TE TYLER HIGBEE, LOS ANGELES RAMS: UNDER 3.5 RECEPTIONS (+120)
The third-worst team in the NFL comes to Los Angeles at the perfect time, as the Rams are in the midst of a three-game tailspin. If there was ever a get-right spot, it’s Sunday in Los Angeles, as the Rams are almost two-touchdown favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
If the spread market proves correct, then the Rams should be playing their backups by the fourth quarter. Their 64% pass rate should also take a hit, so expect their pass-catchers to see limited opportunities on Sunday. One of the best ways to target this is by betting the under on Higbee’s 3.5 reception prop at a +120 price.
Higbee never leaves the field for the Rams’ offense, as he is the only tight end in the league to play over 90% of offensive snaps this season. The targets haven’t come as smoothly as the snaps, as Higbee sits fourth on the Rams in team target share. He has gone over his reception prop in six of 11 games this season but has finished short in his past two. With the Rams’ offense looking to replicate its early-season success, expect Higbee to take a backseat in this get-right game.
