PrizePicks Plays: Eagles vs. Buccaneers
- Mike Evans – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns
- Baker Mayfield – More Than 32.5 Pass Attempts
- Quez Watkins – More Than 15.5 Receiving Yards
Mike Evans – 0.5 Touchdowns
Right off the bat, we’re going with one of the increased payout “Demon” plays on NFL PrizePicks. Evans has always been Baker Mayfield favorite target in the red zone, evidenced by his 13 touchdowns this year. Tonight, Evans faces one of the worst passing defenses in football in the Eagles. The Bucs are 3-point underdogs in this one and should have plenty of opportunity to throw the ball in a game that could easily turn into a shootout. I’m expecting a massive day for Mayfield, Evans, and the entire Tampa Bay passing offense.
Play: Evans – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns
Baker Mayfield – 32.5 Pass Attempts
Baker Mayfield projects for more than 33 pass attempts tonight against the Eagles, according to the RotoGrinders projections, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see 40+ tonight. The Eagles are terrible against the pass and favored in this game, so I’m expecting to see Mayfield slinging the ball all night long. Mayfield only threw less than 30 attempts in 5 games all season, and tonight projects perfectly for this to be one of his biggest passing games of the season.
Play: Mayfield – More Than 32.5 Pass Attempts
Quez Watkins – 15.5 Receiving Yards
Without A.J. Brown in the lineup, Julio Jones, Olamide Zaccheaus and Quez Watkins will all see additional snaps. However, I’m expecting Watkins to be the primary beneficiary. The speedy wide receiver can easily eclipse this mark on PrizePicks with a single reception. He projects for just shy of 20 receiving yards in the RotoGrinders projections, but I’m expecting Quez to be closer to the 50 receiving-yard plateau tonight. The Buccaneers are a pass-funnel offense that has struggled with the deep ball all season, and they’ll face one of their toughest challenges of the season tonight vs. Jalen Hurts.
