Things are not going well for the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins. At least you can say you saw it coming for the Browns; the rebuild was here by design. The Dolphins must be more disappointed with their 1-5 start, and heads will start rolling sooner or later unless they can figure something out. But even amidst this ugly matchup, we can find some good player props.
Cleveland is a -2.5 favorite at home on DraftKings Sportsbook. If you fancy a Dolphins road upset, they’re priced at +120 on the moneyline. The over/under for this game is set at 35.5 total points. Let’s go ahead and get into the top player prop bets for this Dolphins vs. Browns showdown.
Best player prop bets
Quinshon Judkins 100+ Rushing Yards (+101)
The whole “offense” thing is not going well for the Cleveland Browns. They’re dead last in points per game, scoring only 13.7 points on average. But one thing they’ve got right is Quinshon Judkins. The rookie is tearing up defenses left and right and has been their only consistent way of moving the ball.
Miami has allowed the most rushing yards per game this season, allowing nearly 170 yards every week. On top of that, there are expected to be extreme gusts of up to 60 miles an hour on Sunday in Cleveland. Good luck throwing the ball in that weather.
Ollie Gordon II 15+ Rushing Yards (-151)
Speaking of rough conditions. Naturally, De’Von Achane is going to get the bulk of the carries for Miami. But if the weather is as bad as expected, they’re going to be running a lot, and Achane needs someone to spell him. That’s where Ollie Gordon II comes in.
Head coach Mike McDaniel is typically comfortable giving Gordon a few carries to relieve Achane. But if Achane gets a heavy workload as a runner and in the screen game, he’ll need a few extra totes. Even against a stout Cleveland run defense, that should be enough to clear 15 yards.
