The Cowboys travel to Washington to take on the Commanders in an NFC East matchup. 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 5.5 receptions. Lamb is +165 to score a touchdown, +1400 to score 2+ touchdowns and +1300 to score the first touchdown of the game.
It has been a frustrating season for CeeDee Lamb with his quarterback going down for the season and having a backup in Cooper Rush, who is a major drop-off from Dak Prescott. Rush had a pretty poor first two starts for Dallas and then had a bizarre stat line against Houston last week. Dallas got into such a hole early that it just decided to throw the ball all game and Rush ended up with 55 pass attempts for 354 yards. This might become a regular game script for the Cowboys the way things are going.
The Cowboys have struggled on the defensive side of the ball all season, ranking 30th in defensive EPA/play and 32nd in defensive EPA/rush. That is bad news against a Commanders offense that is an elite rushing unit. It is very possible that the Cowboys get into a hole early just like they did last week against Houston. That could lead to another pass-heavy game script for the Cowboys to try to get themselves back into the game. The Cowboys also don’t have a very good run game to begin with and with the Commanders ranking 21st in defensive EPA/dropback, Dallas should be aggressive through the air.
Therefore, my favorite prop for this game is CeeDee Lamb o5.5 receptions. Lamb should have a big target share in this game, just like he did last week. Lamb had 12 targets against Houston and has now had double-digit targets in five straight games. Despite the fact that there was a downgrade at quarterback, it has benefited Lamb in some ways because Rush is more comfortable just trying to get the ball in Lamb’s hands and letting him create magic. Lamb has cleared this prop in five straight games and should do so again as Cooper Rush continues to use him as a safety net.
Pick: CeeDee Lamb o5.5 Receptions (-155)
