Every time I come across Taco Tuesday by PrizePicks, it makes me crave a Taco. While it’s not discounted tacos and margaritas, the promo does offer you heavily discounted player projections.

With the discounted player projections, you get extra motivation to make a pick on a player’s performance. Just imagine, you can get LeBron’s points for a 15% discount, and with his projections now being lower, your pick will stand a better chance of being a winning pick. Let’s find out how the PrizePicks Taco Tuesday works.

PrizePicks Taco Tuesday – what is it?

So, what is PrizePicks Taco Tuesday? Let’s start by clarifying there are no free tacos involved, much to my despair. Instead, you get heavily discounted player projections.

The discounts usually apply to certain selected players, which I will explain shortly. What you need to know is that the deals for players who are selected for Taco Tuesday reflect heavy discounts ranging from 15 – 25% on their projections.

To make it more fun, you will see that the discounted player’s headshot is replaced with the image of a Taco, making it easier to spot the players who are part of the Taco Tuesday by PrizePicks.

How are the PrizePicks Taco Tuesday players selected?

PrizePicks is one of the most community-focused DFS sites and the way they pick their Tacos each week proves my point. Earlier, the in-house PrizePicks team would usually select which players to include in the Taco Tuesday promo and what their discounted projections should be. However, the Taco Tuesday players are now chosen by site users! Yes, you can choose the players you want to see in the promo. Each week, PrizePicks selects a list of players and corresponding discounts that they put up for a public vote on their Twitter Account (X) or the PrizePicks members-only Discord server.

If you aren’t part of Discord yet, make sure to sign up because PrizePicks is very active on the Discord site and you can hear about the latest promos there. So essentially, whichever players win the public vote are discounted during Taco Tuesday by PrizePicks. The process of voting also happens on the same Tuesday as the promo itself, so make sure you check the lineup for the vote as soon as it is up.

What happens if your player gets injured?

I was very impressed by this generous policy of PrizePicks to insure injured picks. Let’s say you pick Patrick Mahomes as your Taco and he gets injured, unable to return to the game. Does that mean you’ve completely lost your entry and your money?Nope. PrizePicks has a fun and generous “Spoiled Taco” policy, which marks injured players as a DNP (Did Not Play) if they don’t return to the field after the injury. Below are the rules for the DNP player based on each sport.

Any other bonuses to watch out for on PrizePicks?

I’m glad you asked because there is one other PrizePicks promotion that you should check out if you are a new player on the platform.

For all new players, there is a PrizePicks deposit match promo where you get a 100% deposit match on your first deposit on PrizePicks, up to $100. Don’t sleep on this promo, especially if you are a new player, since that free credit will go a long way toward helping you make more picks!
