Best J.J. McCarthy Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

J.J. McCarthy O 13.5 Rushing Yards (-117)

While McCarthy has had an up-and-down rookie season, the quarterback has been solid as a rusher, averaging 19.9 rushing yards on 4.1 carries per game. McCarthy is rushing on 7% of his snaps and he has rushed for at least 19 yards in four of his seven starts.

Coming off his best performance of the season in a 31-0 win over the Commanders, McCarthy now faces the Cowboys, who have been one of the worst defenses in the league this season. Dallas is the third-worst graded defense on PFF and it is allowing the sixth-most yards per rush (4.7). Specifically to quarterbacks, the Cowboys are giving up the fifth-most rushing yards (299).

The 13.5-rushing yards line is way too low for McCarthy in this spot and he is an awesome bet for this over.
