PrizePicks Plays: Packers vs. Vikings
- Aaron Jones – More Than 16.5 Receiving Yards
- Romeo Doubs – More Than 3.5 Receptions
- Greg Joseph – More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Aaron Jones – 16.5 Receiving Yards
The Vikings blitz more than any other team in football, so it could be a big day for Aaron Jones out of the backfield. Some quick outlet and screen passes will be necessary for Jordan Love to keep himself off the ground tonight. Jones projects for 23 receiving yards in the RotoGrinders projections, a nice differential from his number on PrizePicks. He has a 64.5% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks and is my favorite DFS Pick’em prediction of the night.
Play: Jones – More Than 16.5 Receiving Yards
Romeo Doubs – 3.5 Receptions
Without Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the undisputed top-two targets for Jordan Love in the receiving corps. Tonight, he not only projects for 4.23 receptions in the RotoGrinders projections but also has at least 4 receptions in 4 of his past 6 games. The Packers are slight underdogs in this one, so there’s at least a favorable chance of a positive game script for Doubs. He has a 62.74% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks and slots just behind Aaron Jones among my favorite NFL PrizePicks predictions tonight.
Play: Doubs – More Than 3.5 Receptions
Greg Joseph – 7.5 Fantasy Points
It’s never overly exciting selecting a kicker on PrizePicks, but it does make it much more fun when teams have to settle for field goals. Joseph has a higher projection than we’re used to seeing for kickers, as the RotoGrinders projections expect him to have a median score of 9.39 fantasy points tonight. Divisional games typically are lower-scoring and competitive, so Joseph is likely to be heavily involved, as points may come at a premium.
Play: Joseph – More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Additional PrizePicks Predictions:
Jordan Love – More Than 8.5 Rushing Yards
Justin Jefferson – More Than 82.5 Receiving Yards
Jayden Reed – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Demon Payout Boost)
