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
Full Season: +42 units
During the Conference Championship Games, we suffered our worst beat of the season as a play went from winner to loser in unbelievable fashion. Let's review.
Hits
- Our best call of the week was one we called "Under Jones," taking the under on rushing yards for Aaron Jones (76.5) and Ronald Jones II (61.5). They finished with 27 and 16 rushing yards, respectively.
Misses
- We had a miss worthy of Scott Van Pelt's Bad Beats segment. Our pick was Aaron Rodgers over 22.5 fantasy points and Tom Brady over 20.5 fantasy points. Rodgers got there (24.8) but Brady came up just short (20.1). However, it was the way Brady came up just short that made this one frustrating. Just one minute after halftime, he threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Cam Brate, his third touchdown pass of the day. Along with his yardage total, he had already hit the over on his fantasy points at 20.6. However, it was all downhill from there. Brady threw interceptions (-1 fantasy point each) on each of the Buccaneers' next three possessions, dropping him back below 20.5 fantasy points and he came up just short on the game. He somehow managed to score negative fantasy points over the final 28 minutes of the contest.
- We hit only one side of our Travis Kelce/John Brown pick. Kelce went way over 20.5 fantasy points (36.8) but Brown had a quiet day and went under 11.5 fantasy points.
- We were on the wrong side of a Buffalo passing-game stack with Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs coming up short against Patrick Mahomes II and Kelce.
- Our longshot 5-prop parlay was one decent completion from Allen to Diggs away from hitting. All three of our Kansas City picks hit but Allen and Diggs both came up about 20 yards short.
