NFL Rushing Props: Targeting Derrick Henry on the Week 17 RB Cheat Sheet
NFL Rushing Props: Targeting Derrick Henry on the Week 17 RB Cheat Sheet
Although the running position isn't valuable to NFL owners and general managers, we might actually have a running back win the MVP award.
Christian McCaffrey is currently second on the odds board, behind Lamar Jackson. He's also the favorite to win the AP Offensive Player of the Year.
With a game against Washington, McCaffrey is expected to score multiple touchdowns. That could help him get in front of Jackson for the MVP.
So maybe running backs are valuable, after all! Here are three running back props to consider for today's NFL slate.
NFL RB Cheat Sheet Week 17
Alvin Kamara Over 46.5 Rushing Yards (-110)Â Â Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Alvin Kamara has an illness and is questionable for today's game. But it's more likely that he plays.
Kamara only earned 19 rushing yards in nine attempts last week against the Rams. His long rush was a five-yard rush.
But still, Kamara has added at least 47 rushing yards in 75% of games this season. He's also hit this line in four of his last five and seven of his previous ten.
I like Kamara to get back on track against a Tampa Bay defense that has still been below average this season in almost every category.
Derrick Henry Over 14.5 Rush Attempts (-135) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Derrick Henry has hit at least 16 rushing attempts in five straight games. He's even coming off a game where he saw 19 carries for 88 yards against Seattle.
Henry is now 28 yards away from 1,000. He's also second in the NFL in carries this season at 249.
Henry has lost some volume to Tyjae Spears. Yet, he's still second in the NFL in rushing attempts this season.
I expect a close matchup between the Titans and Texans. Henry will be needed if the Titans want to pull off the upset. Take his Over.
Chuba Hubbard Over 1.5 Receptions (-145) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Hubbard only saw one target and caught the one ball for eight yards last week against the Packers.
However, Hubbard has added at least two receptions in 73% of games this season. He's also hit this line in seven of his last ten games.
The Panthers usually trail and utilize dump-off passes late in games to earn extra yards when the defense is playing soft coverage.
Hubbard has 33 catches off 37 targets this season. So when the ball is thrown his way, he usually catches it and makes a completion out of it. It doesn't matter how far the completions go. He can lose yards for all we care.
I still like him to get at least two catches today against Jacksonville.
