Week 3 NFL DFS Picks for PrizePicks

Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Hello everybody and welcome! The 2022 NFL season is underway and that means our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great DFS plays we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS 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. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.

NFL DFS Picks for Week 3

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.

Kyle Pitts more than 45.5 receiving yards - Pitts has been a large disappointment this season, but this is the perfect spot for him to get right, especially after all the criticism the Falcons have received for not getting him more involved. The Falcons enter this game against Seattle as slight underdogs, so may throw a bit more. Also, the Seahawks have struggled in the early going against the tight end position as they have allowed an average of 62 receiving yards per game to the position, which ranks ninth-worst in the league.

Joe Mixon more than 72.5 rushing yards - Mixon has been a horse to begin the season as he has carried the ball a combined 46 times in the Bengals' first two games while eclipsing this total in one of those games. They will enter this game against the Jets as five-point favorites and should be able to pound the ball on the ground. This strategy should also work to their advantage as the Jets just allowed Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to combine for 145 rushing yards in Week 2.

David Montgomery more than 63.5 rushing yards - I like this pick where it is, but it might be advantageous to see if it falls due to people not realizing Montgomery's abilities, especially in this game. He has carried the ball at least 15 times in both of the Bears' first two games and has racked up 148 rushing yards, including a 122-yard performance against the Packers on Sunday night. Now, he will be facing the Texans, who have allowed the most rushing yards to backs to begin the season, in a game where the Bears are favored by a field goal.

Jared Goff more than 240.5 passing yards - Goff and the Lions will walk into Minnesota as seven-point underdogs, which should certainly equate to some additional passing. This is great news as the Vikings have struggled against the pass to begin 2022. This was mostly noticed on Monday night when they allowed Jalen Hurts to carve them up for 333 passing yards. They also ranked third-worst in the league in 2021 by allowing quarterbacks to average over 273 passing yards per game.
