Today, we look at the PrizePicks board for Week 3 Monday Night Football, which presents us with a unique two-game slate. Let’s dive into what’s available on PrizePicks as we make some predictions based on projections, trends, and the market.
PrizePicks, one of the best DFS sites for NFL fantasy pick’em, lays out player projections for us, which we stack to create entries that pay real money. They prompt us with a statistical projection for a player, and we get to pick whether or not the player will get More or Less than the number offered.

JaMarr Chase MORE/LESS 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs (DEMON)
PrizePicks and RotoGrinders projections don’t agree so precisely so often, but the former has JaMarr Chase projected for 10 targets and the latter for 9.9. There’s little question that this will be a breakout game for Chase, who can be a touchdown machine when Joe Burrow is throwing him footballs. The Burrow-Chase combination is often good for big plays and the Commanders give up a ton of big plays. We just need one of those targets to get him into the end zone. RotoGrinders has Chase projected for 0.8 touchdowns. This is a high probability to score with DEMON juice in a game where Cincinnati has a 27.25 implied total.
- PLAY: Chase MORE Than 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs (DEMON)
James Cook MORE/LESS 24.5 Receiving Yards (DEMON)
The Bills don’t have a volume receiving option. The ball is getting spread around. Josh Allen should be checking down to Cook in space often enough for him to get up to 25+ receiving yards. Cook didn’t play much in the blowout over the Dolphins but played 61.3% of the snaps in their more competitive Week 1 game against the Cardinals. The Bills are sizeable 5.5-point favorites ove the Jaguars for Monday Night Football, which is just tight enough to keep the Bills throwing. Moreover, Allen won’t be put in a corner to force the ball way downfield. This is good for a high percentage of checkdowns to go to Cook when the coverage is sound. RotoGrinders has Cook projected for 28.2 receiving yards.
- PLAY: Cook MORE Than 24.5 Receiving Yards (DEMON)
Christian Kirk MORE/LESS 49.5 Receiving Yards (DEMON)
Christian Kirk isn’t sexy, but the Jaguars will be without Evan Engram, which should funnel more targets toward Kirk as the de facto #1 option. RotoGrinders has Kirk projected for 6.9 targets in this situation. He hasn’t been used for volume this season yet, but his 18.4 aDOT tells us that Trevor Lawrence is trying to get Kirk the ball downfield, which is great for us to get 50+ receiving yards. RotoGrinders has Kirk projected for 50.0 receiving yards, so this is a tight squeeze, but he has a high floor with a high ceiling in a game where the Jaguars should be throwing a lot.
