Well, all 3 picks managed to be correct last week, and 2 out of the 3 back in Week 1. Five out of six isn’t too bad to start the year! This week, I’m chasing points a little bit, so some of these picks may be a bit surprising, but each one, if correct, gets you at least 100 points. However, getting points is the name of the game and at ThriveFantasy, it is not made up and the points do matter!

It’s time to #PropUp at ThriveFantasy and take a look at some of the props for Sunday’s action! One of my favorite things about ThriveFantasy’s Sunday contests is that they give props for games all throughout the day, so you aren’t just limited to the 1:00 and 4:25 games. Do you want the late night hammer or to sweat it out all day? You can do that!

Here are a few of my favorite props on Thrive Fantasy for Week 3!

Calvin Ridley OVER 0.5 Receiving TD’s

I know the Atlanta offense hasn’t been great this season, but 115 points for Atlanta’s top receiver to find the end zone? Yes please! Ridley has a 25 percent target share and is the team’s top wide out. Atlanta is a pass-heavy team (no surprise there) and the Giants have allowed 27 and 30 points through the first two weeks of the year. Ridley is scoring this week, and we’ll get 115 points when he does.

UPDATE: JuJu Smith-Schuster OVER 6.5 Receptions

Updating from the Hopkins pick. With Diontae Johnson out, expect JuJu to see some added targets. Smith-Schuster has 15 targets through the first two games of the year and the Bengals defense has allowed opposing receivers to catch 70 percent of their targets. Give Smith-Schuster 10 targets, he’s catching at least seven balls. Let’s chase the points.

Ryan Tannehill UNDER 23.5 Completions

The Seattle blueprint from Week 1 against the Colts is what I expect the Titans to emulate in Week 3. I really like A.J. Brown this week, don’t get me wrong, but in Week 1, Russell Wilson threw for 254 yards and four scores on just 18 completions (23 attempts) Indy. A heavy and effective dose of Derrick Henry with timely passing from Tannehill should get the job done. 

Teams have had success on the ground against Indy, where the quarterback hasn’t needed a boatload of attempts. Indianapolis has some issues under center, too, so this has the makings of a run-heavy script from Tennessee, and Tannehill going under 23.5 completions. 

Fun fact: Since joining the Titans, Tannehill has never completed more than 17 passes in a game against Indy, and has only attempted more than 25 passes once (Week 10 of 2020).
