How to Play PrizePicks NFL Fantasy

PrizePicks is the easiest way to win money with your NFL predictions. When you create an account, use promo code Playbook to get $50 instantly in Lineups when you play your first $5 Lineup.

Creating a lineup is easy, and you don’t have to use just NFL squares.

Here’s how to create an NFL lineup on PrizePicks:

  1. Pick two or more players (up to six) from any sport on the board.
  2. Predict More or Less on the player's projected stats — like passing yards or receptions.
  3. Choose FLEX or POWER PLAY lineup. With Flex plays, you still win if one pick misses. With Power Plays, you’ll receive higher payouts, but every pick must be right.

PrizePicks NFL Fantasy Scoring System

For every NFL game, you can choose More or Less on players’ fantasy scores, in addition to a plethora of other stats. Basically, instead of predicting one stat, fantasy scores are based on a player's entire performance — similar to traditional fantasy foobtall.

Rather than building a full team, you can choose your favorite players based on their PrizePicks fantasy projection. 

In the app, find the PrizePicks NFL fantasy scoring system by going to the hamburger menu in the top left corner, tap Help Center, tap Scoring Chart on top, then find the NFL In the desktop app, access the fantasy scoring by clicking Scoring Chart at the top of the NFL board.

Here’s how the PrizePicks NFL fantasy scoring system works.

How do PrizePicks Reboots and DNP Work for NFL?

PrizePicks will automatically remove projections from a Lineup when a player does not play (DNP), or if the athlete meets the requirement for a Reboot.

Players will receive a reboot and be reverted to a DNP if they leave in the first half with an injury and do not return to the game.

When these picks are removed from your Lineup, they will not be counted toward a loss, but they will lower payouts by one tier for each DNP/Reboot. View PrizePicks payout structures here.

Players will be marked as DNP if they do not receive an offensive snap (for offensive players) or defensive snap (for defensive players). For projections in a specific period of play (like 1st half or 1st quarter), they will be given a DNP status if they don't play in that time frame.

Learn more about the Reboot and DNP policy for NFL here, or in the app where you find the scoring charts.

What are Demons and Goblins on PrizePicks?

You can win more with Demons and Goblins on the PrizePicks board. You can filter through a player’s regular Demon, and Goblin projections by clicking the left and right arrow icon by a player’s projection.

Demons are identified by a bold red emoji on the projection board. Demons are high-difficulty projections that can rocket your max payout up to 1000x if you pick correctly. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.

Goblins are identified by a green emoji on the projection board and they’re designed to keep you in the green. These are safer picks that make it easier to land consistent wins. Because these projections are easier to hit, your max payout multiplier will be lower. You must pick “More” on a Goblin projection.
