In this week’s player props breakdown for Week 6, Vaughn Dalzell shares his insights on some key players to watch, including Kirk Cousins and CJ Stroud, along with his picks against the spread for four games.
Dalzell explains his strategy of fading players coming off career highs, noting that their prop lines are often inflated. He highlights Kirk Cousins as an example this week, coming off a career-high 509 passing yards. Despite this impressive performance, Cousins has not consistently thrown for such high yardage in the past, making the current line of 248.5 to 252.5 yards seem too high. Dalzell predicts that the Falcons will come out on top against Carolina, as their defense has struggled near the red zone, potentially limiting Cousins’ passing opportunities.
“I like Cousins Under 252.5 Passing Yards at -113 odds on FanDuel down to 245.5,” Dalzell advises, making his pick clear.
Moving on to CJ Stroud, Dalzell expresses skepticism about the quarterback’s ability to surpass his passing yardage line, particularly with key receiver Nico Collins sidelined. Without Collins as a deep threat, Stroud may struggle to replicate his recent high-yardage performances. Dalzell points out that New England’s defense has allowed several quarterbacks to exceed the projected passing yardage line in recent weeks, but he believes that Stroud will fall short in this matchup.
“I played Stroud Under 235.5 Passing Yards at DraftKings for -115 odds and would go down to 230.5,” Dalzell reveals, indicating his prediction for Stroud’s performance.
As Dalzell offers his expert analysis on player props for Week 6, football fans are eager to see how Kirk Cousins and CJ Stroud will fare in their respective matchups. With Dalzell’s recommendations in mind, bettors may find valuable insights to inform their own picks for the upcoming games.
