Week 5 Rushing Prop James Connor Rushing Yards
The Arizona Cardinals have been much better than anyone would have expected and so has running back James Connor. Connor is third in league rushing with 318 yards after rushing for 62, 106, 98 and 52 yards in the first four weeks.
This week he gets a Bengals defense that gives up 148.5 rushing yards per game (29th) and 5.1 yards per rush (30th).
Last week Cincinnati allowed Derrick Henry to run for 122 yards in their 27-3 loss.
Joe Burrow is struggling to move out of the pocket and the Bengals offense spends little time with the ball. They re 25th in plays per game, 24th in time of possession, have only had ten plays go for 15+ yards, have punted the most and have scored the least percentage of touchdowns on their offensive drives.
My point here is that if Cincy continues to have zero offense, Connor should get plenty of touches and have every opportunity to go over his rushing total for our Week 5 NFL player props.
NFL Player Prop Picks: James Connor over 58.5 rushing yards (-120); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
Week 5 Receiving Prop Dalton Schultz Receiving Yards
Atlanta has struggled defending tight ends this season. The 226 yards they ve given up to the position ranks 25th and the 27 receptions they ve allowed to tight ends ranks 31st.
Versus Atlanta in Week 1, Carolina s Hayden Hurst caught five passes for 41 yards and 1 TD. In Week 2 Luke Musgrave had two catches and 25 yards for Green Bay, in Week 3 Sam LaPorta caught eight passes for 84 yards and score and finally in Week 4 Evan Engram caught seven balls thrown his way for 59 yards.
So for our Week 5 NFL player props let s look the way of Houston tight end Dalton Schulz to find success as well.
Schultz hasn t lit up the passing stats so far with only 89 yards and one touchdown through four games, though he has finished with three-plus catches in 3/4 games though.
If he can pull down a few passes again this week, he could put up some similar numbers to previous tight ends against the Falcons and win us this Week 5 player prop.
NFL Player Prop Picks: Dalton Schulz over 28.5 receiving yards (+100); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
