The Top THRIVE Fantasy Prop Bets – Week 13 Plays
THRIVE FANTASY
Anyone who’s been following goingfor2 has likely noticed we’re talking a lot about our newest sponsor, Thrive Fantasy. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with the Thrive team and LOVE the new spin they’re bringing to the DFS space. Thrive Fantasy is essentially prop bets meets DFS; where you build a roster by selecting players against over/under thread with each win yielding you a differing point total. For sharp GoingFor2 readers, this format offers a huge edge; in addition to being a ton of fun. Each week I’ll be flagging some of my favorite plays on the Thrive slate and helping you blow past the payline. Check them out by going to thrivefantasy.com and score an instant match up to $50 (minimum $20 deposit) by using promo code ARMCHAIR.

Todd Gurley: UNDER 0.5 TD (90 pts)
This one is a big favorite, and for good reason. Todd Gurley is returning from an injury to find his way into a 3-way committee backfield and up against one of the toughest rush defenses in the league in the Saints. New Orleans has only allowed 3 rushing touchdowns on the season and a suddenly old and likely not 100% Todd Gurely doesn’t stand a chance to get into the box.
UNDERDOG
Austin Ekeler: OVER 55.5 Rushing Yards (115 pts)
Austin Ekeler is still working hard to shake off the “pass down back” persona that he developed early in his career. In this case, it actually works to our benefit. There is hardly a feature running back in the league who’s yardage line is this low and, coupled with the plus odds, we have to pounce on this. The icing on this cake is that NE is absolutely hemorrhaging yards on the ground, averaging just under 100 yards per game to opposing rushers.
Travis Kelce: OVER 0.5 TD (105 pts)
This one sorta feels like stealing. Travis Kelce is one of the rare players that is a favorite to score a TD week in and week out (-164 on BetMGM) and yet here he is at plus odds in Thrive. I completely get the concern that KC gets up big and leans on the run in this game but if they’re up big, it’s likely on the back of a Kelce TD.
DARK HORSE

Like in traditional DFS, building a unique roster of player props is key to the strategy in Thrive. In addition to the line be incredibly favorable on ARob receptions (compared to his season average of 6.5/game), his late addition to the injury report this week will likely steer players away from this selection.
