PrizePicks Plays: Saints vs. Rams
- Cooper Kupp – More Than 73.5 Receiving Yards
- Taysom Hill – More Than 4 Fantasy Points
- Kyren Williams – More Than 18.5 Receiving Yards
Cooper Kupp – More Than 73.5 Receiving Yards
One specific area the Saints defense has struggled all season long has been defending slot receivers. There’s no better slot receiver in all of football than Cooper Kupp. It took a while for him to get things going again after returning from injury, but the Stafford-to-Kupp connection is starting to look back to normal. Cooper Kupp has now had at least 8 targets and a touchdown in three straight games while going well over 100 yards in the past two. Tonight, he only projects for just shy of 78 yards in the RotoGrinders projections, which isn’t as big of a differential as I usually look for, but I think Kupp will be far closer to a ceiling game than a median projection tonight.
Play: Kupp – More Than 73.5 Receiving Yards
Taysom Hill – More Than 4 Fantasy Points
This projection feels really weird from PrizePicks, as Taysom Hill as a plethora of routes to achieving at least 4 fantasy points. As someone who can throw, rush, or receive, it’s convenient that any type of touchdown will get him there tonight. Additionally, with his rushing and receiving ability, he could easily eclipse this total without finding the end zone. Taysom currently projects for more than double the PrizePicks number tonight in the RotoGrinders projections, and he has a 72% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks.
Play: Hill – More Than 4 Fantasy Points
Kyren Williams – More Than 18.5 Receiving Yards
Another area the Saints defense has struggled is defending opposing RBs this season. Not only do they give up a lot of rushing yards, but they’re also one of the worst in the entire league at defending pass-catching backs. Tonight, Kyren Williams has a RotoGrinders projection of more than 28 receiving yards with a 65.15% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. My only concern would be the Rams getting out to a big lead early in the game en route to them keeping the ball on the ground for the second half, but with a 4.5-point spread, the Saints should be able to keep this one close enough for Williams to succeed through the air.
