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
Eno Benjamin MORE than 35.5 rushing yards
Chris Olave MORE than 65.5 receiving yards
- Eno Benjamin was not efficient with his carries in his first week as a starter and managed just 37 rushing but the usage was fantastic. He played 87% of the snaps and had 15 carries. With a similar workload likely assuming James Conner is again out, he is very likely to again rush for more than 35.5 yards.
Tough week last week as a starter but I’m back in on Eno Benjamin as a top 20 play this week if James Conner can’t go. Via the #FFHappyHour podcast @peacock @NBCSEdgeFB @croucherJD pic.twitter.com/hR7XLIRzsA

- New Orleans has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards (603) to opposing running backs.
- The Saints are projected for well over 200 passing yards in this matchup and it is hard to see how the team gets there without Olave having another big game.
- Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry are still out, making Olave the clear focus of the passing game.
- Olave topped 65.5 receiving yards in Week 2 (80 yards), Week 3 (147 yards), and Week 4 (67 yards), and was well on his way again in Week 5 (54 yards) before suffering a concussion midway through the game.
- Despite missing a game and a half with a concussion, Olave still easily leads the NFL in air yards with 744. The next closest is Davante Adams (592).
