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) is 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.
Week 6 Review
- Last Week: +2
- Season Total: (-3)
We had another strong week and it could have been even better. In fact, one more reception for both Davante Adams and JaMarr Chase would have put us on a +8 week.
- 5, Thursday Night Shot: (-1) We swung for the fences and came up short. This was our only bad pick of the week based upon how the games played out. In particular, we were way off on the amount of success Jalen Hurts would have against this Buccaneers defense.
- 4, Under in NYC: (+2) Stafford came in over 50 yards below his passing prop (he threw for 251) with the game script playing out as predicted and the Rams able to take their foot off of the gas in the first half. Daniel Jones (242 passing yards) also came in under.
- 3, Betting on Youth: (-1) We crushed one half of this by taking Khalil Herbert to rush for more than 35.5 rushing yards (he had 97) but came up just short of the 99.5 yards needed on the other side with Davante Adams (89 receiving yards).
- 2, Young Stars: (-1) We got 17.3 fantasy points from D’Andre Swift, more than we needed but JaMarr Chase (4-97-0) came up just short of the 16.5 points we needed to hit both sides of this prop.
- 1, Bills-Titans Superstars: (+3) As last week’s article mentioned, whenever you have a 4X chance on 2.5+ touchdowns and one of the options is Derrick Henry, you have to take it. He got us there by himself with three. Stefon Diggs gave us a fourth touchdown from our trio.
