Underdog Fantasy Monday Top Plays 12/1

In this weekly series, the crew will break down their top plays for the day and tell you why you should target them! Week 13 has one last game to be played, and two of the better young QBs in the league face off. Let’s take a look at some Underdog plays to win ourselves some money.

Jaxson Dart HIGHER than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs

Jaxson Dart is back! And we’re going right back to the well with Dart in this game, taking the Higher on 0.5 Rushing or Receiving Touchdowns. While Dart has said that he’s going to slide more and worry more about protecting himself on the field, that sentiment will almost certainly go out the window when the end zone is in reach for him. Dart sliding more between the 20’s doesn’t matter for this play, because without Cam Skattebo, Dart is the Giants’ best weapon around the goal line.

Drake Maye HIGHER than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs

This is certainly a riskier Underdog play for Drake Maye, who only has 2 rushing touchdowns on the season. However, the Giants’ run defense (and defense in general) is abysmal, and the Patriots have really struggled around the goal line in their past few games with not being able to score touchdowns with their RBs. I could easily see the Pats pull a trick out of their bag and use Maye as a runner to try and score if the team gets down on the goal line in this game.

Wan’Dale Robinson HIGHER Than 5.5 Receptions

With Underdog being a half point-per-reception site, fantasy points is a less appealing option for Wan’Dale. Instead, we’re going to focus on what Wan’Dale does best, which is get fed the ball over and over again. The Patriots will likely lead for much of this game, and Robinson is easily Jaxson Dart’s best target in the passing game if the Giants hope to keep pace. I’m going Higher than 5.5 Receptions for Wan’Dale here.

TreVeyon Henderson HIGHER than 14.5 Yard Longest Rush

Longest rush plays are always a sweat, but TreVeyon Henderson has been playing well the past several weeks, and the Giant’s rushing defense hasn’t been able to stop opposing running backs basically at all this year. It’s still difficult to project any kind of workload splits for Henderson right now with Rhamondre back and healthy, but it’s much easier to make a play on Henderson’s talent and ability, even with an unpredictable amount of touches in a given game. I’m taking Higher than 14.5 yards on TreVeyon’s longest rush on Underdog here.
