1. Anytime Player Touchdowns
Latavius Murray at +265: With Damien Harris out and Murray's knack for goal-line duties, he's a prime pick. This big back, especially when compared to James Cook, has already marked his presence in Weeks 2 and 3. We see him potentially stepping in as the goal-line back this week.
Kenneth Walker at -155: Overlooking Christian McCaffrey's highlights, Walker's been on fire. With six scores in the past four games and a soft matchup against the Cardinals' defense, we're banking on him to find the end zone.
Zach Evans at +245: Given the uncertainty in the Rams' backfield, this might be a slightly risky pick, but with Evans' recent activity and the potential absence of Darrell Henderson, he's worth a bet.
2. Player Props
Jahan Dotson Over 32.5 Receiving Yards: Despite a recent off game, Dotson's overall performance this season is hard to overlook. Given that he'll be up against Atlanta's defense, we see him potentially exceeding this yardage. It's a modest expectation, making it one of our top prop bets for the week.
Drake London Under 48.5 Receiving Yards: The matchup against Washington's defense seems favorable, but on the road against Tampa? Things change. With an over/under of only 37.5 points, we're predicting a low-scoring game and therefore lower receiving yards for London.
3. Strategy Tip: Shop Around
The disparities in prop odds across different platforms can be significant. For instance, the prop for Zach Evans is much more favorable on DraftKings than other sites. Always ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck.
4. Defensive Matchups Matter
Teams like Tampa are particularly strong against the pass, making wide receivers like Drake London less favorable in prop bets. Always consider the defensive matchups when placing your bets.
5. Rookies to Watch
Keep an eye on rookie sensations like Bijan Robinson. Even if they aren't your primary bet, they can often swing the dynamics of a game, affecting other props and outcomes. In the case of the Falcons, with Desmond Ridder's passing yards over/under set at a modest 208.5, expect Robinson to get plenty of touches.
