Hello everybody and welcome! The 2022 NFL season is finally underway and that means our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of.
PrizePicks is a great DFS picks 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.

NFL DFS Picks for Monday Night Football
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.
Dalvin Cook more than 84.5 rushing yards - Dalvin Cook should be salivating at his opportunity against this Eagles defense after he saw DeAndre Swift carve them up for 144 rushing yards on just 14 carries in Week 1. Cook is the clear number one back in Minnesota and carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards in a win against the Packers in Week 1. This game figures to be a close one where the Eagles can defend the pass better than the run, so Cook should see a healthy dose of rushing attempts and have a great shot of getting over this total.
A.J. Brown more than 72.5 receiving yards - Brown and quarterback, Jalen Hurts, showed instant chemistry in Week 1 as they hooked up 10 times for 155 yards. Brown should be able to find plenty of success against a Vikings defense that allowed the most yards to wide receivers in 2021 by allowing an average of nearly 193 yards per game. The Eagles also do not have much of a predictable run game to rely on, so a pass-heavy attack with some RPO will almost certainly be the way they look to attack this defense, with Brown being the beneficiary of a large portion of Hurts' targets much the way he was in Week 1.
Josh Allen more than 280.5 passing yards - Although this Titans defense just allowed Saquon Barkley to carve them up for 164 rushing yards on 18 carries, they were stout against the run in 2021 by allowing the second-fewest rushing yards per game to running backs behind only the Bucs.
Another H2 title
This game likely could have been an outlier for the Titans defense, but even if it was not, the Bills do not have a reliable back to take the weight off of Allen's shoulders and he will likely be counted on to move the ball through the air in this one much the way he did against the Rams in Week 1 when he threw for 297 passing yards on 31 attempts. In 2021, the Titans were not as strong against the pass as they allowed the seventh-most passing yards per game to quarterbacks, including a 353 passing yard performance from Josh Allen in Week 6.
Derrick Henry more than 84.5 rushing yards - On the other side of this matchup, the Bills had one of the toughest pass defenses in the league in 2021, and Henry will certainly be relied upon to carry the load for Tennessee in this one. Last week, the Bills allowed Darrell Henderson Jr. to rush for 47 yards on 13 carries, but he had some explosive runs through the Bills' front. Henry was given the ball 21 times and rushed for 82 yards against the Giants, so if he sees a similar workload in this game (and he should) he will have a great shot at getting over this total and may even be able to rush for 100 yards as he did in Week 6 in 2021 when he racked up 141 rushing yards against the Bills.
