Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 5
A month ago, the Denver Broncos hosting the Indianapolis Colts would have been a potential playoff preview. Now, we have a matchup between two disappointing teams that are scuffling offensively. Still, that doesn’t mean there are major fantasy ramifications to
Denver’s offense did show some signs of life last week but now has to move forward without star running back Javonte Williams. How will Nathaniel Hackett adjust his already scrutinized play-calling without Williams?
The Colts will also be without their star running back, which certainly won’t help an offense that has struggled and is turning the ball over way too often.
The Broncos are 3.5-point favorites and the over/under stands at 42.5 points.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Indianapolis Colts | 19 | 10 | 27 | 24 | 32 |
| Denver Broncos | 21 | 18 | 18 | 16 | 30 |
It’s hard to believe that these are two of the three lowest-scoring teams in football. Indy’s struggles start up front, as the Colts’ offensive line ranks 27th in sack percentage. They haven’t opened up any holes for the ground game and rank 30th in fourth-down conversion.

Week 4: Def vs WR Matchups Report
This Fantasy Football tool shows you how well (or how poorly) each pass defense is performing against each position this NFL season.
RECEIVING YARDS ALLOWED BY POSITION
This new featured tool displays how each defense performs against their opponent’s receiving yardage gained by position.
So for example, if you see a team is ranked 1st vs. WR #1, that defense is currently the best at limiting their opponent’s WR #1 yardage compared to other teams. Or if you see a team is ranked 32nd against WR #2, that defense is the worst against WR #2’s or more accurately, the defense is allowing the most yards to WR #2’s compared to the other teams in the league. This a great tool to find and exploit useful matchups. Don’t forget to check out all the positions as well (WR #1, WR #2, Other WRs, TE & RB).

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 4
The Thursday night tilt from last week was as uneventful as we anticipated. Fortunately, things are looking up again with our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 4 contest between the Bengals and AFC’s last unbeaten squad, the Miami Dolphins. Uncertainty
Uncertainty surrounds Miami as their star quarterback is listed as questionable after an ugly “back” injury he returned from in Week 3.
For the defending AFC champions, they’ll debut their all-white jerseys and helmets but need to figure out how to revamp an offense that enters this game last in yards per play and 20th overall.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Miami Dolphins | 13 | 4 | 31 | 2 | 8 |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 20 | 14 | 20 | 32 | 10 |
The Dolphins are no strangers to establishing a potent offense. In 2021, Miami ranked 7th in offensive pace but that has surprisingly fallen off under Mike McDaniel. His club enters Week 4 ranked 28th with just 55.7 offensive plays per game…

NFL Player Prop Bets Week 3
Now that we have a couple of games in the books, we have a better idea of what to expect from teams and players. That makes our NFL Player prop Bets Week 3 even more appealing. The fantasy football slate has been challenging, but player props only increase the football fun. For this week, we’re looking at touchdown player props that offer large wins. Just hitting one of these bets brings a huge return on investment. Let’s take a look at some of those favorable NFL Player Prop Bets Week 3 to target on this glorious first weekend of football. All lines courtesy of DraftKings. Touchdown Props Alec Ingold (RB) Miami Dolphins TD +2000 The Dolphins love using the fullback in their new offense. Ingold is in the game on 37% of the snaps this season and most importantly near the goal line. Miami lacks a true goal-line runner and we’ve already seen Ingold get touches with a chance to score a TD. These odds are an outstanding value. Boston Scott (RB) Philadelphia Eagles TD +400 Scott is utilized heavily in the red zone and we already hit on him in Week 1. He is also a threat to score multiple TDs in this game. He did it twice in nine games last season and totaled seven TDs. Most weeks he’s a strong bet because having four rushing options that are a TD threat drives his odds up. J.D. McKissic (RB) Washington Commanders TD +370 McKissic is a guy who is game-script dependent and it’s likely the Eagles beat up on the Commanders in this one. This should lead to us seeing a lot more of him, particularly in the second half. Coming off a seven-target game he’s a threat to find the end zone if he catches the ball in space inside the 20. This will likely be the heaviest utilization we see from him up to this point. A pair of scores bet would return a massive +3000. Tyler Allgeier (RB) Atlanta Falcons TD +400 Allgeier is going to get about half the carries in this game and his greatest strength coming out of college was his ability to pound the ball into the end zone. He scored 23 TDs at BYU last year. The Falcons’ ability to get near the goal line is a bit scary, but they should manage against the Seahawks this week. Dontrell Hilliard (RB) Tennessee Titans TD +400, 2 TD +4000 We already saw Hilliard score two TDs in his only game this season. He’s a big play threat who can score from anywhere. If you believe the Raiders will win this game, he’s likely to see plenty of work in the second half. With the Raiders having the lead and a bad defense, things line up well for Hilliard and the odds are nice. Jordan Mason (RB) San Francisco 49ers TD +450 The odds are skewed here thanks to the unknown, and you should use them in your favor. We’ve seen the 49ers running backs drop like flies again, per usual. However, we know that last week before getting injured Tyrion Davis-Price carries the ball 14 times, and Mason is expected to slide into his role. These odds are too good to ignore. Braxton Berrios (WR) New York Jets TD +750 Berrios is coming off a six-target game and has the benefit of playing in the most pass-happy offense in the league. Joe Flacco is throwing the ball more than 50 times a game this year. Berrios also has the additional advantage of being a dangerous returner. Cole Beasley (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers TD +650 We don’t know how Beasley will be utilized this week, but there’s a real chance he has a significant role thanks to all the injuries and the Mike Evans suspension. If Julio Jones suits up it puts a bit of a damper on this bet. However, if he doesn’t these odds are worth the risk. Mack Hollins (WR) Las Vegas Raiders TD +350, 2 TD +3500 Hollins is a big-bodied wideout playing almost 90% of the snaps and coming off an eight-target game. With Hunter Renfrow ruled out with a concussion, Hollins will see a bump in utilization. He’s a strong candidate to find the end zone in this one against a Titans defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. David Sills (WR) New York Giants TD +600 Sills is 6-foot-3 and was on the field for 92% of the offensive snaps last week for the Giants. He saw four targets and looks to be an important part of New York’s game plan. Not one wideout was on the field more than him. It’s not farfetched to bet on one of those targets coming in the red zone. Isaiah Likely (TE) Baltimore Ravens TD +450 Likely has seen nine targets through two games and Rashod Bateman was a late-week addition to the injury report. This is a slam dunk option if Bateman is out, but a solid bet either way. We know Bill Belichick is going to scheme up a defense to take away Mark Andrews. This should open up more opportunities for the rookie tight end. Juwan Johnson (TE) New Orleans Saints TD +370 Johnson has separated himself as the clear No. 1 tight end in New Orleans. He’s dominating snaps and targets. With 12 targets through two games and the frame to make plays in the end zone, he’s a good bet to get in this week against a struggling Panthers team. O.J. Howard (TE) Houston Texans TD +425, 2 TD +4000 With Brevin Jordan out, routes and targets should open up for Howard. The team will get Pharoah Brown back this week. However, he’s more of a blocking tight end. Howard already has two TDs on the year and is a candidate to score another in this one. Passing Props Tua Tagovailoa Over 262.5 -115 Josh Allen Over 282.5 -115 Jalen Hurts Over 238.5 -115

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 3
After opening 2022 with a pair of high-octane Thursday night games, here are the Steelers and Browns to cool the scoring off. While we may not see a shootout, our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 3 still thinks there are
Cleveland just blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Jets at home. The Browns will be ripe for revenge but will the short rest situation hurt them?
Meanwhile, the Steelers have looked impotent and dropped a home tilt to New England. Plus, they have to contend with traveling to a hostile environment as underdogs.
Matchup

| Pittsburgh Steelers | 30 | 28 | 26 | 30 | 19 |

Last season, Matt Canada coached Pittsburgh’s offense and was able to overcome Ben Roethlisberger’s deficiencies to a 9-7-1 record. The 2021 Steelers were only 29th in rushing but managed to finish 15th in passing…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 2
The first game of the 2022 NFL season didn’t quite live up to the hype. At least not for the defending champions. The second week begins with an exciting AFC West matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs that should make
Both squads enter this tilt 1-0 after impressive victories in their openers. The Chiefs have won 13 of their last 16 matchups with the Chargers and shootouts have been the norm of late.
This should be another exciting, high-scoring grudge match. Let’s break down the fantasy football ramifications in our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 2. They face another tough task in Week 2, traveling to Arrowhead on a short week.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Los Angeles Chargers | 2 | 1 | 11 | 1 | 1 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 9 | 8 | 24 | 16 | 9 |
* above ranks are from the 2021 season
Kansas City dismantled the Cardinals in Arizona last week behind a league-best 360 passing yards and five touchdowns from Patrick Mahomes. This quelled any concerns of how Andy Reid and company with fare after trading away Tyreek Hill in the offseason.
Andy Reid found success by distributing the ball among multiple players. Mahomes had completed passes to nine different teammates in the first half of the team’s blowout win.
Meanwhile, Brandon Staley’s Chargers come off of a 24-19 road victory against the Raiders. Behind another solid outing from QB Justin Herbert, LA did just enough to keep Derek Carr and the Raiders from mounting a successful comeback in Las Vegas.
Four of the last five meetings between these two AFC West rivals have gone over 52 points, so there should be plenty of fireworks. This is the first NFL game to be available exclusively on a streaming platform, so it should be a memorable contest on multiple fronts.
Kansas City enters Week 2 as four-point favorites and the over/under is set at a whopping 54 points. This game certainly doesn’t look like another boring Thursday Night tilt.
There should be plenty of points scored and that means a ton of fantasy football ramifications.

NFL Player Prop Bets Week 1
Because there is little to go on, Week 1 is always the most difficult week to forecast. Both from a fantasy and betting perspective. Still, it’s one of the busiest slates, and our NFL Player Prop Bets Week 1 looks
Like forecasting, the early lines available have been erratic. They’ll stabilize once the season begins. For this week, we’re looking at touchdown player props that offer large returns. Just hitting one of these bets brings a huge return on investment.
Let’s take a look at some of those favorable NFL Player Prop Bets Week 1 to target on this glorious first weekend of football.
All lines courtesy of DraftKings.
Tom Brady (QB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Rush TD +800
Brady is famous for his one-yard QB dives into the end zone. He’s good for about three a year. There is a good chance he falls in for a score because he does it a handful of times every year. Despite his age, he continues to try the sneak on the goal line. Brady is also +8000 to punch in two scores.
Damien Williams (RB) Atlanta Falcons – Anytime TD +550
Everything we’ve heard out of Atlanta points to Williams having a shot to lead the Falcons in carries. However, the odds have Tyler Allgeier is the more likely to score a TD, which he is not. Williams will have a prominent role in this offense and has a shot at goal-line carries. Gambling on a pair of scores returns a huge +5500.

The inaugural game of the 2022 NFL season is sure to be a good one as the defending champion Rams host a Buffalo Bills squad that is favored to be their top challengers this season. With an opening over/under of 52.5, there should be plenty of fireworks in the first game of the season.

* above ranks are from the 2021 season
Too often we have subpar Thursday night matchups worsened by teams playing on a short week. That won’t be the case in the season opener. Both teams are prohibitive Super Bowl favorites and boasted top-1o offenses last season. Both squads also have deep and talented defenses, which will make every drive crucial.
Sean McVay, fresh off his first Lombardi Trophy, is one of the most innovative and intelligent coaches in the league. In McVay’s first five seasons at the helm, the Rams have made the playoffs four times and boast a 55-26 regular-season record. All of his teams have finished 11th or better in offense and 16th or better…
