NFL Week 9 Props + $1000 GIVEAWAY

There’s a $1000 giveaway for the Underdog entry this week. Get in on the giveaway.

Jahmyr Gibbs (Higher than 4.5 Targets): A massive part of the Lions’ offense, and target line is underpriced compared to receptions.
Kenneth Walker III (Higher than 90.5 Rushing Yards): Favorable volume spot against a depleted Jets front seven.
Bryce Young (Higher than 5.5 Longest Rush): Historically and via matchup metrics, a strong scramble spot against Denver.
Kaelon Black (Higher than 12.5 Longest Rush): Expected to shoulder major rush work with SF receiving corps banged up yet still massiver favorites.
Ashton Jeanty (Lower than 9.5 Longest Rush): Limited rush equity going against one of the top run defenses. More likely to do damage via the passing game than on ground.
Drake Maye (Lower than 19.55 Fantasy Points): Tough test against an underrated Packers pass defense without key weapons.
Alvin Kamara (Lower than 9.5 Longest Rush): Fading his longest run potential given recent lack of explosive juice. You may say: But Pat, Kamara may get increased opportunity with Miller getting cut and Donaldson out and better push up front with Kelvin Banks returning at lack tackle. I say, please. Kamara is trash in the running game.
Chase Brown (Higher than 50.5 Rushing Yards): Great matchup against Atlanta for volume and explosive potential. Eventually, he needs to get going on the ground
