Best TNF Week 16 PrizePicks Player Predictions
Kyren Williams Over 88.5 Rushing Yards
Kyren Williams was outstanding out of the gate this season. Fortunately, he hasn’t slowed down in his return from injured reserve (IR). In the second-year pro’s past four games, he’s rushed for 143, 88, 114 and 152 yards. Those totals are good for an average of 124.3 per game and a median of 101.
Williams has a juicy matchup this week. According to The 33rd Team, running backs have steamrolled the Saints for 125 rushing yards per game since Week 12. Williams should run roughshod over the Saints. FantasyPros is projecting Williams to rush for 93 yards against the Saints.
Demario Davis Over 7.0 Tackles + Assists
A good game script for Williams to tote the rock is also ideal for Demario Davis to pile up tackles and assists. The veteran linebacker is a tackling machine. According to Pro-Football-Reference, he’s averaged 7.3 combined tackles plus assists this season, with a median of seven.
He’s had at least seven tackles plus assists in eight of 14 games this year, including besting seven six times. Davis has exceeded seven tackles plus assists in back-to-back games and five of his past seven. As a result, this is an appealing selection on PrizePicks.
Puka Nacua OVER 61.5 Receiving Yards
Cooper Kupp has had consecutive exceptional games after an underwhelming stretch. The re-emergence of Kupp is a threat to Puka Nacua’s receiving outlook. Nevertheless, they’ve succeeded together, and Nacua can clear his line.
The supremely talented rookie has had over 61.5 receiving yards in two of his past three games. According to FantasyPros, Nacua has had a 23.5% target share and averaged 77 air yards per game since Week 12. Nacua parlayed his stellar underlying data into 66.5 receiving yards per game. Interestingly, FantasyPros is projecting him to have 66.6 receiving yards this week. Therefore, Nacua’s over for 61.5 receiving yards is an appealing choice.
