NFL PrizePicks: Bills vs. Bengals Player Predictions for Sunday Night Football

dalton-kincaid-800x480

It should be a primetime matchup to remember, as the Bills and Bengals square off on Sunday Night Football. Two of the top teams in the AFC go head to head and are both coming into the matchup with their offenses relatively healthy outside of Dawson Knox on the IR for Buffalo. That small change for the Bills has led to major changes in their offense which we can capitalize on at PrizePicks for our DFS Pick’em predictions.

PrizePicks Plays: Bills vs. Bengals

Khalil Shakir – 30.5 Receiving Yards

Although Shakir only projects for about 37 yards receiving in the RotoGrinders projections, I absolutely love him to smash his number on PrizePicks tonight. The Bills totally changed up their offensive scheme without Dawson Knox, running far fewer two tight end sets and a lot more with three receivers. This means far more opportunity for Shakir, who managed 6 receptions for 92 yards last game. While we don’t want to overreact to a single game, this was a clear change made by the Bills that I want to capitalize on before sites like PrizePicks catch on.

Play: Shakir – More Than 30.5 Receiving Yards

Dalton Kincaid – More Than 42.5 Receiving Yards

Another player who greatly benefited last game without Dawson Knox was Dalton Kincaid. As the only true healthy tight end on the roster, Kincaid dominated the last game with 5 receptions on 7 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Tonight he doesn’t project quite as well, but he’s still expected to exceed his total of 42.5 receiving yards according to the RotoGrinders projections. The Bills have been trying to get him more involved all season, and without Knox in the lineup, the opportunity is finally there to get that done.

Ja’Marr Chase – 90.5 Receiving Yards

At the beginning of the season, Chase was seriously worrying those who selected him in the first round of Fantasy Football drafts; he had back-to-back games under 40 yards receiving. Fast forward to Week 9, and Chase has reverted back to his electric self with three 100-yard games and four games with 12+ targets in his past five weeks. Tonight, he faces a Bills secondary that is hampered by injuries and has given up its fair share of receiving yards this season. Chase projects for just a smidge under 100 yards tonight according to the RotoGrinders projections, and we can expect him to get peppered with targets, especially if the Bengals fall behind to the Bills on Sunday Night Football.
