Our PrizePicks Rebuild Got Schedule Clips, Not Lines

Read the price, role, and market first Today's Underdog prop lines sit beside the Week 1 projection board for the same five men. Both lists come out in the same order, tight ends included.

Updated Sep 7, 2026 · Week 1 board.

What the last rebuild delivered instead of real numbers

A props comparison needs prices. A line, a book, a date. Kickoff time and rest days are real information and they price nothing at all. Lean on those while promising a props refresh and you've handed somebody the wrong thing entirely.

The figures below come from two places that do carry prices. Today's live Underdog prop board, pulled Sep 7, 2026 at 5:22 p.m. ET. And the Week 1 projection board, PPR scoring, pulled Sep 8.

The book's number and the board's number, side by side

These aren't the same unit and I'm not converting one into the other. Underdog prices receiving yards. The board prices a week of points and then says where that puts a man against everybody else at his position. So the honest move is to line the five up twice, once by what the book charges and once by what the board says, then look at whether the two lists come out in the same sequence.

Last column is the book. Everything left of it is the board.

Courtland SuttonDENWR11.683061.242.5
Travis KelceKCTE9.8110107.341.5
Jake FergusonDALTE9.8011135.130.5

They come out in the same sequence, top to bottom. CeeDee Lamb leads the book at 76.5 receiving yards and leads the board at 17.25 points. Pickens second on both. Sutton third on both.

Then the two tight ends, fourth and fifth on each side. That agreement is worth something by itself, because it means the book and the board are not arguing about which of these five has the best Sunday coming.

Then there is tight end, where they quietly stop agreeing, and the split is small enough to walk straight past. The board has Travis Kelce 10th among tight ends, and that is 9.81 points. One hundredth of a point behind him, the very next name down at the position, is Jake Ferguson, who projects 9.80 points. Underdog is nowhere near that tight.

It charges 41.5 receiving yards on the first man against 30.5 on the second, an eleven-yard spread. Drafters aren't near it either. Average draft position reads 107.3 against 135.1, which is twenty-eight picks. Two markets separate these two by a wide margin and the board can't separate them at all.

What a genuine PrizePicks payout comparison still requires

This is not a PrizePicks payout chart and I won't call it one. A real cross-book payout comparison needs a live PrizePicks price on these same men, and today's board has 0 of 212. It also needs the PrizePicks payout structure for however many legs a ticket carries, which nobody here has either. Until both of those show up, a side-by-side like the one above, real lines and real projections, labeled by source and by unit, is the ceiling on this rebuild.

It still beats a schedule note by a mile.

Using this table without overreading it

Use the table as two reference points, never as one verdict. Compare Underdog's lines against each other, or check whether the board's sequence matches how heavily a man is priced on the live props board, and you're using both figures for what they are. The Week 1 rankings page carries the same board across a full position. The pick'em tool reads the same prop board used here.

Why that board is single-book in the first place gets worked through in Your PrizePicks Cheat Sheet Is Outdated. Here Is the Fix., and the full anatomy of it is in The PrizePicks Guide, Rebuilt for a One-Book Board.

The Receipts Drawer

9.81 and 9.80 at tight end, and the board has no opinion about which of them you'd rather own on Sunday. Underdog has an eleven-yard opinion. The draft crowd has a twenty-eight-pick opinion. Watch Dallas in the first quarter.

If they throw at Ferguson the way a 30.5 line says they won't, the board's tie was the honest read and both markets were slow to it. At the table I'd take the cheaper tight end and let somebody else spend the earlier pick on the same weekly number. Check those yardage lines again Sunday morning, because a book moves and this board does not.

Frequently asked questions

What went wrong with the earlier PrizePicks rebuild attempt?
It leaned on schedule and travel information, kickoff times and rest days, rather than prices. Real information, but it prices nothing, so it could not support a props comparison.
What two real numbers does this rebuild combine per player?
The Week 1 projection board's PPR point total for that man, with his board rank at the position, and Underdog's live receiving-yards prop line. Different units, and neither one is converted into the other.
Does this article provide a PrizePicks payout chart?
No. Today's board has zero lines carrying a real PrizePicks price, and the PrizePicks payout structure is not available here either, so no payout comparison is offered.
Where do the book and the board disagree on these five?
At tight end. The board separates Travis Kelce and Jake Ferguson by one hundredth of a point, while Underdog separates them by eleven receiving yards and drafters separate them by twenty-eight picks.
Which of the five carries the highest yardage line?
CeeDee Lamb, at a 76.5 receiving-yards line, and he also leads this group on the projection board at 17.25 points.
