1u – Jordan Mason u2.5 Receptions (-104 @ DK)
This is a bet that will either make me look very sharp or will award me the title of Donkey Of The Day on Sunday. Jordan Mason is unequivocally the bellcow back on Sunday. Coach O’Connell reiterated that point in a recent interview and the Mason buzz is through the roof. He has an attempts line at 18.5 and is everyone’s darling of the week. In terms of his production in the pass game, I’m skeptical. Mason won’t be the only RB we see as Coach O’Connell sang the praises of Zavier Scott in reference of ways to replace the loss of Aaron Jones. Scott is actually a WR turned RB so he may be better utilized in passing situations on Sunday. If it’s 3rd down and people see Mason running off the field they may be going crazy, but this kid has great hands and will surely contribute. I’ll end with this point, Mason has 17 receptions in his career and has never had a 3+ reception game despite being the bellcow in another situation after the CMC injury. If he wants to hit this mark for this time in his career then good for him. At -104 I take this 11/10 times, lets roll!
1u – Rachaad White o21.5 Rush Yards (-110 @ MGM)
This is mostly a gut play, but one I feel good about. I don’t think anyone would confuse White for being a better back than Bucky Irving. With that being said, White impressed last week while rushing for 65 yards across 10 carries. I understand in Week 1 he only saw 2 handoffs, but he deserved some extra handoffs after his Week 2 performance. Additionally, Tampa plays against the Tyrod Taylor led Jets. I see no need for them to run Bucky Irving into the ground in what should come as a relatively stress free victory. White achieved 22+ yards in the 1st half last game, he can do so over four quarters here. James Cook just ran all over this Jets defense last week, now it is time for our friend Rachaad to run through some holes too. Lets roll!
