Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is well 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 single-stat scores for Week 6 of the NFL Season.

Single Stat NFL Totals
Terry McLaurin over 79.5 receiving yards - McLaurin and the Football Team get a solid matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. Currently, the Chiefs are allowing wide receivers to average 163 receiving yards per game. McLaurin is the top target in Washington and the most likely to benefit from the Chiefs' poor pass defense as he has seen 49 targets through the team's first five games. The fact that Washington is also a 6.5-point underdog in this game should also increase the volume McLaurin sees in this one. McLaurin has also eclipsed this total in two games this season, both of which came against similar sub-par pass defenses in the New York Giants and the Atlanta Falcons.
Jakobi Meyers over 61.5 receiving yards - Meyers gets one of his best matchups of the season this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys secondary. Over the previous four weeks, the Cowboys have allowed wide receivers to average 202 receiving yards per game over the previous four weeks, which ranks sixth-worst in the league. He has seen plenty of volume as well as he has earned 31 targets over the previous three games and hauled in 21 receptions for 220 receiving yards in that span. The Patriots are (of course) underdogs in this game and this should mean additional targets for Meyers as well.
Nick Chubb over 85.5 rushing yards - Nick Chubb has become a staple in this article as he has now gone over 100 rushing yards in each of the Browns' previous two games and has averaged 104.6 rushing yards per game on the season. This week, he gets a matchup vs. the Arizona Cardinals, who are allowing running backs to rush for 106 yards per game over the previous four weeks, which ranks 10th-worst in the league. They are also giving up nearly 5.6 yards per carry, which means Chubbs' average carries per game of 18 could result in yet another 100-yard rushing performance. The Browns are at home and will want to keep the explosive Cardinals offense off the field as much as possible, and Chubb should be a key benefactor of that strategy.
Patrick Mahomes over 310.5 passing yards - Mahomes will enter this game without Clyde Edwards-Helaire and will likely have to shoulder the load in this game. He has thrown for over 300 yards in two of five games this season, but has not thrown for over 300 in any of his previous three games. That being said, his previous three opponents were the Bills, Eagles, and Chargers, each of which ranks inside the top 12 in terms of passing yards allowed over the previous four weeks. The Washington Football Team has allowed quarterbacks to throw for nearly 292 passing yards per game over the previous four weeks, which ranks ninth-worst in the league. Look for Mahomes to come out slinging it in this one in order to get his team back on track after a 2-3 start to the season.
James Robinson over 72.5 rushing yards - James Robinson has seen his workload increase in recent weeks as he has averaged 17 carries per game over the previous three weeks compared to just eight carries per game over the first two weeks. He has also managed to rush for 75+ yards in each of the previous three weeks and is fresh off a 149-yard rushing performance last week against the Tennessee Titans. This week, he will be facing the Miami Dolphins who are allowing running backs to average nearly 121 rushing yards per game over the previous four weeks, which ranks fifth-worst in the league.
Other Recommendations - Darrell Henderson over 15.5 receiving yards, Najee Harris over .5 touchdowns, Patrick Mahomes over 2.5 passing touchdowns, Mark Andrews over 5 receptions
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
