The Cowboys host the Giants on Thanksgiving in an NFC East battle. Here are some CeeDee Lamb prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
CeeDee Lamb Prop Bets
Here are CeeDee Lamb’s current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 68.5 receiving yards and o/u 6.5 receptions. Lamb is +180 to score a touchdown, +1500 to score 2+ touchdowns and +800 to score the first touchdown of the game.
CeeDee Lamb has had a big uptick in production over the past two weeks. There was a concern about his production levels after Dak Prescott got injured and in his first game with Cooper Rush, it was a disaster. However, in the past two weeks, he has combined for 18 catches and 160 receiving yards. Rush is afraid to force anything too aggressive and the Cowboys continue to struggle to run the ball, so Lamb has become the safety blanket for this offense. Rush has been hitting him for first downs and as an outlet when all else fails.
This matchup against the Giants is a good one for Lamb. They don’t have an elite corner that can focus all of his attention on Lamb to make his life difficult. The Giants rank 26th in defensive EPA/dropback and 22nd in defensive dropback success rate. The Cowboys should be able to throw on the Giants’ secondary just like the Bucs did last week and that means a lot of targets for Lamb. The Giants also rank 30th in opponent completion percentage, so they have struggled to make it difficult on opposing quarterbacks.
Lamb has double-digit targets in each of his past six games. Even with questionable quarterback play, 10+ targets should turn into 7+ catches for Lamb, taking him over his receptions prop. He is the lone elite offensive weapon for the Cowboys and that should result in a really good performance when facing a bad defense like the Giants. The Cowboys seem to be finding a new identity without Prescott, while the Giants seem to still be moving in a negative direction. Therefore, I am betting on Lamb to go over his receptions prop of 6.5.
Pick: CeeDee Lamb o6.5 Receptions (-125)
