NFL Week 15 Player Prop Bet Picks & Predictions (2022)
CeeDee Lamb Over 70.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
CeeDee Lamb is that dude in Dallas’s passing attack. According to numberFire, he’s had a 26.3% Target Share, 43 receptions, 581 receiving yards and 684 Air Yards on Dak Prescott’s 251 pass attempts this year.
Lamb has thrived, operating primarily in the slot. Per Pro Football Focus (PFF), Lamb’s aligned in the slot on 59.6% of his passing snaps since Week 8. Conversely, the Jaguars have been eviscerated by slot receivers.
According to PFF’s slot coverage data, the Jaguars have allowed 117, 70, 63, 67, 85, 62, 109 and 65 receiving yards to wideouts in slot coverage in their previous eight games. That’s an average of 79.75 receiving yards allowed per game to the slot. Moreover, they faced an unimpressive group of wideouts during that stretch. Yet, Amon-Ra St. Brown was in that group, and he crushed them for 82 receiving yards in slot coverage alone, piling up 114 receiving yards in total.
Lamb should be the latest slot wideout to victimize the Jags. He’s had more than 70.5 receiving yards in four of his last six games. Finally, FantasyPros projects Lamb for 74.4 receiving yards this week. So, Lamb’s over is an inviting wager.
Justin Herbert Over 303.5 Passing Yards (-115)
The Titans are a pass-funnel defense and are lousy at defending the pass. Teams have attempted 199 passes and only 85 rushes by non-quarterbacks against the Titans in neutral game scripts since Week 8. And, according to Football Outsiders, the Titans are 26th in pass defense Defense-Adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA) since Week 8.
Conversely, the Chargers want to pass, pass and pass some more. They’ve attempted 218 passes and only 92 rushes by non-quarterbacks in neutral game scripts since Week 8. They also haven’t taken their foot off the accelerator. When leading by at least eight points this year, Los Angeles has attempted 36 passes and only 19 rushes by non-quarterbacks.
Justin Herbert can and should carve up the Titans. He’s dealt with a rib injury and critical absences in his pass-catching corps this year. Herbert has been at his best lately, though. The third-year quarterback is presumably healthier, and the cupboards are fully stocked with weapons. Herbert had 367 passing yards last week, the first contest this year when Mike Williams and Keenan Allen were healthy from the first to the final whistle. Herbert has passed for 335 and 367 yards in his previous two games. Things are trending in the right direction, and the matchup is perfect. Therefore, Herbert’s over for 303.5 passing yards is an excellent bet.
