Bengals vs. Cowboys – NFL Player Props
- Cooper Rush Over/Under 22.5 Completions
- CeeDee Lamb Over/Under 5.5 Receptions
- Chase Brown Over/Under 15.5 Yards Longest Rush
Cooper Rush OVER 22.5 Completions (-115, FanDuel)
Across the last couple of weeks, Cooper Rush has the quickest average time to throw in the entire NFL. The Cowboys have at least temporarily remedied Rush’s turnover problems and sack avoidance issues by revamping their passing attack to feature a number of quick, short looks near the line of scrimmage. Rush ranks 25th out of 34 quarterbacks (min. 23 dropbacks) since Week 12, which is related to him ranking 11th in total completions. Russell Wilson had 29 completions against the Bengals in Week 13. Rush should be competitive at this market number tonight.
CeeDee Lamb OVER 5.5 Receptions (-188, FanDuel)
CeeDee Lamb had only 2 receptions on 6 targets last week against the Giants, but his lack of rapport with Cooper Rush hasn’t been an ongoing issue. In the 4 games that Rush has been Dallas’ leading passer, Lamb has 6+ receptions 3 times and has only a single game with fewer than 10 targets. Cincinnati’s secondary unit is missing a pair of starters tonight, which only further increases the likelihood of Lamb finding some open space on primetime.
Chase Brown OVER 15.5 Yards Longest Rush (-110, FanDuel)
Chase Brown has at least 1 carry for 16+ yards in 8 of his last 10 games, with the exceptions during that stretch coming against a stout Philadelphia defense and a strong Baltimore run defense. Dallas has been improved against the run in recent weeks, but they have still been vulnerable to big plays on the ground, ranking 7th in success rate but only 31st in EPA/play since EDGE Micah Parsons returned to a normal workload in Week 11. Brown should have a number of opportunities to get the job done.
