Thursday Night Football

Let’s get some Fantasy Challenge action tonight! A lot of the prop lines are in and around our projections total, so I don’t quite feel comfortable doing More or Less. That said, there are two guys I really like tonight in Michael Pittman and Jonathan Taylor. And while I’m not expecting Mike White to go ham again, Jamison Crowder should lead the team in targets again especially with Corey Davis doubtful. I’m choosing those three to go over 60.5 fantasy points for a 3X return. - Ben Kukainis

College Football Saturday

I’m not going too deep into MKF for college football Saturday, but stay tuned Saturday morning, as I may add 1 or 2 picks before lock (around 11:30am). For starters, however, I’m going with an easy one in the Michigan State v Purdue game. David Bell is coming off a season-high 14 targets and should have quite a day against a poor MSU pass defense. On the other side, Jayden Reed is having a fantastic season and quite honestly only needs 1 or 2 big plays to come through. With that in mind, I’m playing MKF’s More or Less 3X with David Bell MORE than 89.5 receiving yards, and Jayden Reed MORE than 74.5 receiving yards. - Ben Kukainis

Sunday Football

My first MKF play this weekend will be a Rapid Fire selection for the Bills vs. Jaguars game. MKF is giving Trevor Lawrence a 60.5 passing yard bonus vs. Josh Allen, but knowing Buffalo gives up the least amount of passing yards in the league and seeing the rookie struggle in the categories of completion %, passing yards, turnovers or a mix against Denver, Arizona and Seattle I am not so optimistic. Josh Allen on the other hand has been on fire, airing it out between 248-393 passing yards the last four games. I think it is realistic to project Lawrence for 220 ish passing yards and Allen for 290 ish so I am selecting Josh Allen more passing yards than Trevor Lawrence (60.5 yard bonus). The other selection is between who will have more yards between Zack Moss and Devin Singletary (7.5 yard bonus). Keeping this one simple - Moss has had 24 total touches (carries + receptions) to Singletary’s 15 the last two games. I feel like the trend will continue, especially if the Bills get themselves in the red zone where Moss is more productive. I am taking Zack Moss more rushing yards than Devin Singletary (7.5 yard bonus) to cap this Rapid Fire off.

The second MKF game I will play is the More or Less option for the Ravens vs. Vikings QB option for passing yards. The committee of RB’s for Baltimore may not give them enough leverage, which may lead to Jackson continuing to have big days through the air. Jackson has had passing days such as 257 (Week 7), 442 (Week 5), 316 (Week 4) and 287 (Week 3). Confident here in Lamar Jackson more than 245.5 passing yards. I believe Jackson having this sort of day will man Kirk Cousins having to match that through the air. Cousins has had three games over 300 passing yards this season, and may need to get close to that to attempt to down the Ravens in this one. Kirk Cousins more than 270.5 for the other half of this selection.

  • Nick Skrip

My MKF plays will focus on more or less. Like Nick, I agree with Kirk Cousins more than 270.5 passing yards in a projected shootout of 50.5- highest O/U for the 1 PMgames.

I also like Hustin Jefferson more than 75.5 rec yards. After a 2-21 on 4 targets, I think this is a bounce back game. His previous 4 games he’s had more than 75.5 and his targets have been 11, 7, 8 and 14

My final pick is Kamara less than 76.5 rush yards. He’s had less than that the last 3 games. With Mark Ingram back, I think he gets less rushing attempts (down from early this season) and Falcons may stack the box to have Semien beat them
