Best Bet: WRs vs Commanders

Washington's secondary has been a boom for WR across the first three games of this season, allowing 194 yards per game and 3 (!) touchdowns per contest to receivers. As great as the offense has looked, the Commanders defense continues to struggle, bet on all the WR props you can against Dan Quinn's defense.

Best Fade: WRs vs Jets
The Jets struggled in 2023. But, they shut down opposing receivers. Sauce Gardner and the rest of the Jets' defensive back crew have done an amazing job locking down WRs, allowing just five touchdowns to the position — that's half as many than the next-best team.

The Jets have allowed fewer receiver yards per game than any other team. Shutting down those WRs has left them exposed to tight ends at times, as the Jets allow some of the most touchdowns to the big men this season.

Best Bet: RBs vs Cowboys
Mike Zimmer's defense has been a sieve against the run this season, allowing nearly 170 yards per game to opposing backs.

Hammering opposing running back prop OVERs and anytime touchdown scorers against Dallas until they can sort this out. 

Best Fade: RBs vs Lions

Detroit's mammoth defensive line makes it one of the best units against the run in the NFL. Alim McNeill and company eat up opposing rushers for breakfast allowing just 34 rushing yards per game to backs. 

On top of that, promising linebacker Jack Campbell now starts behind this huge defensive line. The addition of D.J. Reader in free agency should only help their cause. Fade running backs against the Lions.

Best Bet: TE vs Chiefs

The Chiefs have struggled immensely against opposing tight ends this season, allowing a wild 111.7 receiving yards per game to the position. 

Jump on TE player props against Steve Spagnuolo's defense. 

Best Fade: TEs vs Texans
Demeco Ryan's has his Houston Texans defense choking out opposing tight ends, holding them to just 10 yards per game thus far. 

Don't expect a massive outing for any tight ends against the Texans.
