PAYOUT: +5355, DraftKings
DRAFTKINGSCeeDee Lamb 100+ Receiving Yards (+130)
The Cowboys offense never really got going in their season opener against the Browns, but part of the reason for that is because they never really needed to put their foot on the gas. Dallas’ defense and special teams gave the team an early lead, which led to a much more conservative offensive game plan in the 2nd half. Consequently, that limited the production of players like Lamb.
Returning home for Week 2, it’s possible we see Lamb much more involved in the game script. Notably, Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has not practiced in any capacity this week, making it unlikely that we see him on the field on Sunday. Lamb should also see a lot of work in the slot against Alontae Taylor, who is one of the worst slot coverage cornerbacks in the NFL. This matchup has big-game potential written all over it.
Amon-Ra St. Brown 100+ Receiving Yards (+190)
St. Brown was another Week 1 victim of the fact that his quarterback didn’t play in the preseason. And similar to Lamb and the Cowboys, Detroit led for most of their Week 1 affair against the Rams as well, which didn’t necessitate a heavy dose of throwing the football.
This weekend could be a much different story for the Lions, who will be hosting Baker Mayfield and the offensively-capable Buccaneers. Fresh off of a 37-point performance against the Commanders, Mayfield and company are more than capable of putting points on the board in this matchup. A higher-scoring game should mean plenty of looks for St. Brown, with his yards-after-the-catch potential giving him a shot at hitting the century mark.
Derrick Henry 100+ Rushing Yards (+310)
Henry was largely unimpressive in his Baltimore debut in Week 1, but that had more to do with game script than anything else. Trailing for most of the contest, Henry saw a reduced snap share and ended the day with only 46 rushing yards on 13 attempts.
In Week 2, Henry should see a larger workload, facing a Raiders defense that allowed 4 explosive runs and 161 total rushing yards to Chargers running backs in their season-opening loss. Prior to last weekend, J.K. Dobbins had only 4 career games with 100+ rushing yards. Henry had 4 games with 100+ rushing yards last season alone.
If Henry sees 20 carries in a positive game script, this is a very realistic number for him to reach.
Cooper Kupp 100+ Receiving Yards (+140)
In Week 1, Kupp was targeted 21 times. No other receiver across the entire NFL was targeted more than 12 times. Heading into Week 2, the Rams are once again thin at the wide receiver position, with news that Puka Nacua has been placed on injured reserve. Kupp has 100+ receiving yards in 12 of his last 19 games without Nacua on the field. Facing an Arizona secondary unit that is completely devoid of talent, Kupp could have another impressive showing.
