NFL Week 6 Player Props: Texans vs. Jaguars
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Bhayshul Tuten Under 63.5 Rushing Yards (-109)
Tuten has played well this season, averaging 69.8 rushing yards per game, totaling between 65 and 73 in every contest. Last week, the former Virginia Tech star had 22 rushing attempts, his first game with over 20 attempts in his career, totaling 72 yards. However, he hasn't faced an elite run defense like the Texans this year. Houston has surrendered the fourth-fewest rushing yards to running backs, allowing only 72 yards per game.
Despite facing several of the NFL's top runners, Houston has surrendered only 63.8 rushing yards per game to opposing No. 1 running backs. They held James Cook, Chase Brown, Jonathan Taylor, and Javonte Williams to 66.8 rushing yards per game this season. Brown and Taylor were the only two running backs to have over 62 rushing yards against the Texans. Yet, both needed at least 20 attempts to get over that 62 rushing-yard total.
Nico Collins Over 74.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
You can count the number of wide receivers better than Collins on one hand. The superstar had only 56 receiving yards last week against the Tennessee Titans. However, his elite play wasn't needed, as the Texans won by 23 points. That won't be the case on Sunday in London. Collins averaged 96.5 receiving yards per game this year before last week's matchup, totaling 75 or more in every contest, including a season-high 118 in Week 4.
Furthermore, the former Michigan star has a track record of destroying the division rivals. Collins has averaged 122.8 receiving yards per game over his past five matchups against the Jaguars, totaling 104 or more in every outing. More importantly, Jacksonville has surrendered 101.5 receiving yards per game to opposing No. 1 wide receivers since facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. Therefore, more aggressive bettors should bet on Collins to have at least 100 receiving yards at +212.
Parker Washington Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+185)
Outside of the Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington has been borderline unstoppable this year. The former Penn State star has been the Jaguars' clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver, totaling 35 targets, the same total as Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. combined. More importantly, the star wide receiver has been a scoring machine, finding the end zone in three of five games. Last week, he had two receiving touchdowns against the Eagles.
Houston's pass defense is elite on paper, but it has struggled to start this season. The Texans have surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, the sixth-most in the NFL. They have given up at least one receiving touchdown to opposing wide receivers in every game until last week's matchup against the Titans. With Jalen Pitre out because of a shoulder injury, Washington has a strong chance to find the end zone.
