets over his last two games, both in what were plus game scripts. Assuming the Chiefs will have no issues in this game, I believe Pacheco will find his way to three receptions, just from being on the field all the time. After all, he had four receptions against this Broncos team two weeks ago.
Tee Higgins (WR, CIN)
Over 46.5 yards, Bengals @ 49ers
He’s back. Both Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow are reportedly near 100% health for the first time in a long time. In what I believe is the matchup of the week, the Bengals face a stumbling 49ers team in a test of Super Bowl contenders.
This 49ers team has a much-needed home game this week after getting dissected by a surgical Kirk Cousins in prime time last week (who would have thought we’d be saying that). With Joe Mixon’s abysmal efficiency on the ground, facing the best-rushing defense in the league is not what the doctor ordered.
I expect the Bengals will be aggressively passing the ball all game in an effort to add to the 49ers' losing streak. Although this season has been disappointing, I don’t believe this Bengals team can be fairly judged before their bye. Last season, in games where Higgins played 50% of snaps or more, he only failed to reach 47 yards once. This should be a lock as the 49ers attempt to shut down Ja’Marr Chase, who is always open.

Evan McPherson (K, CIN)
Over 1.5 made field goals, Bengals @ 49ers
I’ll make this one quick. Building on my analysis of this Bengals offense, I expect this to be an excellent duel of elite offensive play against one of the league’s best defenses. If that’s the case, a clear weather game in San Francisco should give McPherson the attempts to cash this one in.
If you combine these six props, you get 30 times your money. Let’s make this a great Halloween with more treats than tricks. Thanks for reading.
