Minty Bets and Matt Harmon offer up their favorite player props for Week 6.
Video Transcript
LIZ LOZA: --in on some player props. Guys, what do you have?
MATT HARMON: Absolutely. I love to see Jamal Agnew playing the role that they had pegged for the guy they took in the first round this year! Give me a break, Jags. It's mind numbing.
So let's move on from the Jacksonville Jaguars, and let's talk some player props. Minty, love doing this segment with you every single week. Why don't you kick us off with your first one here.
MINTY BETS: OK, this is going to a kicker who got a little bit of attention last week. Evan McPherson-- over 1 and 1/2 field goals. This is even money. It's plus-100.
Now, to say that the Lions defense will hold off the Bengals long and far enough for McPherson to kick two field goals is kind of a stretch. But I think Detroit will surprise us today, and I say Evan McPherson will not miss any field goals today. I like the over in this.
MATT HARMON: I love it-- Minty talking about kickers. I'm gonna be super safe here and just talk about one of the stars of the NFL in Tyreek Hill. Pretty light here-- 81 and 1/2. I'm going over on this one in his receiving yards.
Look, Tyreek Hill is the most explosive player in the NFL. We know that. And Washington's defense has been blowing coverages left and right all year. I love Ron Rivera coming out and saying like, oh yeah, the defense is fine. It's just like four or five plays per game that we're really screwing up.
Well, those screw-ups are leading to like huge plays and touchdowns. And is there like anybody else who could really take advantage of that more than Tyreek Hill? No. I mean, I would be stunned if he doesn't get in the end zone once today at least and clear. Like, I could see this being one of those like games he had against Tampa last year where he goes like over 200 yards, scores a couple of times. Like, I really love Tyreek Hill in this match-up.
MINTY BETS: I like that one too. I'm going to go over to Nelson Agholor. His receptions set at 3 and a 1/2. He's averaged about three per game, and today he's going up against the Cowboys.
Oh, the Cowboys? Yes, the Cowboys, who are allowing the most passing yards per game. Gonna be tricky but I believe he can reach four. All he needs is 4 catches. So I like it.
MATT HARMON: Yeah, definitely. I think Nelson Agholor's not the worst flex play in the world here for fantasy football too in a potentially high scoring game as the Patriots play a negative game script. Well, Minty's talking about kickers and is taking risks on like the Patriots second best receiver. I love that she's playing risky today.
I'm gonna stay safe once again and go with one of the other stars of the NFL in Lamar Jackson. I'm gonna take the over on his rushing yards here-- 69 and 1/2 at minus 115. Look, this match-up with the LA Chargers-- we talk about it basically every week. They take away those explosive pass plays, but they absolutely are gettable on the ground.
27th in explosive run rate allowed right now. And look, you look at that Ravens backfield. It's Latavius Murray. It's Ty'Son Williams basically like throwing on the shelf. It's Devonta Freeman.
Like, it's not the Ravens run game of old, but Lamar Jackson isn't just the Lamar Jackson of old. He is a better, more improved version of himself this year. Like, if somebody's going to exploit this Chargers run defense, Minty, I think it's got to be Lamar Jackson. But is this line a little too high, or what do you think?
MINTY BETS: I don't think so. Yeah, always got to take the overs on Lamar's rushing yards. So I really like this play, especially against that Chargers run defense who is pretty bad at defending against the run.
MATT HARMON: Absolutely. Well, Minty and I will be back later here on Yahoo Sports 11:30 AM Pacific, 2:30 PM Eastern. We are gonna be doing our Yahoo Sportsbook Live show we do it every single week. It's awesome.
Make sure you send your questions to @yahoosportsbook and @yahoofantasy. We'll be doing the live bets. We'll be doing the upcoming games. And Minty, I'm 20 and 10 on my player props this year. So absolutely make sure you come back for that one right here on Yahoo Sports. Again, I'm probably due for a big crash, so make sure you come watch that.
