Bryce Young Best Passing Yards Prop Bet vs. Lions

Bryce Young O 243.5 Passing Yards (-111)

Young must be backed for this over. The former No.1 overall pick is off to a great start this season, ranking fourth in passing yards (939). In his three starts, Young has finished with 361, 287 and 291 passing yards.

The quarterback is averaging a career-high 7.8 YPA and with Young thriving under center, the Panthers rank fourth in PROE, after ranking 29th last season. Young ranked fourth in dropbacks heading into Week 4 (131) and he should continue to see heavy volume in this matchup vs. the Lions.

The Panthers are likely to be playing from behind, as 3.5 point underdogs and this game’s total is the highest of Week 4 at 51.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook. Detroit ranks 11th in pace and it’s defense is allowing the second-most passing yards this season (979).

The first three quarterbacks to face the Lions have finished with 410, 248 and 321 passing yards, and Young should provide another high yardage performance in this optimal spot.
