Week 2 Recap 1-4
Tough Week 2. Cordarrelle Patterson recovered a negative 7-yard fumble to derail his chances at hitting the prop, and Dalton got injured. Such is life in the prop game. We are on to Week 3.

Cordarrelle Patterson Over 21.5 Rushing Yards- Loss
Najee Harris More Rushing Yards than Damien Harris- Loss

Week 3 Plays
Jared Goff Over 271.5 Passing Yards
Jared Goff surprisingly has exceeded expectations thus far this season. This week, he is taking on a Ravens defense that is absolutely decimated with injuries as Marcus Peters is out for the year, Tavon Young and Jimmy Smith are both banged up. This is a Ravens defense that allowed 435 yards to Derek Carr and 343 yards to Patrick Mahomes II last week. Goff is worse than both of those quarterbacks, but he is averaging 292 yards passing so far this season against Green Bay and San Francisco. With the Lions having almost no defense to speak of, expect this game to be a shootout with Goff throwing to keep the Lions in the game.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Under 75.5 Total Yards Rushing + Receiving
This is a curious one as DraftKings is expecting Clyde Edwards-Helaire to bounce back after two very rough performances. Edwards-Helaire has not topped 75.5 yards this season as he surprisingly has not been involved in the passing game with just three targets on the year. From a rushing standpoint, he’s yet to find success averaging just 3.3 yards-per-carry and is not a guy who is going to see 18 touches, he’s likely going to see 13-14 touches. Could he break out this week? It is possible, but it seems like it is less than 50% to do so. The Chargers are a defense that did struggle last week against Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott which is likely the reason that this number is as high as it is, but with this being a divisional game and with Edwards-Helaire struggling this one seems like it is going under.
Carlos Hyde Under 28.5 Rushing + Receiving
After going through the Week 1 dilemma where Carlos Hyde actually started the game for Jacksonville, Urban Meyer is starting to wise up. Carlos Hyde’s snap count went from 25 in Week 1 to 14 in Week 2, with just two carries last week in which he did nothing with them amounting just 7 yards. Hyde is not a dynamic running back in that he struggles in the passing game, so with the Jaguars being 8 point underdogs against the Cardinals, Hyde will quickly be game scripted out of this game.
Most Rushing Yards- Joe Mixon Over Najee Harris
Najee Harris is off to a much slower start than anticipated, and a lot of it has to do with the offensive line of Pittsburgh. Cincinnati’s defense has been the better team against the run this season as they shut down Dalvin Cook and David Montgomery holding the pair of running backs to an equal stat line of 61 yards on 20 carries. Harris has only averaged 13 carries per game, which is a big concern for him this week. Meanwhile Joe Mixon is averaging 24.5 carries per game this year. If you can get a running back who is going to get potentially 10+ more carries in a game, that is a prop you take all day long.
Justin Fields Under 53.5 Rushing Yards
There is a lot of hope that Justin Fields will become a transcendent player for Chicago. While he was a good running quarterback in college, we have yet to see that transfer over to the NFL. In Week 2, he ran the ball 10 times amounting just 31 yards as he looked much slower than his reported 4.4 speed. This week he gets the Browns defense that is going to make his life incredibly difficult to scramble outside the pocket as they have two of the best edge players in football in Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney. This could be a long day for Fields and the Bears offense.
