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: -1 unit
Overall Season (+34 units)
We had a losing week, hitting one of our five parlays. We came within 0.5 Kenyan Drake fantasy points of another winning week.
Hits
- We have been riding David Montgomery lately and he rewarded us again, hitting the over on his rushing yardage prop (74.5). An early week lock in on the under for Gardner Minshew paid off, though it wouldn’t have mattered as Mike Glennon went well under the passing total as well.
Misses
- We were on the wrong side of the passing over/unders in the Friday night Saints game. Was on the right track in thinking Saints would be run-heavy, but Brees still hit his yardage over.
- Noted that over 11.5 fantasy points for Jeffery Wilson was the favorite prop of the week and he absolutely smashed it but had to parlay it with Kenyan Drake and took the under on 12.5 fantasy points. He ended up with 13, so a narrow loss.
- Had a split on the Dolphins/Raiders game. Took the over on 11.5 fantasy points for Nelson Agholor (who scored 26.5) but underestimated how quickly Myles Gaskin would take back the lead role from Salvon Ahmed.
- We split on Sunday night. Aaron Jones went over 80.5 rushing yards but we missed on Derrick Henry, whose 98 rushing yards came up short of his 115.5-yard over/under.
