NFL PrizePicks: Raiders vs. Steelers Player Predictions for SNF
It’s Week 3 of the NFL after a wild first set of games, with the Dolphins putting up a whopping 70 points. The Sunday Night Football matchup between the Raiders vs. Steelers likely won’t be quite that high scoring, but there are still plenty of NFL PrizePicks predictions we can utilize to make some extra cash during the game.

PrizePicks Plays: Raiders vs. Steelers
- Jaylen Warren – More Than 15.5 Receiving Yards
- George Pickens – More Than 52.5 Receiving Yards
- Josh Jacobs – More Than 15.5 Receiving Yards
Jaylen Warren – 15.5 Receiving Yards
Warren has looked like the better back versus Najee Harris in the Pittsburgh backfield. It’s expected the Steelers are supposed to continue to utilize Warren more, so I want to take advantage while the number is still low. Warren has totaled 13 targets in his first two games, having 9 catches and should only become more involved as the season progresses. He’s a dynamic pass-catching back and could easily eclipse this total with one screen pass. Warren is my favorite DFS play on the slate, I love choosing more than on his rushing projection, but his more than receiving yards on PrizePicks is the juiciest of them all.
Play: Warren- More Than 15.5 Receiving Yards
George Pickens – 52.5 Receiving Yards
I feel like I could almost just copy and paste my blurb from last week’s PrizePicks predictions article when the Steelers were once again playing without Diontae Johnson. Pickens is a heavily-targeted deep threat and is undoubtedly Kenny Pickett’s top target with DJ injured. The Steelers wideout was targeted a whopping 10 times in his last matchup without Johnson, and although he only caught four balls, he went for 127 yards and a touchdown. He’s an electric receiver who will be heavily targeted throughout the game, and one deep ball makes this one an easy win. The RotoGrinders projections have Pickens easily eclipsing this mark, so sign me up.
Play: Pickens – More Than 52.5 Receiving Yards
Josh Jacobs – 15.5 Receiving Yards
It’s a receiving sweep, as Josh Jacobs makes a perfect run back for a card that already features Warren and Pickens. Although the Steelers have been terrible at stopping the run through two weeks, it’s Jacobs’ receiving number I actually prefer over his rushing number for Sunday Night Football’s PrizePicks predictions. He’s another case of the RotoGrinders projections having this one as an easy pick for more than the number listed, and he’s also exceeded this number in both games so far this season. If this one feels uncomfortable, Jacob’s 0.5 TD number is a very suitable pivot instead. I don’t have much interest in Raiders not named Davante Adams or Josh Jacobs tonight, and both Jacobs’ receiving yard number and anytime touchdown pick are a great way to complete a DFS Pick’em prediction card.
