Betting Insight: Week 17 Sunday Slate

Cardinals vs Bengals: This could be a shootout. Chase Brown ATD is -170 and Ja’Marr ATD is -150, so I wouldn’t touch either of those personally. Rolling with Higgins ATD (+100) and Michael Wilson ATD (+170), .25u on Jacoby Brissett ATD (+420), .25u on Ja’Marr Chase 2 TD’s (+430) as longshots.


Jags vs Colts: The Jags have an awful pass defense. Rolling with Alec Pierce over 29.5 rec yards, .5u on Pierce 50+ yards (+225), .25u on 70+ yards (+500), .5u on Travis Etienne 2 TD’s (+290).


Seahawks vs Panthers: This Seahawks defense can be tough. Nothing pregame for me here.


Buccaneers vs Dolphins: I’m rolling with Darren Waller 30+ rec yards for the Dolphins. He’s covered this line in back to back games and I like it again here. For ATD’s, I’m rolling with De’Von Achane and Sean Tucker (+180).


Patriots vs Jets: TreVeyon Henderson ATD. Don't like much else.


Saints vs Titans: Here’s a cool statistic: Tony Pollard has recorded three straight games with 100+ rush yards. I’m taking him for 60+ rush yards here. .5u on Pollard 90+ rush yards, .5u on Pollard ATD (+170). For longshots, I’m taking Audric Estime ATD (+320) for .25u and Tyjae Spears ATD (+310) for .25u.


Steelers vs Browns: Kenneth Gainwell over 66.5 rush + rec yards, Gainwell ATD (+180). Browns defense ATD for a longshot (+1200)


Giants vs Raiders: Jaxson Dart vs Geno Smith. I'm going to keep taking Tyrone Tracy rush + rec yards until it loses. Rolling with Tyrone Tracy Jr over 76.5 rush + rec yards, .5u on Michael Mayer ATD (+290) as a longshot. Ashton Jeanty could have a big game here.


Eagles vs Bills: If there’s any game for Saquon Barkley to go nuclear, it’s this one. Rolling with Barkley ATD (+100) for the Eagles. .5u on Jalen Hurts ATD (+120), .5u on Josh Allen ATD (+120).


Bears vs 49ers: Jauan Jennings ATD (+105) for the 49ers, Colston Loveland ATD (+200) for the Bears

Ja’Marr Chase - Ja’Marr has quietly had back to back games 100+ rec yard games, but he hasn’t found the endzone in quite some time. That may change today vs this Cardinals defense. Vegas has this total at 53.5, so clearly they’re expecting some offense on both sides. I could see Chase recording 100+ yards and a TD today, making him a no brainer-add for fantasy. 


Trey McBride - It may be silly to double up here - or it’ll pay dividends. If we see an offensive explosion from both sides, it’ll probably feature a heavy dose of Trey McBride as well. The Bengals are terrible at defending tight ends. I wouldn’t be surprised if he reaches 100 yards on the day. Stash him. 


Saquon Barkley - Saquon’s had a pretty quiet fantasy year. He’s not really an elite PPR back, even though he could be, and Hurts tends to vulture his touchdowns. I think that changes today. This Bills defense is horrendous - if there’s any game where he’s due for a breakout performance and multiple touchdowns, it’s this one. 


James Cook - I also like Cook for a fantasy play here. This game could easily turn into a shootout, and I like Cook’s chances to get involved. We should see a heavy dose of the run on both sides in this one. 


Christian McCaffrey - Another player with crazy projected volume tonight. The game total stands at 52.5. If this one goes how Vegas thinks it will, we’ll see a ton of checkdowns and redzone opportunities thrown CMC’s way. He should cash his rush + rec relatively easily against this defense, making him a great add for your lineup. 


Jaxon Smith-Njigba - I’m expecting a 100 yard game here from JSN. I’m a little concerned that he may not see the usage I’m expecting, but his floor this season is most receivers’ ceiling. Consider adding him to round out your Super Slam six.
