Fantasy football is more than just the weekly head-to-head games we’ve all grown to love. On Underdog, fantasy managers can put their player-projection skills to the test by predicting player stat lines. Here are my top Underdog plays for the Monday Night Football Pick’em contest between the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets.
Top Underdog Pick’ems for Monday Night Football
Underdog Pick’ems allows managers to predict stat lines and fantasy-point totals for almost all fantasy-relevant players. You can make two picks that pay out three times even money or add more selections to your entry for higher payouts.
The levels are 3x, 6x, 10x, and 20x, progressing with each additional pick’em you add to your entry. Let’s take a look at this week’s Monday night Underdog Pick’ems.
Joshua Kelley Higher Than 22.5 Rushing Yards
The Jets undoubtedly have an excellent defense. But they’ve been sneaky vulnerable on the ground, allowing 101 rushing yards per game.
Joshua Kelley has carried the ball 13 times over the past two weeks. If he gets another 6-7 carries this week, I’m confident he can manage a little more than 3.5 yards per carry and get to about 25 rushing yards.
Breece Hall Higher Than 11.45 Fantasy Points
Over his past three games, Breece Hall has smashed this number each time. To be fair, he’s scored in three straight. However, in all three games, he would’ve gotten to 11.5 fantasy points even if you take away the touchdown. That’s how good Hall has been.

Most notably, Hall’s passing-game usage has been strong recently. He’s caught at least three passes in four straight games and has 11 catches over his last two.
Receiving work is a great way to bolster fantasy production. If Hall scores, he tops this projection easily. But even if he doesn’t, there’s a good chance he can get there on volume alone.
Garrett Wilson Higher Than 5.0 Receptions
As the season has progressed, Garrett Wilson’s rapport with Zach Wilson has improved. He’s caught at least five passes in four of his last five games.
The Chargers are one of the most generous defenses to wide receivers, allowing 13.1 receptions per game to receivers. Given how consolidated the Jets’ passing offense is, half of them are likely to go to Wilson, which is plenty enough to get him to this projection.
