Rams at Lions – NFL Player Props
- Cooper Kupp Over/Under 66.5 Receiving Yards
- Amon-Ra St. Brown Over/Under 83.5 Receiving Yards
- Sam LaPorta Over/Under 53.5 Receiving Yards
Cooper Kupp OVER 66.5 Receiving Yards (-113), FanDuel
Cooper Kupp missed the beginning of last season due to injury, but he still flashed plenty of his trademarked big play ability after he returned to the field. He had 118 receiving yards against the Eagles, 148 receiving yards against the Cardinals, 115 receiving yards against the Ravens, and 111 receiving yards against the Commanders, all in the final 12 regular season games of the year. On Sunday night, Kupp gets a good matchup against Amik Robertson, who finished 58th out of 126 cornerbacks in coverage grade in 2023, per PFF.
Amon-Ra St. Brown OVER 83.5 Receiving Yards (-115), DraftKings
This is a tall number for any receiver regardless of matchup. That being said, Amon-Ra St. Brown cleared it in 13 of 19 games last season, including the playoffs. He went over this number in 7 of his team’s 9 home games, with his misses being games in which he had 77 receiving yards.
Tonight, he gets a great matchup in the slot against Cobie Durant, who finished last year ranked 98th out of 126 cornerbacks in PFF coverage grade. St. Brown should be heavily involved in the offense on a weekly basis, with little depth behind him. If he misses on this number, it’s not likely to be by much.
Sam LaPorta OVER 53.5 Receiving Yards (-110), FanDuel
Once Sam LaPorta got going in 2023, it was difficult to stop him. He ended his rookie year with 9 games of 54+ receiving yards, including 65 receiving yards and 97 receiving yards on the big stage in the postseason. LaPorta could potentially be a huge beneficiary of Josh Reynolds leaving in free agency, leaving LaPorta as the unquestioned No. 2 pass catcher in this offense. Playing at home against a very weak linebacker corps could lead to a strong 2024 debut for LaPorta.
