PrizePicks Plays: 49ers vs. Ravens
- Brandon Aiyuk + Lamar Jackson – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
- Christian McCaffrey – More Than 31.5 Receiving Yards
- Deebo Samuel – More Than 59.5 Receiving Yards
Brandon Aiyuk + Lamar Jackson – 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
This is such a beautiful combination to be able to choose, as Lamar Jackson and Brandon Aiyuk combine for better than a 1.0 RotoGrinders touchdown projection tonight. Lamar is always dangerous near the end zone and should be an even bigger rushing threat tonight without Keaton Mitchell. Lamar hasn’t had a rushing touchdown since the beginning of the season and is due for some serious positive regression. Aiyuk, on the other hand, has scored in 4 of his past 5 games.
Play: Aiyuk + Jackson – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
Christian McCaffrey – 31.5 Receiving Yards
McCaffrey’s receiving yard number always feels a bit too low on PrizePicks. He has a better than 65% win rate according to the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks to achieve more than 31.5 receiving yards, the highest of any player in this game. The RotoGrinders projections have McCaffrey for more than 40 receiving yards tonight as well. CMac has eclipsed this number in 7 games already this season and is incredibly active in the passing game as long as the 49ers aren’t playing with a heavy lead.
Play: McCaffrey – More Than 31.5 Receiving Yards
Deebo Samuel – 59.5 Receiving Yards
Speaking of players who are incredibly active for the 49ers, Deebo Samuel has been on an absolute tear recently. I was tempted to pick his “Demon” payout boost for a touchdown instead, as I love that DFS Pick’em play on NFL PrizePicks tonight as well. Deebo has eclipsed 60 yards receiving in 5 of his last 6 games, with him smashing the 100-yard mark in two of those games. For this game, Samuel has a 64.28 receiving yard projection according to the RotoGrinders projections. The Ravens are a tough defense, but the 49ers will have to rely on Samuel a lot to come away victorious tonight.
