Rachaad White (TB) Over 13.5 Rush Attempts (-125)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

This is a bet that may be sweaty but I like it! Bucky Irving will definitely get his handoffs too but I’m expecting White to get the bulk of the carries! He is 1-1 on hitting this prop but his miss did come against the Detroit Lions, who teams know not to run against. He now gets a Broncos team who just allowed 17 handoffs to Najee Harris and 20 to Kenneth Walker in Week 1. I expect Tampa to lead in this one and 14 handoffs should be easy if the game script goes in this direction. White doesn’t even need to be efficient with his running, he just needs to carry it 14 times. Lets roll!

Dalton Schultz (HOU) Over 2.5 Receptions (-122)

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

This is a sneaky one. Schultz is only 1-1 in hitting this prop but will now be tasked with more responsibility. Brevin Jordan tore his ACL so he will be out for some time. With that news, Schultz should only expect his already-high snap count to increase. The tight end faces a Minnesota team who just allowed Kittle to torch them for 7 catches. With the attention being on Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, we could see Schultz get very open. Joe Mixon is also banged up and if that’s the case then Houston may need CJ Stroud to be more active than usual throwing the ball in this one. I’m a believer in Schultz’s talent and think 3 catches for him is too low of a line. He had 59 catches in 15 games last season, averaging 3.9 a game.
