Bet: Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin — Over 60.5 receiving yards (-120 @ BetMGM) vs Atlanta Falcons
Bet Gameplan: Playable to 62.5
• Atlanta allows the most receiving yards to wide receivers of any defense in the NFL: As seen in the graphic above by analyst Ben Brown, receiving yards overs have been very profitable vs the Falcons this season.
• Even with the return of A.J. Terrell, McLaurin should have his way with this Falcons defense: Terrell actually has not been that great in coverage this season (51.2 PFF coverage grade).
• McLaurin was on pace to easily go over his receiving-yard total in Week 11: But a negative game script eliminated that chance vs the Houston Texans. Washington should get a better fight from Atlanta.
Bet: San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle — Under 47.5 receiving yards (-115) vs New Orleans Saints
Bet Gameplan: Playable to 45.5
• This number is too high for Kittle: He's only gone over 47 yards in 3 of his 8 games this year. Usually his prop number hovers around the 42-44-yardage mark, but because he had a big game vs the Cardinals (as all tight ends do), his yardage number is a bit higher than usual.
• Saints allowing the 5th-fewest receiving yards to tight ends: Mostly because of the great coverage play from Demario Davis, Pete Werner, and Tyrann Mathieu, all of whom have 70+ PFF coverage grades.
• Only 2 tight ends have eclipsed 45 yards vs the Sains this season: Including Tyler Higbee, who only reached 45 yards last week because of a garbage-time 20-yard catch with 33 seconds remaining.
Bet: Las Vegas Raiders TE Foster Moreau — Over 35.5 receiving yards (-114) vs Seattle Seahawks
Bet Gameplan: Playable to 37.5
• Moreau wasn’t really involved in the Raiders' aerial attack in Week 11: But that’s partly because Davante Adams was beating anyone who was guarding him, and Derek Carr was feeding him as much as possible.
• Moreau has 4+ targets in every other game this season: And without Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller, he likely will be Carr's 2nd or 3rd option vs the Seahawks.
• Seattle is allowing the 2nd-most receiving yards to TEs: Jordyn Brooks and Cody Barton have sub-55 PFF coverage grades, which means Moreau should be open enough times to go over this prop number.
Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith — Over 1.5 passing TDs (-135) vs Las Vegas Raiders
Bet Gameplan: Playable to -150
• Raiders pass defense arguably NFL's worst right now: They rank dead last in EPA/pass allowed, and 31st in passing success rate allowed. They’ve allowed 17 passing TDs this season (6th most), and are at a disadvantage on the outside vs Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.
• Geno Smith has been a revelation: Ranking highly in a bevy of QB metrics this season. He’s also gone over 1.5 passing TDs in 8/10 games this season and should have time to find open receivers vs a porous Raiders pass rush (27th in pressure rate).
