Introduction
Monkey Knife Fight is one of the fastest-growing daily fantasy sites and offers a unique product that is a lot of fun. There are no salary caps and you do not have to compete against DFS pros. Instead, you simply find the combination of player props you are most confident in and pick more or less. Since each combination (two or more players) are playing in the same game, we can use correlation to our advantage. For example, if we know that one starting quarterback throws for more yards than projected, the opposing quarterback is more likely to throw for more yards also.
In this weekly article, we will count down the five best props of the week, saving the best for last.
Looking back at last week
Last Week:+11.5
Overall Season (+26 units)
We came just short of a perfect week for the second time in the last month. Only Stafford with a backdoor cover late kept us from hitting on all 10 props.
Hits
- We had over 13.5 fantasy points for Antonio Gibson and over 14.5 fantasy points for Amari Cooper. Both flew over those numbers.
- We had the unders on passing yards in the Giants-Bengals game. Both went safely under.
- We had unders on Josh Jacobs and Julio Jones before he scratched.
- We got ahead of the news in Denver by taking Michael Thomas (-17.5 receiving yards) over Tim Patrick and Taysom Hill over Lock.
Misses
- We had Deshaun Watson (-24.5) more passing yards than Matthew Stafford and Will Fuller (-3.5) more receiving yards than Brandin Cooks on Thanksgiving. Fuller crushed Cooks and Watson was crushing Stafford before a couple of garbage time drives brought Stafford to within 23 passing yards of Watson. Bad beat here.
Number 5: Passing Overs Atlanta
