After another stacked Thanksgiving slate where we learned where a lot of teams lie and the Bears lost in embarrassing fashion again, we’re ready to take on the Sunday slate! Let’s take a look at this week’s four best plays.
Ja’marr Chase – Over 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Ja’marr Chase is once again proving why he’s one of the best receivers in the league. Five touchdowns in the last two games, 3 of them coming from his monster game against the Ravens. Now, you may be a little hesitant in thinking that Ja’marr will be able to get a touchdown against that scary Steelers defense this week, but my advice here is to just trust the playmakers. In the last nine games, he’s got a touchdown in 7 of them. The most interesting part here is that the two games he didn’t get a touchdown were in wins, against the Giants and Raiders. Does this mean that the key is losing? If so, time to grab your terrible towels. Jokes aside, I think Ja’marr’s streak continues with this game, and he snatches a touchdown against a division rival.
Ja’marr Chase over 0.5 touchdowns is the first play this Sunday slate. Expect him to have a good game against a bitter rival.
Anthony Richardson – Over 179.5 Passing Yards
Anthony Richardson is the definition of “recess ball”. Sure, he’ll throw with less than 50% accuracy, but your worries just fade away when he throws an off balance 60 yard bomb to a somehow wide open Alec Pierce (it’s always Alec Pierce). Even with the roller coaster of a season he’s had, he’s come back and proved that he’s got what he needs to be a successful quarterback in this league. It helps that New England is 22nd in Passing Yards allowed and 28th in Yards/Attempt through the air. We know Richardson can bomb opposing secondaries, so he should be able to clear this line shortly. Only thing we’d have to worry about is his legs, but games like Week 1 in Houston where he rushed for 50+, he still passed enough to clear this line.
Anthony Richardson has got one of the best arms in the league, and 179.5 passing yard is a line he’ll easily be able to clear against a shaky New England Secondary.
Aaron Jones – Over 59.5 Rushing Yards
Aaron Jones 59.5 rushing yards is the next play, and a homecoming division game should make this play a slam dunk.
Adam Thielen – Over 38.5 Receiving Yards
Are the Panthers…secretly getting better? I’m not here to answer that question, but there’s no doubt that the Panthers are certainly looking better as Bryce Young is slowly crawling his way out of the pit he was put in last year. Week 12’s game against the Chiefs was certainly a bright spot in an extremely shaky season, and a game where Adam Thielen played his first game in two months. He came right back to work, with a 3 reception, 57 yard game. All this to say, I think Adam Thielen is going to get a consistent amount of targets and receptions the rest of the season. He’s already cleared this line in 3 of 4 games he’s played in, and again, cleared it in his first game back in 8 weeks. The Panthers are also playing in a division game this weekend against the Buccs, who are 29th in passing yards allowed. After one of Bryce Young’s best game, I think he’ll have his confidence against this weak Buccs secondary, so he should be airing it out all game; meaning Thielen should be getting his touches.
The final play for this Sunday is Adam Thielen over 38.5 receiving yards.
