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. With the Holiday week, we are going to do things just a little bit differently. We are going to give our two favorite Thanksgiving Day props on Thursday morning and then add the top three weekend plays on Friday.
Week 12 Review
- Last Week: -5
- Season Total: EVEN
Thanksgiving week was rough. We came close to hitting a couple of these but 0-for-5 happened instead.
Week 12 Picks
- 5: Zeke Eats (-1): Elliott got into the end zone once but his injury was more serious than the reporting indicated.
- 4: Bills Dominate on Thursday Night: (-1) We had the right read on this. The Bills did dominate and Trevor Siemian did not come close to hitting his passing over. Unfortunately, Josh Allen came up 5.5 yards short on his passing prop, despite the dominant performance.
- 3: Bengals Game TDs: (-1) We have been riding Joe Mixon’s hot streak and he did score multiple touchdowns for the third-straight week, but both Najee Harris and JaMarr Chase were held out of the end zone.
- 2: Points in Indy: (-1) We got the points. Half of this call looks great in hindsight. Leonard Fournette went way over his 15.5 fantasy point projection. Despite Carson Wentz throwing for 306 yards and 3 touchdowns and targeting Michael Pittman 10 times, Pittman still came in below the 15.5 points we needed.
- 1: Scary Fades (-1) We had the wrong read on this one. The game plans were more pass-heavy than expected.
5: Bengals-Chargers TD Prop
