Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is finally underway 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 the Monday night opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Score NFL Totals and 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.
Jalen Hurts over 245.5 passing yards - Hurts just had a somewhat rough game against the 49ers in which he only threw for 190 passing yards, but he was able to exploit a weak Falcons secondary in Week 1 when he threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Tonight, he gets a very soft matchup against the Dallas Cowboys who have allowed 717 passing yards to quarterbacks through the first two weeks of the season. The Cowboys are also four-point home favorites in this one. which should increase the number of passes we see from Hurts in this one, helping him get over the total.
DeVonta Smith over 50.5 receiving yards - If we like Hurts to get over this total, it makes sense to look at one of his top wide receivers to do the same. Over the previous two weeks, Smith has seen 15 targets, which leads all Eagles wide receivers. He, like Hurts, had solid success against a weak secondary in Atlanta when he hauled in six of eight targets for 71 receiving yards and a touchdown. Look for a similar type of target share in this one and him getting over the the threshold.
Ezekiel Elliott over 13.0 fantasy score - While Elliott has struggled a bit to begin 2021 as he has just 104 rushing yards through his first two games, this could be the matchup where he finally gets going. The Cowboys come into the game as four-point favorites and could be running the ball a bit later in the game to melt away the clock. The Eagles have also struggled a bit against the run this season as they have allowed running backs to rush for 205 yards through their first two games, which is the 10th-most in the league thus far. The Cowboys will want to get Zeke rolling and need to get Zeke rolling if they want to have sustained success this season. That starts on Monday night.
