Jaguars vs. Steelers player prop bets
Travis Etienne Jr. — Over 20.5 receiving yards (-115)
Etienne has quite literally been the engine of the Jaguars offense, much to the chagrin of fantasy owners of Calvin Ridley. Regardless, numbers never lie, and the Jaguars tailback is averaging 28.0 receiving yards per game this season, including three straight games of 20-plus receiving yards. As a counter to a pass rush headlined by TJ Watt, look for Etienne to be thoroughly involved as a pass catcher.
George Pickens — Over 53.5 receiving yards (-115)
There’s no question as to who Kenny Pickett’s favorite target through the air is. Pickens is riding back-to-back games of 100-plus receiving yards, and he’s totaled 50 or more receiving yards in four of his six contests this season. Jacksonville’s leaky secondary has been susceptible through the air as well, ranking 31st in allowing 273.9 passing yards per game.
Trevor Lawrence — Over 1.5 passing TDs (+110)
Lawrence has thrown a touchdown in five straight games this season, and there’s been only one contest in which he’s been shut out entirely. Pittsburgh’s defensive front speaks for itself, but that’s not to say they’ve been exposed through the air. The Steelers allow 1.5 passing touchdowns per game, which is 23rd in the league. The trick is for Lawrence is to snag that coveted second touchdown, but against this secondary and at this price, this prop bet is worth rolling with.
