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 fantasy score totals for the Week 7 of the NFL season.

Fantasy Score 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 a 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.
Ryan Tannehill over 19.0 fantasy score - Ryan Tannehill had a dud game against the Bills on Monday Night Football, but still managed to put up 216 passing yards and a rushing touchdown against what is one of if not the best pass defense in the league. This week, he will be going up against the Chiefs who have allowed an average of over 26 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position over the previous four weeks, which ranks second-worst in the league. They have allowed an average of over 291 passing yards per game over that span and have also given up 10 passing touchdowns. Add in the fact that the Chiefs are slight favorites in this game and you could have a passing recipe with a big stat line for Tannehill.
A.J. Brown over 15.0 fantasy score - Pairing Brown with Tannehill could be a solid option this week as the Chiefs have also allowed an average of 34 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. Brown has had somewhat of a down start to the season, but he did rebound in a big way last week vs. the Bills by hauling in seven of nine targets for 91 yards. This week, he could have a solid shot to get in the end zone as the Chiefs have allowed the sixth-most receiving touchdowns to the position (6) over the previous four weeks.
Cordarrelle Patterson over 15.0 fantasy score - Patterson has been used as an extremely versatile weapon in this Falcons offense as he has rushed the ball 41 times and caught the ball 25 times over the previous five games. He can do it all and likely will against a Miami defense that has allowed an average of 30 fantasy points per game to the running back position over the previous four weeks as well as an average of over 50 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. These rank fourth-worst and worst in the league, respectively, and should put Patterson in line for a very solid afternoon.
Marquise Brown over 13.0 fantasy score - Brown had a tough week against the Chargers last week as he only managed to put up 6.5 fantasy points, but he has managed to eclipse 13 fantasy points in three of his previous four games. He will be facing Eli Apple mostly in this game against the Bengals, and Apple has allowed an average of over 12 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. The Bengals as a whole have allowed an average of over 34 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the previous four weeks. Given that Brown is so heavily targeted in this offense (he has seen 43 targets through six games), he could be in line for a solid day.
Other Recommendations: Mac Jones under 17.0 fantasy score, Hunter Henry over 9.0 fantasy score, Josh Jacobs over 14.0 fantasy score, Darrell Henderson over 16.0 fantasy score, Matt Ryan over 18.0 fantasy score
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
