Below, I’ll go over my favorite Rhamondre Stevenson prop to consider from this contest.
Best Rhamondre Stevenson Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Rhamondre Stevenson Over 22.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
If you watched the Wild Card game between the Patriots and Chargers last week, you would have seen Drake Maye get sacked five times and rush 10 times for 66 yards. The Divisional Round matchup against the Texans figures to be more of the same, with Maye running for his life, but also looking for his running backs and tight ends in the short-passing game. Enter Stevenson, who out-snapped TreVeyon Henderson 40 to 26 and caught three of four targets for 75 yards last week.
The Texans rank in the middle of the pack when it comes to yards and receptions allowed to opposing running backs. But, if we’re operating under the assumption that Houston’s pass rush is going to live in New England’s backfield, then it makes sense to target this prop. Maye will likely be flustered and looking for the easy ones, and Stevenson will be there in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Stevenson has cleared this yardage total in four of the last five games, with the lone miss missing the mark by one yard.
