Underdog Pick'em is a thrilling daily fantasy game where you predict whether a player will go higher or lower than their projected stats across categories like touchdowns, yards, or fantasy points. Get all your selections right, and you can win big!
How It Works
To play, simply pick at least two props from two different teams. You can choose player stats like touchdowns, rushing yards, or even fantasy points, and predict whether they will go higher or lower than the projected numbers.
Payouts
Underdog Fantasy offers a payout structure that rewards you based on the number of correct selections:
- Two picks: 3x your entry
- Three picks: 6x your entry
- Four picks: 10x your entry
- Five picks: 20x your entry
This article highlights a few of my favorite player props for Week 7, including different payout options. Whether you're aiming for a simple two-pick win or stacking five props, I've got you covered.
London Game Stack (4.7X)
The Jaguars-Patriots matchup features some of the most attractive props of the week. Jacksonville's defense has struggled mightily against the pass, and Drake Maye has provided a spark to the Patriots' offense since entering the starting lineup. If Maye exceeds this modest passing yardage total, his top target, Demario Douglas, should also exceed expectations. Meanwhile, Evan Engram remains the most reliable target for Trevor Lawrence in the Jaguars’ offense. Last week, Brian Thomas Jr.. and Gabe Davis had key drops, but Engram caught all 12 of his targets, making him a safe bet.
Drake Maye – Higher than 196.5 Passing Yards
While Maye is a gunslinger who may make mistakes (such as the two interceptions last week), he's capable of racking up significant yardage totals. He threw for 243 yards on just 33 attempts in his NFL debut last week.
This week, he faces a Jaguars defense that has allowed a league-high 1,660 passing yards this season. This is a dream matchup for the rookie quarterback.
Demario Douglas – Higher than 45.5 Receiving Yards
Over the past two weeks, Douglas has emerged as Maye's top target, averaging 80.5 receiving yards per game. He has an obvious connection with Maye, who said, “You can’t guard him in a phone booth. He’s tough to guard in man coverage.”
The Jaguars have struggled against slot receivers, giving up 69+ receiving yards to eight different wide receivers this season. Douglas, a speedy slot receiver, fits the mold of receivers who have hurt Jacksonville’s defense this year.
Jacksonville has played man coverage at the third-highest rate in the league this season, while allowing a league-worst 128.3 passer rating to receivers in the slot. This sets up perfectly for Douglas to exploit the Jaguars' defense.

Evan Engram – Higher than 44.5 Receiving Yards
Last week, I missed by assuming Engram would be eased back into action after a month-long absence. Instead, he was instantly Trevor Lawrence's favorite target, catching 10 passes for 102 yards.
Engram has topped 45 receiving yards in 13 of his last 19 games, and the Patriots have allowed big games to opposing tight ends, including 5-62 to Jonnu Smith and 5-93 to Tyler Conklin.
