With only one week left in the NFL preseason, fantasy football draft season is officially upon us. However, if you are looking to keep the action going between your drafts, making some NFL picks over at PrizePicks will serve you nicely!
PrizePicks is a daily fantasy sports (DFS) site that presents you with player props across a variety of sports. Stringing together a few picks can payout up to 10 times the entry fee. Users are even able to combine picks across the different sports, but we will stick to NFL for this article. The only rule is you must make picks for players on at least two different teams.
Here are three great season-long NFL picks for you to lock in right now! But I must warn you — you should only place the following fantasy football picks if you like money.
It is important to note that, much like odds that update throughout the day, these props at PrizePicks are subject to change. So, if you like these NFL picks below, it is wise to jump on them quickly.
Fantasy Football PrizePicks Props: NFL Passing Picks
When discussing fantasy football props for the upcoming season, it is important to remember that the league added a 17th game to the schedule.
Russell Wilson: Over 33.5 Passing TDs
Health has not been a concern for Russell Wilson, who has never missed a game in his career, so he should take full advantage of this season’s 17th game. He also has passed for at least 34 touchdowns in three of the past four seasons. With a large part of this offseason’s dispute revolving around restricting Wilson and the passing offense, the Seahawks should let him play free like they did during the early part of last season. If that is the case, it will be another easy clear for this prop.
Derek Carr: Over 4050.5 Passing Yards
This pick with Derek Carr is an easy one. There is not a single good reason for the prop to be set this low. He passed for 4,103 yards last season and 4,054 yards the year prior. Plus, he only narrowly failed to pass over this in 2018, as he finished with 4,049 yards. The receiving corps adds John Brown, Bryan Edwards is back healthy, and both Darren Waller and Henry Ruggs have another year of growth under their belts. All of this is to say Carr has an improved receiving corps, and he will clear this fantasy football prop.
Ryan Fitzpatrick: Over 3900.5 Passing Yards
This prop for Ryan Fitzpatrick is essentially picking if he will be the starter the entire season or not. He gives Washington the best chance to win, and it is not close. This, combined with a good receiving corps that includes backfield receiving weapons, should lead to high passing totals. If he is the starter for Washington this entire season, this will be one of the easiest future props of the season. There’s a chance he clears this with a month remaining in the season.
Locking in these three fantasy football NFL picks earns you five times your entry fee! If you’re feeling less bullish, you can select to lock them in using “Flex Play,” which means you only need to get two of the three picks correct to cash. Of course, this only pays out 2.25x if all three are correct or 1.25x if two hit. Personally, I will hedge by locking in these three picks for both the Power Play and Flex Play, giving myself a safety net in case of an injury.
