Jen Piacenti’s top picks for NFL Week 6

We’ve had a lot of fun with our player props this season, and week 6 is off to a great start with some ‘over’ bets cashing in!

Below are some of my favorite player props for Sunday. More props may be added before kick-off, so be sure to check back on Sunday morning.

Stefon Diggs over 5.5 receptions (-120) at DraftKings

With Nico Collins on the IR, Diggs will have the primary receiving role. Diggs is Stroud’s first read 26% of the time, and he is second on the team in receiving yards (315), catches (31) and touchdowns (2).

The Patriots have allowed the fourth-most receptions to receivers in the slot this season, with nearly seven per game.

He will be Stroud’s regular point of contact on Sunday. His TD prop at +155 is also attractive.

CeeDee Lamb over 84.5 receiving yards (-114) at FanDuel

Over 6.5 catches (-130) at FanDuel

I’ve been waiting to play Lamb’s Over Props this season, and it’s finally hit the right spot. The Cowboys have the highest game total of the week (52) at home against the Lions.

The Lions have allowed a career-high 104 receiving yards and 10 catches per game to receivers in the slot, where Lamb has run 50% of his routes this season. Lamb had 13 catches, 227 yards and a touchdown when the Cowboys faced the Lions in Week 17 last season.

Dak Prescott’s 191 passing attempts and 1,424 passing yards are second only to Geno Smith. Expect Dak and Lamb to connect early and often on Sunday.

Tyler Allgeier over 37.5 rushing yards (-114) at FanDuel

Allgeier is averaging 7.5 yards per play over the last four games, and this season he is averaging 5.4 yards per carry. He is still the backup to Robinson, but Robinson is dealing with a hamstring injury and this matchup against the Panthers should give both of them room to run.

The Panthers have allowed an average of 120 rushing yards per game to running backs, along with nine total touchdowns. The game script should also favor Allgeier. With the Falcons favored by six, Allgeier could help run out the clock in the fourth quarter.

Zach Ertz over 27.5 receiving yards (-114) at FanDuel
Zach Ertz over 3.5 receptions (+116)

The Ravens have allowed an average of more than six catches and 73 receiving yards per game, with a 76.7% catch rate. Ertz has averaged five targets per game this year, and he has exceeded those props in two of the five.

Jayden Daniels over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+130) at FanDuel

Daniels has surpassed that prop just once this season, against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he’s in a good spot to do it again on Sunday against the Ravens, who have allowed nine passing touchdowns this year.

Running back Brian Robinson, Jr. is an in-match decision and the expectation is that this match will be a shootout (total 52). That’s good for Daniels — who has an NFL-best 77% completion rate this season — to successfully connect with his receivers in the end zone.

The game odds are updated periodically and are subject to change.
