Best Amon-Ra St. Brown Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Amon-Ra St. Brown U 78.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

St. Brown has been hit or miss this season. In six games, the wideout has exploded for 140+ yards twice, but he has finished with 75 yards or less in the other four, including just 19 yards vs. the Jets in Week 3.

St. Brown continues to lead the Lions with an elite 29.1% target share, but with the Vikings’ league-best defense in town Sunday, clearing 78.5 yards is going to be difficult for the wideout. Minnesota easily leads the NFL in defensive EPA per play and opponents have the lowest passing success rate in the league when facing the Vikings.

The Vikings haven’t allowed a receiver to finish with more than 67 yards in five straight games and they are yielding the second-fewest catches (28) and yards to players who line up in the slot (263), which is bad news for St. Brown, as 50% of his routes have come from the slot this season.

Minnesota should give St. Brown trouble and he is a strong bet to fall short of 78.5 yards.
