Monday Night Football DraftKings Picks and Props
Make lineups super quickly at Run The Sims. Or, mess around with the projections and see how it affects everything. I switched around the Eagles rushing rate for my simulations, while adjusting their scoring in the game to have them winning by a point.
That manual adjustment (slightly) up on a few things gets Hurts ahead of Dak for my game projections.
Many talk about telling a correlated story in single-game Showdown contests, but the Run The Sims DYI Simulator allows you to easily input the scores and %s you want then have the cpu pump out projections and lineups for you.

Week 3 Random Game Notes
Washington: Logan Thomas gets there and has now scored in 3 of his past 4 game. Yet to eclipse 45 yards in any of those games though … is he a version of Robert Tonyan but with less stable QB play?
Bills: Emmanuel Sanders (76% available on both Yahoo and ESPN) ranked 11th in the NFL in routes run through 2 weeks
Bears: Justin Fields goes 6/20 in his debut start. Fewest completions (min 20 attempts) in a debut among active QBs)
Browns: In his 2021 debut, Odell Beckham sees 9 of 14 CLE WR targets (64%)
Ravens: Ty’Son Williams finishes 5th in this game in rushing yards. He had the 35-yard TD run in the first quarter of Week 1 (outside of that run, he ha 31 touches for 174 yards and 0 TD). Guess which loser bet on his over rushing yards this week? HINT: He’s currently typing this newsletter/
Lions: D’Andre Swift is on pace for 101 catches this season (187 carry pace). Kalif Raymond has as many catches (6) as he had targets through 2 weeks.
Colts: Michael Pittman has seen 12 targets in consecutive games. 2nd time a Colt has seen 12+ targets in consecutive games since 2013 (TY Hilton: 2018)
Titans: Routes and catches for TEN WRs (Brown injured)
Westbrook-Ikhine: 22/4
Rogers: 15/1, Julio: 15/1
Batson: 12/1
Chargers: TD or 100 yards for Keenan Allen in 11 of his past 13 games. Others carry more upside, few carry a higher floor. Williams, Allen and Ekeler account for 27 of 35 LAC targets and 21 of 26 receptions
Chiefs: CEH picks up 100 yards on 17 carries (season prior: 89 yards on 27 carries)
Saints: Career-high 24 carries for Alvin Kamara, his 2nd 20+ carry game this season. Yet to have 30 receiving yards in a game this season … touch count is nice, but his value declines if those touches are rushes and not receptions
Patriots: 22-yard TD from Kendrick Bourne. That’s a 8.7-point play in half-PPR (he had 5.8 points total through 2 weeks)
Falcons: Cordarrelle Patterson has 7 targets and 7 carries in consecutive games. He has a 10+ yard rush in every game this season. He has a 20+ yard reception in each of the past 2 games
Giants: Saquon Barkley got 16 of 19 NYG RB carries and led the team with 6 receptions
Bengals: Remember a month ago when Ja’Marr Chase couldn’t catch? He has a 30+ yard TD reception in 3 straight games, longest streak since Odell had 5 straight bridging the 2014 and 2015 season.
Steelers: Najee Harris is the 4th player ever with a 14-catch, 14-carry game (Westbrook, Kamara and Rickey Young)
Cardinals: AJ Green has seen 6 targets in every game this season and has seen his catch rate increase with each game. Christian Kirk has turned 17 targets into 15 catches, 239 yards and 2 TDs this season … nice story thus far, but tough to sustain that efficiency
Jags: James Robinson has 80+ rush yards and 5+ receptions … something he only did once during his surprisingly productive rookie season
Raiders: Hunter Renfrow is pacing for 90 receptions this season
Bucs: Brady threw 1 TD pass on 55 attempts (in the first 2 weeks, he was throwing a TD pass once every 9.6 attempts)
Rams: Cooper Kupp’s 17-game pace: 2,080 yards and 28 TD catches
2008 Randy Moss: 1,493 yards and 23 TDs. Kupp is on pace to break that receiving TD record in game 15.
DeSean Jackson has more 50-yard TD receptions since he entered the league as any other TWO PLAYERS COMBINED (28)
Seahawks: Chris Carson had 26 receiving yards in Week 1… he has 2 receiving yards since
Vikings: Kirk Cousins has thrown for 3,328 yards and 28 TDs against 3 INTs over his past 11 games. That’s a 17 game pace of: 5,143 passing yards, 43 pass TD and 5 INTs
Broncos: Tim Patrick was the only Bronco to go over 40 receiving yards.
Jets: No player had even 45 yards from scrimmage.
Zach Wilson’s 17-game pace: 3,559 passing yards, 11 TD passes, 40 INT
Sam Darnold is pacing to go over 3,559 passing yards early in game #13
Sam Darnold has one INT in 3 games. That means it’d take him 120 games to throw 40 picks (over 7 full seasons!)
