PrizePicks, one of the best DFS sites for NFL 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 line offered.

Vikings vs. Packers PrizePicks Predictions

Josh Jacobs MORE/LESS 69.5 Rush Yards (DEMON)

With Jordan Love probably back in Week 4 and the Packers favored at home, we have to feel good about the Green Bay offense running through Josh Jacobs, who saw 19 opportunities in Week 1’s competitive game in Philly and a whopping 32 in Week 2’s competitive game hosting the Colts. The Packers are only slight favorites, so we shouldn’t expect Jacobs to be removed from the game plan. RotoGrinders has Jacobs projected for 81.03 rushing yards in 18.28 attempts, making this DEMON boost really juicy. We saw Jacobs run for 84 yards in Week 1 and 151 in Week 2, so it’s safe safe to say that this is a play with a high floor and ceiling. It is probably the best PrizePicks DEMON to attack on the slate.

Jaguars vs. Texans PrizePicks Predictions

C.J. Stroud MORE/LESS 299.5 Pass Yards (DEMON)

Whenever we need 300+ passing yards, it’s a tight squeeze, especially given the climate of the NFL in 2024. But the Jaguars are really bad. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 338 on them in Week 1, and Josh Allen threw for 263 despite just 30 attempts in Week 3. These Texans might not be able to run the ball, so we should love the volume for C.J. Stroud in Week 4. RotoGrinders has him projected to throw 35.21 times for only 285.8 yards; and this seems conservative.

Stroud has more than 35 pass attempts 7 times through 18 NFL games, eclipsing 300 passing yards 5 of those times, including games of 470, 384, 356, and 336 passing yards. The ceiling is enormous for a prolific passer like Stroud.

Bengals vs. Panthers PrizePicks Predictions

Chuba Hubbard MORE/LESS 24.5 Receiving Yards (DEMON)

Chuba Hubbard is a noticeable part of the Panthers’ passing attack. After seeing no targets while getting blown out soon after the snap in New Orleans in Week 1, Hubbard saw 5 targets in each of the next 2 weeks, averaging 7.4 yards per reception. With Andy Dalton under center in Week 3, Hubbard caught all 5 of his targets for 55 receiving yards. In Week 4 with Dalton starting again, he gets to face a Bengals offense that hasn’t stopped much of anything all season yet. Without Adam Thielen, Hubbard could emerge as Dalton’s second receiving option after Diontae Johnson for even more volume. RotoGrinders conservatively has Hubbard projected for 28.5 receiving yards on the day, so 24.5 is a completely reasonable DEMON to attack.
