Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ Flowchart
Core Plays
The core plays are going to be my favorite plays this week as your base foundation to start your pick em’ entry to maximize. This week, there are two projections I love to get the Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ entry started.
Kenneth Walker IV Higher 78.5 Rushing Yards
The Seahawks are going to host division foes the Arizona Cardinals this weekend, and I am expecting a big day on the ground from Walker. The Arizona Cardinals come into this game with a rush defense that is well below league average. In fact, they allow opposing teams to rush for 133.3 yards per game, which ranks #24. The Cardinals rank #25 in opponent yards per rush attempt, and opposing teams are averaging close to 30 rush attempts per game.
Last season, in the two matchups against the Cardinals, Walker rushed for a total of 206 yards and went well over this projection against them. Lastly, the Cardinals have allowed an opposing running back to go higher than this projection in four straight games. I expect Walker to have another big week running the ball against the Cardinals.
Justin Herbert Higher 1.5 Passing TDs
Justin Herbert is going to be the best quarterback the Chiefs defense has faced this season, and historically, Herbert has been great at throwing the football against them. In fact, Herbert has faced the Chiefs six times in his career and has thrown for at least two touchdowns in five of those games, including five straight.
The Chiefs’ pass defense has allowed two of the last three quarterbacks they have faced to throw two touchdowns. In a game, we are expected to see points to be scored. I like Herbert to continue that streak.
3x Multiplier
Davante Adams Higher 70.5 Receiving Yards
Over the last four weeks, there has been at least one wide receiver who has been vocal about their lack of involvement in the offensive game plan. In the following week, all four of receivers accumulated at least 100 receiving yards in those games. Adams has been frustrated with his lack of usage in the offense, and I am expecting him to have a huge game against the Bears.
The Bears come into NFL Week 7 with one of the worst pass defenses in the entire league. In fact, the Bears allow 267.3 passing yards per game, which ranks #29. Additionally, the Bears allow 7.7 yards per pass attempt, which ranks 30th. Lastly, the Raiders will be without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. However, whether it’s O’Connell or Hoyer starting for the Raiders, I expect Adams to have a big day against the Bears pass defense. I love this as part of the Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ Contest!
Justin Herbert Higher 1.5 Passing TDs
Justin Herbert is going to be the best quarterback the Chiefs defense has faced this season, and historically, Herbert has been great at throwing the football against them. In fact, Herbert has faced the Chiefs six times in his career and has thrown for at least two touchdowns in five of those games, including five straight.
The Chiefs’ pass defense has allowed two of the last three quarterbacks they have faced to throw two touchdowns. In a game, we are expected to see points to be scored. I like Herbert to continue that streak.
5x Multiplier
Cooper Kupp Higher 91.5 Receiving Yards
Every since Cooper Kupp has returned to the field for the Rams, it seems like he didn’t miss a beat. In fact, in the first two games of the regular season, Kupp has at least 100+ receiving yards. Further, Kupp is averaging 10.5 targets per game. Additionally, the Steelers are struggling on defense. The Steelers rank #30 in the league in yards per completion allowed. I expect Kupp to be involved early and often. Give me the higher! I love Kupper to help in the Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ Contest!
Brandon Aiyuk Over 67.5 Receiving Yards
The 49ers are dealing with significant injuries on the offensive side of the football. The 49ers could possibly be without Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel against the Vikings. I believe this will be an opportunity for Aiyuk to fill the offensive void if McCaffrey and Samuel are not able to go. Thus far this season, Aiyuk leads the 49ers in targets and receiving yards. I love this Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ contest pick!
10x Multiplier
Aaron Jones Higher 2.5 Receptions
Aaron Jones returns to the field for the Packers offense this week against the Broncos, and he has a very favorable matchup. The Broncos are the worst defense thus far this season. They rank amongst the bottom in all rushing and passing statistics. Further, the Broncos have allowed every running back except for one to have at least three receptions. I expect Jones to be involved in the passing game this week against the Broncos! This is my favorite pick for the Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ Contest!
