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
Tom Brady MORE than 284.5 passing yards
Lamar Jackson MORE than 209.5 passing yards
- We start with a positive correlation play on Thursday night. The angle here is the idea that the greatest quarterback of all time and one of the best young quarterbacks in the game bring out the best in each other, and both top relatively modest passing totals.
- Over the last four weeks, Brady has averaged 317.3 passing yards per game and thrown for more than 285 yards in all but one of those games.
- The Ravens have given up the fourth-most passing yards (280 per game) this season, which bodes well for Brady.
- Leonard Fournette has been one of the least efficient running backs in the league (-66.3 rushing yards above expected), and the Tampa Bay offense has been getting almost nothing on early-down rushes. This led to a testy exchange with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich when questioned by a reporter about the abysmal numbers on first down runs. Expect this offense to look different in the coming weeks as pressure builds on Leftwich.
Tom Brady ended his brief retirement and the #GoBucs went all in on the roster and salary cap in 2022. The result has been an atrocious offense, and coordinator Byron Leftwich is looking more and more like the fall guy. https://t.co/8LWPlGluiK

- The numbers all suggest the Buccaneers should be more aggressive throwing the ball on early downs and we could see the team lean more heavily on Brady’s arm.
- Lamar Jackson has topped 210 passing yards in four of seven games.
- The Buccaneers allowed a 126.5 passer rating to P.J. Walker last week on over 8.0 yards per attempt.
