TopProp Fantasy Sports is officially live, bringing you a new way to wager on fantasy football. Are you confident that you have the best team in your league? Great, bet on it. Are you confident that your league mate Bob is going to blow John out of the water this week? Great, bet on it.
Put down your group chat where you talk trash and put your money where your mouth is. That’s what TopProp gives you the ability to do. It also gives you the ability to wager on “Expert” leagues. These can be leagues made up of your favorite fantasy football analysts, industry experts, or anyone else you simply want to wager on. One of those leagues is made up of our experts here at FTN.
Each week, I will provide you with an update on the TopProp FTN Expert League, highlighting a key matchup to wager on, recapping the last week, and reviewing the current standings of the league.
Additionally, their recent launch of Battleground allows users to face off head-to-head in player-prop contests with pre-populated spreads set on their fantasy-point matchups. I will also provide two contests that I am eyeing for Week 12 on Battlegrounds and which way I lean.
Battleground Matchups of the Week | TopProp FTN Expert League
Both Michael Pittman and Chris Godwin are in a great spot on Sunday, with Pittman coming in against a pass-funnel defense and Godwin coming in against a shaky secondary. Between the two, however, I lean towards Pittman, so getting the 2-point bonus is a cherry on top.
Pittman has posted at least 60 yards or a touchdown in five of his last seven games and with the pass being the one way to shred this Tampa Bay defensive unit, he should continue to rack up the lion’s share of the usage. Godwin, similarly, should see a hefty target share, but where the Colts struggle is on defending the deep passing. Because of that, this sets up as more of a Mike Evans game, not necessarily a Godwin game.
Sticking at the wide receiver position, we have a battle between two of the best Sunday with the reigning WR1 getting the 0.5-point bonus against the current WR1.
Because of the matchup with Jalen Ramsey, I am a bit weary of backing Adams in a matchup against a receiver like Kupp. The other big pro for Kupp is the fact that Jaire Alexander remains out for the Packers, softening their secondary while their rush defense has steadily improved. Both should see a copious number of targets, but the production feels much safer with Kupp.

Week 12 Preview | TopProp FTN Expert League
The Week 12 late got off to an early start this week with the Thanksgiving holiday, as shown on the scoreboard below.
Daniel Kelley, arguably the hottest team in the league, got off to a roaring start in Week 12, snagging 50 points over Thursday’s three-game slate.
We have a barn-burner unfolding between Gilles Gallant and Ray Garvin, as they currently project for the highest-scoring matchup on the slate, and the projections are only separated by 7.67 points, making it a great matchup to get some side action in on.
