Week 3 of Monday Night Football features two games for us to choose from for our NFL PrizePicks predictions. All of our picks hit on Sunday night and with double the games to choose from on Monday, there are plenty of DFS Pick’em plays worth exploiting on PrizePicks. The Buccaneers vs. Eagles starts things off followed by the Bengals trying to rebound from a slow start to the season at home against the Rams.

Top PrizePicks Plays — Monday Night Football
- Puka Nacua + Mike Evans – More Than 0.5 Rushing/Receiving TDs (Combo)
- Kyren Williams – More Than 23.5 Receiving Yards
- Rachaad White – More Than 17.5 Receiving Yards
Puka Nacua + Mike Evans – 0.5 Rushing/Receiving TDs (Combo)
This is a fun little combo opportunity on DFS Pick’em sites like PrizePicks. Nacua had the most yards of any Wide Receiver in the NFL through two weeks without a touchdown, while Mike Evans has been nearly targeted as much as Nacua and has TDs in both of his first two games. These have been two of the most active receivers in all of football so far this season and are both projected to be coming from behind as underdogs in this one. Nacua and Evans have combined for a whopping 53 (!!!) times between the two of them through the first two weeks of the season and we only need one of them to hit the endzone in Week 3 for our PrizePicks predictions to come true.
Play: Nacua + Evans – More Than 0.5 Rushing/Receiving TDs (Combo)
Kyren Williams – 23.5 Receiving Yards
Without Cam Akers taking up snaps, Kyren Williams had a ridiculous 10 targets for 6 receptions out of the backfield in Week 3. Regardless of if the Rams have to come from behind in this one, Williams should be heavily involved in the offense as the clear workhorse back for Los Angeles. Matthew Stafford has thrown the ball 93 times through 2 weeks looking like the younger version of himself, and Williams should have plenty of opportunity to catch passes in this matchup vs. the Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed opponent running backs to do almost whatever they want through two weeks of the season and Williams has looked electric in each of his matchups. Kyren is my favorite play on most DFS sites tonight, and that’s the case for PrizePicks as well.
Play: Williams – More Than 23.5 Receiving Yards
Rachaad White – 17.5 Receiving Yards
White was expected to be heavily involved in the passing game throughout the season, and although we didn’t see much of him catching passes in Week 1, he came out with 5 receptions for 30 yards last week against the Bears. No one expected Tampa Bay to play quite so well through two weeks of the season, however, they get a much tougher matchup this week against the Eagles. Philadelphia is a -4.5 point favorite against the Buccaneers and the clock may be striking midnight tonight for them, as I can’t imagine the magic continues against such a tough team. However, coming from behind means more passing. The Eagles are great at pressuring opposing Quarterbacks, and White should be primed for plenty of check-down receptions tonight. It’s not only one of my favorite PrizePicks predictions of the night, but the RotoGrinders NFL Fantasy Pick’em tool for PrizePicks also has this one at a 65% success rate.
