PrizePicks Plays: Cowboys vs. 49ers
- Brandon Aiyuk – More Than 61.5 Receiving Yards
- Christian McCaffrey – More Than 32.5 Receiving Yards
- CeeDee Lamb – More Than 66.5 Receiving Yards
Brandon Aiyuk – 61.5 Receiving Yards
The Cowboys play among the most man coverage in the NFL, and Brandon Aiyuk is the 49ers’ most productive option in that type of defense. The RotoGrinders projections have Aiyuk surpassing this mark by over 16 yards. He’s gone well over 100 yards in two of his three games this season, and despite what looks on paper like a difficult matchup, it’s actually a phenomenal position for Aiyuk due to his skill against the Cowboys’ specific defensive style.
Play: Aiyuk – More Than 61.5 Receiving Yards
Christian McCaffrey – 32.5 Receiving Yards
A common trend in tonight’s PrizePicks predictions, Christian McCaffrey also projects to surpass his receiving yard total significantly in the RotoGrinders player projections. Additionally, the play has a nearly 64% success rate in the RotoGrinders Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. McCaffrey has gone over this total in back-to-back games and received a whopping 8 targets last week. He’s even more involved in the offense without Elijah Mitchell, and the 49ers will have to ride him once again to get past the Cowboys’ stout defense.
Play: McCaffrey – 32.5 More Than Receiving Yards
CeeDee Lamb – 66.5 Receiving Yards
I expect the Cowboys to be playing from behind in this one, leaving a perfect game script for Lamb to rack up receiving yards in the second half. He completes the trifecta, as he also has a 10+ yard receiving number in the RotoGrinders projections compared to his DFS Pick’em number. He’s been scripted out of a couple of games this year, as the Cowboys have had huge leads, but that shouldn’t be the case against an incredibly tough 49ers team that has still allowed some big games to top receivers early this season.
