This file will likely be up to date all through Friday and Saturday with my NFL participant props for Week 8, so watch this house. First up, an below for Zach Wilson.
Wilson has been held below this quantity in 5 of his six video games this season, and it’s onerous to search out many elements that might counsel he may buck that development right here.
Everytime you take the below on a move yards prop, it’s key to keep away from a trailing sport script. The Jets are three-point favorites and will likely be getting again their elite CB duo of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed, which ought to assist decrease the probabilities we see the Jets going through a landing deficit which might be lower than ideally suited for this prop.
The Giants are a run-funnel protection that ranks fifteenth in DVOA in opposition to the move and thirtieth in opposition to the run. Breece Corridor noticed his utilization ramp up heading into the Jets’ Week 7 bye. He’s going to be a lot nearer to 100% well being, and I may see him having an enormous sport right here — on the expense of Wilson passing yards.
We’d additionally see some rain on this sport. Much more cause for the Jets to draw back from placing an excessive amount of on Wilson’s plate. It’s a sport the place the Jets will probably have the ability to lean closely on their run sport and protection in an effort to come away with the win.
I’m projecting his median nearer to 187.5 right here with a 60% likelihood to remain below 199.5. It’s additionally a prop I can see getting wager down very quickly and wished to get forward of it.

TE Connor Heyward
Over 18.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Think about if books have been floating this prop for Pat Freiermuth? That’s fairly near what’s going on right here.
Heyward isn’t fairly the identical expertise as Freiermuth, however he has primarily taken over his function. He was the Steelers tight finish used probably the most in passing conditions final week, leading to him operating a route on 96% of Kenny Pickett’s dropbacks. Heyward solely noticed a goal on 11% of these routes, which is way decrease than his season lengthy charge of 17%.
I’m anticipating him to have nearer to a 80% routes run charge and a goal charge of 16%. That will get us round three receptions for Heyward, which ought to be greater than sufficient to clear this prop, one thing that will likely be inside attain with simply two receptions.
Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada drew up a play final week particularly for Heyward for a pleasant catch and run. I believe we may see one thing comparable once more this week
Freiermuth usually thrives in opposition to zone, so we are able to think about Heyward may profit from the very fact the Jags protection makes use of zone on the seventh-highest charge. The Jags have blown fairly just a few coverages to TEs currently, permitting large performs to Jonnu Smith and Kylen Granson. In addition they Foster Moreau huge open for a TD (that he dropped) final week on Thursday Evening Soccer.
I am projecting Heyward’s median nearer to 23.5 and a 61% likelihood that he can clear 18.5.
| Rec. Yards | Over | Underneath |
|---|---|---|
| 17.5 | 64.3% | 35.7% |
| 18.5 | 61.8% | 38.2% |
| 19.5 | 59.4% | 40.6% |
| 20.5 | 57% | 43% |
| 21.5 | 55% | 45% |
| 22.5 | 53% | 47% |
Choose: Cameron Heyward Over 18.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
TE Hayden Hurst
Underneath 3.5 receptions (-166)
In six video games this season, Hurst has solely cleared this line as soon as — within the opener in opposition to the Falcons.
In truth, he has solely had one sport with greater than three targets (additionally in opposition to Atlanta), giving him a lowly 10% share on the season. One of many causes for this downturn in productiveness is the emergence of WR Adam Thielen, who has excelled for the Panthers within the slot and has been a favourite over-the-middle goal for Bryce Younger.
With coaches pissed off over his run-blocking (he wasn’t requested to do a lot of that in earlier stops with Baltimore, Atlanta and Cincinnati), Hurst has additionally seen his snap rely reduce into by Tommy Tremble; in opposition to Miami in Week 6, he had 36 complete snaps to Tremble’s 31.
Hurst completed Carolina’s loss to the Dolphins with only one catch for 16 yards, the third time in his final 4 video games with only a single reception.
Regardless of going through a Houston crew that has given up probably the most receiving yards to tight ends by way of the primary seven weeks, my projections have Hurst nearer to 2.7 catches on Sunday, and a 69% likelihood he stays below that quantity.
Choose: Hayden Hurst Underneath 3.5 receptions (-166)
