PrizePicks NFL Player Props | Week 6
October 16, 2021 by Dylan Bell
Welcome to the NFL Week 6 PrizePicks player props article! Every week throughout the season I will be going over a few of my favorite props to play on PrizePicks. Make sure you never miss the article by joining our free DFS newsletter!
Week 6 Props:
Taylor Heinicke o260.5 passing yards
Analysis: This is the perfect game and game script for Heinicke to get the over on 260.5 passing yards. The game has a projected total of 54.5 with Washington having an implied team total of 23.75, not bad at all. The Chiefs are 7 point favorites. Washington should have to pass a lot in this game if they want to keep up with KC. The Chiefs secondary has been on of the worst in the league this season. I love the over for Heinicke here.
Taylor Heinicke to @TheTerry_25. Or TNT for short.

Sam Darnold o256.5 passing yards
Analysis: Sam Darnold has gone over this prop in 4 out of 5 games so far this season, including 3 games with 300+ passing yards. He’s playing solid football so far this season. Coming off of an upset loss to the Eagles where he threw 3 INT’s, I expect Darnold to have a good game against the Vikings, who’s defense doesn’t scare me at all.
It's Sam Darnold's world. #KeepPounding

Justin Herbert o288.5 passing yards
Analysis: I’m expecting this game to be a high scoring shootout. Herbert has thrown 337+ yards in 3 out of 5 games this season. He’s an early MVP candidate. The Ravens pass defense has not been great this season. They’ve allowed 400+ passing yards twice already and the only QB’s they’ve held in check have been Broncos backup Drew Lock and Jared Goff.
JUSTIN HERBERT AND MIKE WILLIAMS DID IT AGAIN! #BoltUp

Lamar Jackson o230.5 passing yards
Analysis: This one feels super safe. Lamar Jackson has went over this prop in every single game this season. He’s throwing the ball more and more and has really developed as a passer. I’ve already mentioned I expect this game to be a high scoring shootout so I’m loving the over on 230.5 passing yards for Lamar.
The Lamar Jackson to Mark Andrews connection is STRONG.

Dak Prescott u273.5 passing yards
Analysis: The Patriots have been a tough matchup for Qb’s and a great matchup for RB’s. The Cowboys have already been passing less and less and running more and more. I don’t expect the Cowboys to struggle too much with the Pats in this one. I think we see a lot of work for Zeke and Pollard and less passing from Dak. Dak has only went over this prop in 2 ouf of 5 games this season.

Ezekiel Elliott o75.5 rushing yards
Analysis: While we’re talking about Zeke, I love the over on 75.5 rushing yards this week. I’ve already mentioned that the Patriots have not been great against the run. Zeke has went over this prop pretty easily in 3 straight games. He has 20+ carries over the last 2 games and he’s averaging 5.2, 7.2 and 5.6 yards per carry over the last 3 games. I love the over here.

Marquise Brown o60.5 receiving yards
Analysis: Hollywood has gone over this prop in 4 out of 5 games this season. He’s playing a lot better and more consistent this season. I’ve already mentioned I’m expecting this game to be a shootout with lots of fantasy production so it’s hard not to love the over here for Hollywood Brown.
LAMAR TO HOLLYWOOD TO WIN IT IN OT 🙌
