Levitan’s Favorite Week 5 NFL Player Prop: Checkdowns Galore in Indy

Each week, Adam Levitan from Establish the Run will be sharing his favorite prop bet here at FantasyLabs.

Nyheim Hines Receiving Yards

  • Line: 18.5 yards (DraftKings)
  • Projection: 26.2 yards
  • Bet: Over (-112)

With LT Anthony Castonzo out and one of the league’s best defensive lines in town, expect plenty of quick-hitters from the Colts.

That’s fine by Phil Rivers, who annually has one of the highest target rates to running backs. Hines has an excellent chance to beat this prop even if the Colts win — but if the Browns get a lead as I suspect they will, it’s a no-brainer.

The Colts simply haven’t been willing to use Jonathan Taylor extensively in passing situations.
