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) 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: + 7.5 units
Overall Season (+15.5 units)
Hits
- We have been running hot with Thursday night Quarterback passing yard unders. Russell Wilson came up 120.5 yards short of his over/under. Kyler Murray was closer but still came in 22.5 yards under.
- We also hit on both the passing unders for Lions and Panthers. Matthew Stafford went under by nearly 100 yards.
- Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. We hit our over on Miles Sanders rushing yards (65.5) by half a yard (66). We also hit our over on Baker Mayfield’s passing yards (202.5) by a hair (204).
Misses
- We only hit one half of our Dolphins stack. DeVante Parker had three more receptions than Jerry Jeudy. But Tua Tagaovailoa did not keep up with Drew Lock as a disastrous performance led to him getting benched mid-game.
- The Monday Night game was rough. Robert Woods easily hit the over on his fantasy points while Ronald Jones II went under. We were on the opposite side of both.
