Giants vs Falcons MNF Prop Bets

Saquon Barkley over 6.5 receptions
There have been nine times where an RB has received 12+ targets in a game this season.
Of those nine, two have come against the Falcons and two have been produced by Saquon Barkley.
The 12+ target performances against the Falcons came from their two opponents that ranked in the top-5 in RB Targets (Christian McCaffrey had 15 targets in Week 2 and Alvin Kamara had 20 targets in Week 3).
Barkley entered the week tied for the RB lead (51 targets) and the Giants throw to their running backs with the third highest frequency in the NFL (27.3% of attempts).
So far this season, only two of Atlanta’s opponents fall in the top half of the league in terms of target rate to their RBs – Carolina (9th) and New Orleans (4th). In spite of that stat, Falcons opponents have accounted for the most RB targets in the league (59).
Barkley and the Giants have faced two teams that rank in the bottom-10 in opponent RB target% (Dallas, 2nd and Philadelphia, 10th). Barkley posted 16 and 12 targets in those two games, respectively.
