Packers vs Steelers player prop bet: Jaylen Warren Over 81.5 rushing + receiving yards (-111)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
81.5 rushing + receiving yards seem like a mountain of a number to climb for any back, but Jaylen Warren has been nothing short of impressive for the Steelers. Warren spent time on the shelf but returned to the field after the Steelers early bye week, revolutionizing the offense. In their AFC North battle versus the Bengals last Thursday Night, Warren totaled 20 touches for 158 yards. Even in a negative game script leading into the 3rd quarter, the Steelers rode Warren to jumpstart drives, leading to a back-and-forth battle that eventually led to a loss in one of the best games the NFL has produced this season.
Looking ahead to Sunday Night, Warren’s rushing attempt line is upwards of 15.5 – a clear indication the Steelers will ride Warren on extended rest. With how dominant the defense has been and the ability for the Steelers to stay in games, Warren’s rushing and receiving upside clears most backs in the league, as a 3-down back. His stock continues to rise, as he ranks in the top 5 in the NFL in missed tackle rate. Feel confident backing the 26-year-old running back as home underdogs on Sunday Night.
