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.
Devin Singletary Higher Than 63.5 Rushing Yards
Another player who is looking to unlock a contract incentive bonus is Devin Singletary of the Houston Texans. Singletary needs 84 total yards for 1200 total yards on the season to unlock a contract bonus as well. The Texans will be taking on the Colts in what is essentially a playoff game. The winner of this game will be headed to the playoffs. Further, if the Jaguars lose on Sunday against the Titans, the winner of Texans/Colts will be the division champion.
James Cook Higher Than 21.5 Receiving Yards
In a winner-takes-all game for the AFC East division, I am expecting James Cook to have a big game out of the backfield catching the football. In three career games against the Dolphins, Cook has exceeded this projection handedly in two of the three games. In the earlier matchup this season, Cook had 48 receiving yards game.
Furthermore, since Week 13, the Dolphins have allowed the fourth most receiving yards (54) to the running back position. I love this projection for the NFL Week 18 Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ entry!
3x Multiplier
Mike Evans Higher Than 4.5 Receptions
Another season and another 1,000 receiving yards season for Mike Evans. This one was simple for me. Evans dominated against the Panthers. In fact, Evans has at least 5 receptions against the Panthers in seven straight games. Further, Evans has been double-digit targets in six of the seven games. I expect another dominating performance from Evans.
Justin Fields Higher Than 56.5 Rushing Yards
In what could be Fields’ final game as the quarterback for the Bears, I am expecting a big game for Fields, especially on the ground. This will be Fields’ 5th career game against the Packers, and he has gone higher than this projection in three out of the five games.
Additionally, in the earlier matchup this season against the Packers, Fields rushed for 59 yards on 9 attempts. I expect another big night on the ground from Fields and make a statement in this game. I love this projection for the NFL Week 18 Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ entry!
5X Multiplier
De’Andre Hopkins Higher Than 63.5 Receiving Yards
DeAndre Hopkins has a couple of contract incentives he can achieve this Sunday against the Jaguars. First, Hopkins needs seven receptions to unlock $250,000 and 49 receiving yards for $1 million!
The Titans will look to play spoiler against the Jaguars, who have been one of the tougher rush defenses this season. As a result, I expect Tannehill to look for the most reliable wide receiver on the Titans, Hopkins, to have a big game.
C.J. Stroud Higher Than 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Front-runner for the NFL Rookie of the Year Award, Stroud returned last week for the Texans. As I mentioned above, the Texans are in a pivotal game against the Colts for a postseason berth.
This fantasy projection seems a bit conservative to me. Despite not having two or more passing touchdowns in his last three games, I believe Stroud will find success in this game against the Colts. In Week 2, Stroud threw for 384 yards with two passing touchdowns. I love this projection for the NFL Week 18 Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ entry!
10x Multiplier
Davante Adams Higher Than .5 Touchdown
In a game, the Raiders are going all out for to end the season and to make Antonio Pierce the head coach of the future for the Raiders, I am expecting Adams to find the end zone.
Last week, Adams was targeted 21 times. As a result, Adams ended the game with 13 receptions and, more importantly, two touchdown catches. I expect the targets to continue to be there for Adams and find the endzone again in the last game of the regular season. I love this projection for the NFL Week 18 Underdog Fantasy Pick Em’ entry!
