1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, I'm Pat Fitzmorris, managing editor of Fantasy Pros 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: and Betting Pros, and I am going to run through 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: my favorite player props for the Divisional round of the 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: NFL Playoffs. All right, let's get to it, and just 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: a reminder that all lines are courtesy of DraftKings as 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: of Thursday afternoon. Here we go. Let's start with Brock Purdy, 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers quarterback under thirty point five pass attempts. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: Purdy has made six starts for the forty nine Ers 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: in place of Jimmy Garoppolo after garppolo season ending injury, 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: and Purdy has thrown more than thirty passes in only 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: one of those six starts. He's averaged twenty five point 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: seven pass attempts in those games. He's going to match 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: up against the Cowboys this week, and this is going 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: to be Perdy's biggest NFL tests so far in his 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: six previous starts, and in fact, in his seven previous 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: games if we want to include the game where he 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: replaced Jimmy Garoppolo very early in the game against Miami, 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: he has not faced a defense. The ranks in the 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: top twelve of Football Outsiders DVOA against the pass, so 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: he's not face to top twelve pass defense, yet Dallas 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: ranks number three in DVA against the pass. The Cowboys 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: pass rush has generated a league high twenty five point 23 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: six percent pressure rates they can get after the passer. 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: And with linebacker Leyton vander Esh back for the Cowboys, 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: vander ash missed Week sixteen, seventeen eighteen, and when he 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: was out, Micah Parsons was not free to rush the 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: passer as often as the Cowboys would like. Vander Esh 28 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: is back and now they are turning Micah Parsons loose. 29 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: That's trouble for Rock Perdy, who's going to have one 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: of the best pass rushers coming after him all day. 31 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are going to try 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: to neutralize that pass rush by running the ball early 33 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: and often. Yeah, this is a dangerous spot for a 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: seventh round rookie quarterback. I think the forty nine ers 35 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: run it a lot to try to minimize the pressure 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: on Party keep the Dallas pass rush at bay. I 37 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: don't think they want to put this game in the 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: hands of their inexperienced quarterback. So Brock Purty under thirty 39 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: and a half pass attempts in this one. Trevor Lawrence 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: over two hundred and forty three point five passing yards. 41 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: The total for Jaguars Chiefs is fifty three points and 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City is an eight and a half point favorite, 43 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: meaning the implied total for Kansas City in this game 44 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: is thirty point seventy five points. If things go according 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: to the Las Vegas script here, the Jaguars are going 46 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: to be chasing in this game, and if they're chasing, 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: that means they're throwing aggressively in all likelihood, trying to 48 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: keep pace with the high flying Chiefs. That was the 49 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: way it worked out when the Jaguars visited the Chiefs 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: in Week ten. Kansas City won that game twenty seven 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: to seventeen. Lawrence had forty pass attempts in that game 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: and threw four to two hundred and fifty nine yards. 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have faced the third most pass attempts during 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: the regular season, and Lawrence averaged two forty one point 55 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: nine passing yards a game, just under this total during 56 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: the regular season. But I think we're going to see 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: the Jaguars forced to throw more than usual this week. 58 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: So Trevor Lawrence over two hundred and forty three point 59 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: five passing yards Joe Burrow under two hundred and seventy 60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: nine point five passing yards. Rarely would I consider betting 61 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: against Burrow. I don't like betting unders with him because 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: I think he's awesome. But he is going to be 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: playing behind a patchwork offensive line this week against the 64 00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Bills Sunday in Buffalo. Starting right tackle Laale Collins out 65 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: for the year with the torn ACL and MCL. Starting 66 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: left tackle Jonah Williams dislocated his kneecap last week against 67 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens. He's going to be out. Starting right tackle 68 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: Alex Kappa. He's got a severe ankle injury. I saw 69 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: a replay of that ankle injury this morning. I don't 70 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: think he's playing this week. So yeah, that's down three 71 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: offensive linemen. And last week with all those offensive linemen 72 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: banged up, you know, two of them leaving the game. 73 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: Last week, Burrow threw for only two hundred and nine 74 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: yards against the Ravens, and he averaged six point five 75 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt, which compares to seven point four 76 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: per attempt during the regular season. So yeah, the Bengals 77 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: passing game was limited with all those offensive linemen Hurts. 78 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: We saw Burrow throwing much shorter passes, not really attacking 79 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: down field like Jamar Chase had nine receptions in that 80 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: game but averaged under ten yards per catch. I think 81 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: Burrow is to have trouble generating big plays in the 82 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: passing game this week, so under two hundred and seventy 83 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: nine point five yards seems like a really good percentage 84 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: play this week. I'll get to the rest of my 85 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: favorite props for the Divisional Round in just a minute, 86 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: but first, whether you're looking for access to exclusive picks, 87 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: top rated player props, or custom analysis of your own 88 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: betting performances, Betting Pros Premium has the tools to help 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: you cash more bats, plain and simple.

All right, back to the player props trays 92 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: CTN under seventy point five rushing yards and this one 93 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: really goes hand in hand with the over on Trevor 94 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: Lawrence's passing yardage. With the Jaguars eight and a half 95 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: point underdogs, there's a good chance they're going to be 96 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: in chase mode playing catchup against the Chiefs, which would 97 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: mean a passa game script, and again we did see 98 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: that when the Jaguars played the Chiefs in Week ten. 99 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs won by ten points, twenty seven to seventeen, and 100 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: Etn had eleven carries for forty five yards in that game. 101 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: Kansas City's defense has been a pass funnel all season, 102 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: largely because opponents are in catchup mode so often. The 103 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs faced the fourth fewest rushing attempts by running backs 104 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: during the regular season and gave up the eighth fewest 105 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: rushing yards to running backs. Travis Etn under seventeen and 106 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: a half rushing yards Kadarius Tony of the Chiefs under 107 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: thirty one point five receiving yards. When Tony last faced 108 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in Week ten, he had four catches for 109 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: fifty seven yards and a touchdown. It was his second 110 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: highest yardage total in his seven games with the Chiefs, 111 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: But in the five games he's played since, Tony has 112 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: caught eight passes for one hundred and two yards, averaging 113 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: only two targets a game during that span. He just 114 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: has not been very involved in the Kansas City passing game, 115 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: and Tony played a season high twenty eight snaps when 116 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: he played the Jaguars back in Week ten, but he 117 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: has not played more than nineteen snaps in any game since, 118 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: and he's averaged just fourteen point four snaps over his 119 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: last five games. So with a few opportunities as Tony 120 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: has been getting, I think it seems pretty unlikely he 121 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: is going to exceed thirty one and a half receiving yards. 122 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: AJ Brown over seventy one point five receiving yards. This 123 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: is a momentum selection. AJ Brown has cleared this number 124 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: seventy one and a half in four straight games and 125 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: in five of the last six. Two of his last 126 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: six games were against the Giants. He had four catches 127 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: for seventy yards and one touchdown in one of those games, 128 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: and four catches for ninety five yards and no touchdowns 129 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: in one of those games, so one out of two 130 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: hitting this number against the job. But since the beginning 131 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: of December, Brown has averaged nine point eight targets, five 132 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: point eight receptions, and one hundred and ten point eight 133 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: receiving yards per game. He has been a monster for 134 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles down the stretch. In his two most recent 135 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: playoff performances, Brown had six catches for eighty three yards 136 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Against the Ravens in January of twenty 137 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: twenty one, and he had five catches for one hundred 138 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: and forty two yards and a touchdown against the Bengals 139 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty two. Mind you, that was 140 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans, who have a far less potent 141 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: offense than the Philadelphia Eagles. I really like aj Brown 142 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: over seventy one and a half receiving yards against the 143 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: Giants this weekend, and finally, for a third straight week, 144 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Haydenhurst under on receiving yard edge. 145 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: It's set at thirty three and a half this week. 146 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Hearst has played nine games this season in which Bengals 147 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: why receiver Jamar Chase and t Higgins have both been active, 148 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: and he has finished with under thirty receiving yards in 149 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: six of those nine games. Hurst is facing a Buffalo 150 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: defense that has been stingy toward tight ends this season, 151 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: allowing just thirty eight and a half receiving yards per 152 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: game to tight ends during the regular season. It's possible that, 153 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: with the Bengals missing all of these offensive linemen, including 154 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: both of their starting offensive tackles, that Hurst runs fewer 155 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: routes than usual and is asked to stay in and 156 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: chip block against the Buffalo edge rushers this week, So 157 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: possible he's not as busy as a pass catcher this week, 158 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: and I like the under on Hayden Hurst at thirty 159 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: three point five receiving yards. So let's recap this week's selections. 160 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: Brock Purty under thirty point five passing attempts, Trevor Lawrence 161 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: over two hundred and forty three point five passing yards, 162 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow under two hundred and seventy nine point five 163 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: passing yards, Travis Etn under seventy point five rushing yards, 164 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony under thirty one point five receiving yards, AJ 165 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: Brown over seventy one point five receiving yards, and Hayden 166 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: Hurst under thirty three point five receiving yards. All right, 167 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: my friends, good luck to you with all your wagers 168 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: this weekend, and let's hope the divisional round as entertaining 169 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: as Super wild Card weekend was last week. Good luck everyone,
