Monkey Knife Fight is one of the fastest-growing daily fantasy sites. It offers a fun and unique product. There are no salary caps and no need for lineup builders. 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) plays in the same game, you can use correlation to your advantage. For example, if you assume that one starting quarterback throws for more yards than projected, the opposing quarterback also is more likely to throw for more yards. This weekly article will count down the five best props of the week.
5: Thursday Night Special
Carson Wentz MORE than 225.5 passing yards
Justin Fields MORE than 165.5 passing yards
- We are taking advantage of the Thursday night boosted odds (3.5X instead of 3X) and going with a correlation play based upon both quarterbacks having better than expected passing nights.
- There is a narrative element here for Fields and the Bears coaching staff. Fields personally and the passing scheme generally have been under intense scrutiny. Playing in primetime is a major opportunity to change the narrative with a strong passing performance, especially considering how low the bar of expectations (and the passing prop) are.
- Fields is coming off of a strong performance against the Vikings last week. He ranked 13th in passing EPA (1.21) and 11th in points earned per play (.196).

- Washington has given up the 13th-most passing yards this season (255 per game).
- Wentz’s production has been feast or famine this season. He struggled against two of the league’s hottest defenses (Dallas and Philadelphia). However, in his other three games, he has thrown for 313, 337, and 359 passing yards.
