If you are looking for some NFL Picks for Week 16 and you are playing over at ThriveFantasy, you have most certainly come to the right place.

ThriveFantasy NFL Player Props Week 16
Derrick Henry over 96.5 rushing yards
How is ThriveFantasy giving us points to take the over here? Not only does Henry have 100+ rushing yards in each of his last two games, but he’s averaging 114 yards per game against Houston for his entire career. Furthermore, he’s gone for 200+ yards in four straight games (211, 212, 250, 219) against Houston, scoring multiple touchdowns in each contest.. The Texans have not been able to stop Henry, and they are one of the worst tackling teams in the league. Take the over and the free points from ThriveFantasy.

Jalen Hurts over 1.5 passing touchdowns + interceptions
Hurts threw for two passing scores against Dallas earlier this season, but this Dallas secondary has been a bit vulnerable of late. However, they are talented enough to get a pick or two to help the cause. We just saw Trevor Lawrence throw for four touchdowns against this team, and prior to this one, Matt Ryan had two scores and three picks, and the Jeff Driskel and Davis Mills combination even got above this line.
Hurts does a lot with his legs, but the Cowboys held him to just 27 yards on the ground in the earlier matchup. Hurts will have a good day through the air, but after throwing two picks against the Bears in Week 15, Hurts just might throw a pick to help us get there, even though I expect his passing touchdown total to give us the over itself.

Patrick Mahomes over 320.5 passing + rushing yards
Seattle has enough firepower on offense to make this game interesting, and this feels like the exact type of game where Mahomes will statistically shine. Mahomes has 300+ passing yards in eight of his last nine games, and don’t ignore the fact that he is a sneaky good runner. Over his last seven games, he’s averaging 28.6 yards per game on the ground. If we look at his last seven games, he’s averaging those 28.6 yards on the ground, and a cool 333.9 yards through the air.
Mahomes has averaged 327 passing yards per game at home this season, including over seven more pass attempts per game. Oh, his rushing production at home is also nearly doubled what it is on the road, so just more fuel to the fire. Take the over.
