Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is alive and well and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props 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.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NFL, Single Stat consists of quarterback passing yards, running back rushing yards, and wide receiver receiving yards in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some props for Week 15's Monday night contests.

NFL Single-Stat Totals
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.
Justin Fields over 190.5 passing yards - Fields has not been good in 2021, but he does have a good shot to get over this total on Monday night. He has hit this mark in three of his previous five games and is fresh off a 224-yard performance against the Packers last Sunday night. Now, he gets to face an abysmal Vikings defense that has allowed an average of 282 passing yards per game to quarterbacks over the previous four weeks. The Bears will also be underdogs in this game, which could add for some additional passing.
Dalvin Cook over 86.5 rushing yards - What a horse Cook has been when he's healthy! He has gone over this total in four of his previous five starts and gets a relatively solid matchup vs. the Bears fresh of a 205-yard performance last Thursday night. The Bears are allowing an average of over 85 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks. Last week, they allowed A.J. Dillon and Aaron Jones to combine for over 100 rushing yards. The Vikings entering the game as favorites should also help increase Cook's volume in this one.
Darnell Mooney over 50.5 receiving yards - I will admit that I got burned on Mooney last Sunday night against the Packers in that shootout, but he has another solid matchup in this one. He has two separate consecutive 100-yard receiving yard games in his previous four games and will be facing a Vikings defense that has allowed nearly 223 yards per game to wide receivers over their previous four games. Mooney has seen an average of nine targets per game over his previous four games and should be the number one target for Fields in this game.
Hunter Renfrow over 74.5 receiving yards - We are getting to the point where Renfrow's total cannot be set high enough. He has now gone over 100 receiving yards in three straight games and may not slow down against the Cleveland pass defense. They are fresh off of a game where Roshod Bateman lit them up for over 100 receiving yards and they have also allowed a wide receiver to eclipse this total in four of their five previous games. The Raiders will also enter this contest as six-point underdogs and could be throwing a bit more to stay in the game.
Other Recommendations - Kirk Cousins over 265.5 passing yards, David Montgomery under 59.5 rushing yards, Darnell Mooney over 4 receptions
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
