Best Bet: WRs vs Eagles
The Eagles are one of the better teams in the league, but Philly's one weakness this year has been opponent receivers. They allow nearly the most receiving yards to the position in football and almost two touchdowns per contest.

The Eagles were one of the best pass-defending squads in football last year, but after losing C.J. Gardner-Johnson to free agency and Darius Slay to injury at times this year, the secondary has slipped.

Best Fade: WRs vs Jets
The Jets have struggled this year. But, they certainly haven't struggled at stopping receivers. Sauce Gardner and the rest of the Jets' defensive back crew have done an amazing job locking down WRs this year, allowing just five touchdowns to the position — that's half as many than the next-best team.

The Jets have also allowed over 15 fewer receiver yards per game than any other team. Shutting down those WRs has, however, may be leaving 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 Panthers
The Carolina Panthers can't stop a running back if their lives depend on it.

On top of allowing the fourth-most rushing yards to the position, the Panthers have allowed a running back touchdown in nearly every game this season. They've struggled against the position all year, allowing 21 rushing touchdowns and four receiving scores to opposing RBs through 16 games.

Hammering opposing running back prop OVERs and anytime touchdown scorers against Carolina has been one of the best plays of the year.

Best Fade: RBs vs Falcons

You may not know it, but the Falcons have been one of the best run-stuffing squads in the NFL this year. They've allowed just three rushing touchdown all season to running backs, easily the fewest in the league. For context, a team hasn't allowed under three RB rushing scores in a season since the Patriots in 2019.

Atlanta's run-stopping success comes mainly on the back of veterans David Onyemata and Calais Campbell grading out as two of the best interior lineman in the league, per PFF.

Best Bet: TEs vs Broncos
The Broncos' defense is at it again. Denver has been exposed by tight ends at times this year, averaging over 65 yards against per game from the position and the most TE touchdowns in the league. They've been easily exposed by most of the good tight ends in football, with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce racked up 182 receiving yards in his two games against Denver.

It's pretty impressive that the Broncos have managed to be an around .500 team this year, considering they can't stop tight ends or running backs.

Best Fade: TEs vs Browns
Do not bet on a tight end's OVER against the Browns this season. Cleveland's stellar defense has locked up the position at a historic rate, allowing over 100 fewer yards to the position than any other squad.

Even the best TEs in football have struggled against Cleveland, with George Kittle posting just one yard and Pat Freiermuth accounting for two in matchups against the Browns.

Team Defensive Report Breakdown

Football is a game of matchups. Some teams can lock down tight ends while others are easily exploited by a good ground game.
