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
Christian Kirk MORE than 13.5 fantasy points
Zonovan Knight LESS than 12.5 fantasy points
- The Jaguars have come from out of nowhere to put themselves right into the middle of the playoff picture. Current odds have Jacksonville with a 54% chance of winning the AFC South. That number would leap to 67% with a win over the Jets. The resurgence has been led by Trevor Lawrence and the passing game.
- Since Week 9, Lawrence has a 111.2 QB rating. He has averaged 280 yards and 2.3 passing touchdowns per game over the recent six-game stretch.

- Christian Kirk is the best way to get exposure to the Jaguars passing attack this week. The Jets' stellar young cornerback duo of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed play outside and rarely travel into the slot. Kirk has played 76.5% of his snaps from the slot, while Zay Jones and Marvin Jones primarily play outside.
- Over the last six weeks, Kirk has averaged 6.3 catches for 78 yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game (17.1 PPG). He has scored at least 15 fantasy points in five of his last eight games.
- While Zonovan Knight has provided a spark to the Jets offense, he could face tough sledding in Week 16. The Jaguars are allowing just 89.2 rushing yards per game to opposing backs.
- Knight struggled last week in his first game with Zach Wilson, rushing for just 23 yards on 13 carries. He played 48% of the snaps in the game and has played more than half the snaps just once this season.
