Seahawks vs. Football Team Player Props
Taylor Heinicke o242.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Taylor Heinicke has been sensational in two games since Washington’s bye week, throwing for four touchdowns and zero interceptions, while completing 77.8 percent of his pass attempts. Tonight, he gets an extremely favorable matchup against a Seattle secondary unit that has allowed a 94.9 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks this fall. The Seahawks have allowed 7.2 yards per attempt through the air this season. By that metric, Heinicke would need 34 pass attempts on Monday Night Football to hit his over prop. He has totaled at least 32 pass attempts in six of his last seven games, and at least 37 pass attempts in four of those contests. Factor in that Seattle has one of the better run defenses in the NFL and this becomes a great spot to buy stock in Heinicke. Expect a pass-heavy game script to result in the over in this spot.
Tyler Lockett o65.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
The Washington secondary unit has been one of the worst in the NFL this fall. Only the hapless New York Jets have allowed a higher passer rating to opposing quarterbacks in 2021. Kendall Fuller is the lone talented cornerback on this roster, and he figures to shadow D.K. Metcalf for the majority of this contest. Lockett is likely to see a significant amount of snaps against William Jackson III, who Pro Football Focus has graded as the 14th-worst player at his position this year. Seattle could struggle to run the ball against a Washington defensive line that is allowing the ninth-fewest yards-per-carry of any team in the league. Wilson is going to need to throw the ball to somebody tonight, and his best option is likely to be Lockett.
Antonio Gibson u82.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-110)
Antonio Gibson has looked much healthier since Washington’s bye week, but he was still listed as a limited practice participant each day this week as he continues to nurse a shin injury. Though Gibson has played extremely well over the last two games, this is simply too high of a number against a tough opposing run defense. The Seahawks are allowing the fifth-fewest yards-per-carry in the entire NFL this fall. Gibson has hit this number only twice since the opening week of the season, and one of those games included an outlier, 73-yard reception that went for a touchdown. That catch resulted in Gibson’s only game this season with more than 20 receiving yards. If Gibson is going to go over this number tonight, he will need to cover the majority of it on the ground—which is going to be difficult in a likely pass-heavy game script.
D.K. Metcalf – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+127)
D.K. Metcalf has the fourth-most receiving touchdowns in the NFL in 2021. However, he has failed to find pay dirt in each of the last two games since Russell Wilson returned from injury. Some bettors will point to a combined 57 receiving yards over the last two weeks as evidence of poor chemistry between Metcalf and Wilson. Yet, Metcalf and Wilson have experienced few issues in their time together in Seattle in recent years. Metcalf still saw eight targets in each of the last two games. Though he draws a tough matchup with Kendall Fuller this evening, Metcalf is still going to be a threat in the red zone. At plus-money (+127 at Caesars is the best price I could find), this is a wager worth considering.
