In this weekly series, the crew will break down their top plays for the day and tell you why you should target them! All the fun teams are on bye in Week 10, but the fun on Underdog doesn’t stop! Let’s take a look at some Underdog plays to win ourselves some money.
Jordan Addison HIGHER than 47.5 Receiving Yards
Jordan Addison
Minnesota Vikings • WR • #3
I know that J.J. McCarthy only threw for 143 yards last week. However, the Vikings are more than likely going to have to throw the ball a lot to keep pace with the Ravens now that Lamar is back. In that case, higher than 47.5 yards is a very reasonable expectation for Jordan Addison. He quietly finds a way to always produce week in and week out, even playing next to Justin Jefferson. Addison could even get this stat on a single catch if luck smiles his direction today.
Emeka Egbuka HIGHER than 5.5 Receptions
Emeka Egbuka
Tampa Bay Buccaneers • WR • #2
Before the bye, Baker Mayfield was absolutely peppering Egbuka with targets, but they could not get on the same page. With the bye now past, and Egbuka healthier, there’s no reason to believe that the targets are going to stop. The only variable that needs to change in our favor is that more of those targets connect, just 6 times to be exact. In a projected close game against another good team, Baker will need to throw to Egbuka early and often if the Bucs want to win the game.
Kyren Williams HIGHER Than 15.5 Rush Attempts
Kyren Williams
Los Angeles Rams • RB • #23
The 49ers defense (and team in general) is riddled with injuries, and they are once again starting Mac Jones at QB this week. Los Angeles is on a roll as of late, and their offense is firing on all cylinders. While they certainly can and will throw the ball, they are also perfectly content to hand the ball to Kyren Williams and slow the game down, especially if they jump out to a relatively large lead early. Even if they don’t, Sean McVay is more than happy to continually establish it with Kyren.
De’Von Achane HIGHER than 15.5 Yard Longest Rush
De'Von Achane
Miami Dolphins • RB • #28
This play is purely based on how bad the Buffalo Bills’ run defense is. They have been absolutely gashed by running backs all season, and Achane has the speed and explosiveness to turn any run into a 40+ yard gain just like that. It also sounds like there could be some weather concerns in this game, which also lends to Achane getting more rushing attempts and more chances at going over this stat on Underdog.
