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 8 of the NFL Season.

Single Stat NFL Totals
Josh Allen under 294.5 passing yards - Allen could certainly throw for over 300 yards against the Dolphins as they are allowing quarterbacks to average nearly 334 passing yards per game, which is rankled worst in the league. That being said, Miami is also allowing running backs to average nearly 100 rushing yards per game over that same span, so Devin Singletary and Zack Moss should have solid roles in this game. In Week 2, these two teams squared off and the Bills blew the Dolphins out 35-0 in a game where Allen only threw for 179 passing yards. Look for a similar approach in this one.
Trevor Lawrence over 260.5 passing yards - Lawrence has started to warm up in recent weeks as he has eclipsed 270 passing yards in both of his previous two games. He will now get a solid matchup against the Seattle Seahawks who have allowed four of the seven teams they have faced to throw for over 300 passing yards. This is also a game where the Jaguars are 3.5-point underdogs and Lawrence could be throwing a bit more later in the game in an attempt to come back.
Derrick Henry over 106.5 rushing yards - Henry has what is considered a smaller number for him here at just 106.5 rushing yards and will be facing a Colts' team he already ran for 113 yards against in Week 3. Aside from this performance, the Colts have also allowed four other teams to rush for 99 yards or more out of their backfields. This is a game that is expected to be close, and therefore, you could see some additional carries from Henry who is already averaging over 27 carries per game.
Michael Pittman Jr. over 59.5 receiving yards - Pittman has been a focal point in this passing game as he has averaged nearly eight targets per game over the previous six weeks. He has also managed to eclipse this receiving total in five of those six weeks and gets a solid matchup in this one. Over the previous four weeks, the Titans are allowing wide receivers to average nearly 226 receiving yards per game, which is ranked last in the league. They have also allowed a wide receiver to go over this total in every game thus far in 2021.
Darrell Henderson over 79.5 rushing yards - While Henderson has eclipsed this total in just two of his previous five games, this is a great spot for him to have a huge game on the ground. First, the Rams will enter this game as 14-point favorites, which is a huge spread and should enable Henderson to get extra carries down the stretch. Second, and most importantly, the Texans have allowed the most rushing yards to running backs over the previous four weeks by giving up nearly 144 yards per game. They are also allowing over 5.4 yards per carry across that span, so if Henderson can get somewhere around 15 carries in this game (he averages 16 per game on the season), he should be able to get over this total.
Other Recommendations - Carson Wentz over 245.5 passing yards, Cordarrelle Patterson over 53.5 rushing yards, Adam Thielen over 63.5 receiving yards
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
