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 fantasy score totals for the Week 9 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.
Emmanuel Sanders over 11.5 fantasy score - Sanders got shutout in terms of fantasy points last week, but was still targeted five times in a victory over the Miami Dolphins, so there is no real reason to shy away from him here in terms of volume. He had also gone over this total in his previous four games prior to last week and will have a solid matchup against the Jaguars this week. Over the previous four weeks, the Jags have allowed wide receivers to average nearly 40 fantasy points per game. The Bills are heavy favorites, but will likely move the ball through the air in order to build their lead before grinding the clock away later in the game.
Alvin Kamara over 19.0 fantasy score - Kamara will continue to be the focal point of this offense with no Michael Thomas and now Jameis Winston out for the remainder of the season. In 2021, he has averaged over 23 touches per game and has gone over this total in three of his previous five games. He will likely be relied upon heavily, no matter who the Saints' quarterback is Sunday, and he will be facing a Falcons' defense that has allowed an average of nearly 27 fantasy points per game to the running back position over the previous four weeks.
Rashod Bateman over 9.0 fantasy score - Bateman has seen six targets in each of his first two games with the Ravens and is quickly becoming a favorite target for Lamar Jackson. They will enter this game as six-point favorites, but will likely find most of their success through the air in this one as the Vikings have only allowed 248 rushing yards to running backs over their previous three games. They have, however, allowed an average of nearly 42 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the previous four weeks (three games), which ranks sixth-worst in the league over that span.
Jerry Jeudy over 12.0 fantasy score - Jeudy and the Broncos will enter this game as significant underdogs, which should help improve his chances of earning targets late in the game. He has seen an average of 5.5 targets in his two games played this season and could see some additional targets in this one due to the fact that Trevon Diggs will likely be spending a lot of his time covering Courtland Sutton. Jeudy will also be covered mostly by Cowboys' cornerback, Jourdan Lewis, who has allowed over 13 fantasy points per game to wide receivers thus far in 2021.
Other Recommendations: Joe Burrow over 19.0 fantasy score, Austin Ekeler over 19.0 fantasy score, Jimmy Garoppolo over 14.0 fantasy score
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
