Best NFL Underdog Fantasy picks for October 16

RB Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals, 0.5 rushing + receiving touchdowns - Lower (0.83x)

Brown will be looking to score for the first time this season, but is a big part of the Cincinnati offense. In Sunday's loss at Green Bay, he carried nine times for 42 yards, including a long of 13. He also has 20 receptions for 102 yards and no touchdowns in the passing game. Pick it at Underdog:

QB Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers, 1.5 passing touchdowns - Higher (1.05x)

Rodgers has been a scoring machine in 2025, throwing for two or more touchdowns in three games this season, including two in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also threw for four touchdowns in a 34-32 season-opening win over the New York Jets. He threw for two touchdowns and one interception in a 21-14 win over the New England Patriots.

K Evan McPherson, Cincinnati Bengals, 1.5 field goals made  - Higher (1.11x)

McPherson has been a reliable part of the Bengals' kicking game and has made at least one field goal in all six games so far. With the Bengals going against a strong Steelers defense, it may be much of the same with McPherson called upon to kick field goals. In 12 games a year ago, he connected on two or more field goals in five games. He is 6 of 8 on field goal attempts this season, with both misses coming from 50+ yards in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers in Green Bay. Combine picks for a parlay on Underdog Fantasy for a potential payout of 6.73x.
