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 PrizePicks for the Thursday Night Football game between the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Score and Single-Stat NFL 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.
Courtland Sutton over 66.5 receiving yards - Sutton has managed to go over this total in three of his previous five games and has a solid matchup against the Browns in this one. Over the previous four weeks, the Browns have allowed wide receivers to average over 180 receiving yards per game, which ranks ninth-worst in the league over that span. Sutton has seen the most targets of any Broncos' pass catcher with 53 and also has the most receiving yards on the team with 471. The Browns have also been stronger against the run as they are allowing running backs to average just 75 rushing yards per game, so the Broncos could look to throw the ball a bit more in this one.
Teddy Bridgewater over 230.5 passing yards - Teddy and the Broncos have been throwing the ball more lately as he has 34 or more passing attempts in three of the Broncos' five previous games. He has also gone over this total in three of their previous five games and threw for 235 passing yards in a fourth game. As aforementioned, this Browns' rush defense has been solid lately and this could make the Broncos come out with a more pass-heavy attack. They are also underdogs by 3.5 points, which could force them to throw a bit later in the game as well.
Odell Beckham Jr. over 56.5 receiving yards - Beckham Jr. should be relied upon heavily in this game as the Browns will enter the contest without Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. This could be a great spot for him also because the Broncos have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game to wideouts over the previous four weeks by allowing 195 yards per game. Beckham Jr. has also seen an average of nearly seven targets per game in the four games he has played and has eclipsed this total in two of those games.
Melvin Gordon over 11.5 receiving yards - Since the Browns have been so solid against the run, Denver may look to get their backs in play via the short pass, and Melvin Gordon is great for that. Over his first six games, Gordon has totaled 119 receiving yards on 13 receptions. He has also eclipsed this total in four of his six games and posted 11 yards receiving in one other game.
Other Recommendations: Odell Beckham Jr. over 11.0 fantasy score, Donovan Peoples-Jones over 6.0 fantasy score, Baker Mayfield over 16.0 fantasy score
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
