Browns vs. Steelers Player Props for MNF
- Elijah Moore Anytime Touchdown Scorer
- George Pickens Anytime Touchdown Scorer
- Deshaun Watson Less than 1.5 Pass + Rush + Receiving Touchdowns
Elijah Moore Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+325), BetMGM
Elijah Moore has, arguably, the most favorable matchup of any wide receiver on the board tonight for either team in this game. Moore lined up in the slot for 29 of 51 offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ primary defender in the slot last weekend was Chandon Sullivan. Sullivan has allowed six career touchdowns and a 68.7% completion rate in his career. He has struggled mightily across the last three seasons, with plenty of yards after the catch allowed and a fairly high rate of missed tackles. This is good value on Moore, especially if Amari Cooper ends up on the sidelines.
George Pickens Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+300), PointsBet
Diontae Johnson has already been ruled out for this evening’s contest, leaving George Pickens as the top receiving threat in the passing game for Kenny Pickett. Pickens has a tough matchup tonight against a strong Cleveland secondary unit, but he has a two-inch height advantage on Greg Newsome II and a four-inch height advantage on Denzel Ward, who are Cleveland’s two primary out-wide cornerbacks. At significant plus money, this is worth a roll of the dice.

Deshaun Watson Less Than 1.5 Pass + Rush + Receiving Touchdowns, PrizePicks
Deshaun Watson looked good, but not great in Week 1 against a bad Cincinnati secondary unit. He can get a pass for some of his poor throws due to the inclement weather, but other throws that he missed should be made in all environmental circumstances. Heading into Week 2, Watson will be down his All-Pro right tackle due to injury, with a rookie replacement keeping TJ Watt at bay. Do not be surprised if Watson struggles again on Monday.
