NFL PrizePicks: Packers vs. Raiders Player Predictions for Monday Night Football
It’s another mediocre matchup on Monday Night Football featuring the Packers and Raiders in Las Vegas. Aaron Jones is unlikely to play for Green Bay, however, AJ Dillon has struggled in matchups so far this season without his partner in the backfield. While this is the best matchup the Packers have had yet this season, it’s the passing game I’m going to be targeting on PrizePicks, as the best DFS Pick’em predictions fall in the receiving yard department.

PrizePicks Plays: Packers vs. Raiders
- Jakobi Meyers – More Than 52.5 Receiving Yards
- Josh Jacobs – More Than 22.5 Receiving Yards
- Christian Watson – More Than 48.5 Receiving Yards
Jakobi Meyers – 52.5 Receiving Yards
With Jimmy Garoppolo in the lineup, Jakobi Meyers has been incredibly productive this season. He has surpassed 80 receiving yards in both of the games, while also getting double-digit targets each time. Davante Adams is reportedly a bit banged up for this one, leaving Meyers potentially being even more involved than expected. Regardless, even with a fully healthy Adams, the RotoGrinders Premium Projections also have Meyers for nearly 60 yards receiving, which is well above the PrizePicks number. This is my favorite play for Monday Night Football on PrizePicks.
Play: Meyers – More Than 52.5 Receiving Yards
Josh Jacobs – 22.5 Receiving Yards
While we likely can’t expect the same 11-target game Josh Jacobs had with Aidan O’Connell under center, Jacobs has still been a proficient receiving target early in the season. He has only been under this number once this season, and he still received 18 yards on 3 catches in that game. Green Bay has given up among the most yards and receptions to RBs so far this season, and Jacobs should be in a prime position in a close game against the Packers. This number is simply too low, as it’s closer to reflecting his floor than his ceiling. RotoGrinders currently projects Jacobs for over 30 yards receiving, making me even more confident in taking this play on PrizePicks.
Play: Jacobs – More Than 22.5 Receiving Yards
Christian Watson – 48.5 Receiving Yards
Christian Watson returned from injury last week and played limited snaps in their primetime matchup on Thursday Night Football, but he should be a full go after 10 days off. While he wasn’t on the field all that often, he still received 4 targets, pulling down 2 of them for 25 yards. Watson is the Packers’ top receiver, and without a snap count, should be in line for 7-9 targets in this spot. This number is far too low for a player of his caliber at full strength, especially when the Packers are underdogs in this spot, likely leading to a passing-heavy game-script.
