Jameson Williams longest reception over 22.5 yards. Jameson Williams over 50.5 receiving yards.
Williams has 50+ yard receptions in back to back games. He has 20 targets through two weeks, and it’s evident that Williams is just as big of a focal point in Ben Johnson’s offense as anyone else this year. The electric speedster gets manufactured touches and enough primary reads to cross this mark. In a month, his receiving lines will be 70+ yards.
Rashid Shaheed longest reception over 24.5.
Similar logic applies to Shaheed, but the Eagles defense is even less sound than the Saints. Shaheed is a focal point and clear starting WR garnering a strong snap share and high enough target share to warrant this being hammered. The Saints use of play action and lack of impact defenders on the Eagles back end will make for an explosive gain or two from the long striding burner.
Derrick Henry longest rush over 13.5 yards. Derrick Henry to score a touchdown.
Henry and the Ravens got rolling against the Raiders with multiple explosive rushes. The Cowboys front is a lesser, more fundamentally unsound unit who struggles with run fits. Henry crossed this mark in 13 of 17 games last year. Added bonus is that Henry is salty that the Cowboys didn’t pursue him, as he lives in Dallas.
Both teams are good parlay: Steelers +7.5 + Chargers + 10.5 + under 47.5 + JK Dobbins 25+ rushing yards + Najee Harris 25+ rushing yards.
In a slugfest, two disciplined, conservative teams will pound the rock back and forth in a tightly contested game that will see few possessions.
Skylar Thompson under 194.5 passing yards + De’Von Achane 25+ receiving yards.
Thompson has never crossed this mark, while the Seahawks haven’t allowed a passer to get there yet. Achane is a clear focus of the Dolphins pass game, and will have at least two receptions on screens. While the Dolphins may look to run the ball more, Achane has 14 receptions through two games. Negative correlation works in our favor here.
Bo Nix over 30.5 pass attempts.
Nix has crossed this mark twice early despite being a rookie. On the road in Tampa, the Bucs can certainly force a negative, thus pass happy, game script from the Broncos.
Long shot parlay: Jameson Williams longest reception over 22.5 yards + Rashid Shaheed longest reception over 24.5 yards + Derrick Henry longest run over 13.5 yards + Bucs -2.5 + Chiefs -2.5 + De’Von Achane 25+ receiving yards
