00:00Talk to me props-wise, where does the card begin for you?
00:03Well, I like Jordan Addison today.
00:05Jordan Addison is the guy, I mean, he's got a cheap number, 50 and a half.
00:09I think he could blow out today, 70, 80 yards.
00:12He could be that go-to guy, potentially, for J.J. McCarthy.
00:17He hasn't paid dirt.
00:18I also like him for an anytime touchdown,
00:20so we'll see exactly how that plays out right there.
00:24Zach Ertz, the late game.
00:26I think when you look at the Commanders and Detroit right now,
00:30Mariota will get the start.
00:32Limited weapons, and you just look at the passing attack
00:35when Mariota was in there against Kansas City.
00:38A lot of checkdowns to the running backs.
00:40I do expect Zach Ertz to get through his total today.
00:44Altered him as high, even though I took his regular total.
00:47Altered him as high as 40 or 50,
00:49because if Washington's potentially going to be in it,
00:52he's got to break out in a big way today.
00:54So those are two.
00:55And the third one, I think I added late.
00:58I can't even see who I added.
00:59You got Zach Ertz, your boy.
01:01No, Zach Ertz was who I had.
01:03Zach Ertz, Bam Knight.
01:04Oh, Bam Knight.
01:04Bam Knight, because when you look at the matchup with Seattle,
01:08they have to run the football,
01:10and I know it's going up against a very good front seven,
01:12but they can't get into a shootout.
01:14Bam Knight showed the ability to run the football hard.
01:17They just give him and split carries with him
01:19and DiMarcado and Carter.
01:22I like Bam Knight to potentially get 30, 40 on the ground.
01:24And I think it's a cheap number.
01:25All right.
01:26So I am sitting here with actually three props
01:29that we featured on the target player prop segment
01:33we do on Game Time Decisions.
01:34This doesn't always happen,
01:35but these were all numbers that I thought
01:37maybe would be a little bit heavier.
01:38And I think we've got some good opportunities on.
01:41So let's start with this.
01:42J.J.
01:42McCarthy over 17 and a half rushing yards.
01:44McCarthy had 25 in each of his first two starts
01:47for Minnesota.
01:48Last week, he misses this with just 12 yards.
01:51He lost five yards on kneel downs,
01:53which would have had us at 17.
01:56I think that he can get this with just one run, truly.
02:00Expected to be a trailing game script,
02:02higher scoring atmosphere maybe.
02:04I think J.J. McCarthy gets active on the ground.
02:07Jawan Johnson over 36 and a half receiving yards.
02:09This is like a yard up from last week.
02:12They traded Rashid Shahid,
02:13who led that team in targets last week.
02:16What?
02:17No, because Jawan, it's amazing that old man Jawan Johnson
02:21is the main target for Shuck and that offense.
02:25He might be, though,
02:26because he had just as many catches and targets
02:28as Olave did.
02:29Just from a talent perspective,
02:30they are depleted at the wide receiver position.
02:33You have a situation where they trade Shahid,
02:36Olave and Shuck are not, you know,
02:38some clear-cut one-two,
02:40and Carolina struggled against the tight end position.
02:42I think Johnson at 36 and a half is incredibly light.
02:45And then a little Sunday night special.
02:47Give me Justin Herbert for 35 and a half pass attempts
02:49in games with Joe Walt,
02:5132.4 attempts per game without 40.1
02:55because sometimes they're trailing,
02:59things aren't as efficient,
03:00and then the Steelers have faced the most pass attempts
03:03per game in the league by a lot.
03:05They've seen multiple guys throw the ball 50 times against them.
03:08Six of eight opposing quarterbacks
03:10have thrown at least 37 times.
03:12I love Herbert to sling it tonight here
03:13against Pittsburgh at home.
03:15It's a great look.
03:15I mean, when you just think about how that secondary is played
03:19and Jordan Love was able to light them up,
03:21you have to believe the game plan going in tonight
03:24is to have Justin Herbert cook and throw over the top,
03:27see if he can hit Johnson,
03:29Johnston, Ladd McConkie,
03:30and all the playmakers that he has at his disposal
03:34when they're playing at home.
03:35So, again, I expect them to step up in a big way.
03:38I like the total there, 44 and a half,
03:41but Herbert's a pretty good look.
03:42If they're going to win the game,
03:44they're going to do it with the passing attack.
03:45I'm sorry, are you leaning chargers in that game?
03:47Yeah.
03:47Yeah, I'm...
03:49You're not?
03:49No, no, no.
03:50I don't know, like...
03:52Leaning?
03:53I like them a lot.
03:54Okay, so same.
03:55I mean, I want to be careful,
03:57but I'm feeling I'm getting this, like,
03:58real good rhythm of Pittsburgh games, right?
04:01Green Bay smash,
04:03then they upset Indianapolis.
04:04Like, I don't know,
04:05it feels like everyone's trying to catch their tail
04:07on this team of when to back them and when to fade them.
04:09Well, they had six turnovers,
04:11the Colts did last week, right?
04:12Yeah.
04:13Okay.
04:13Exactly.
04:13So that allowed them to...
04:15Of course.
04:16...to dominate, right?
04:17Again, I think the secondary is not elite,
04:20and again, we've seen...
04:20But three more.
04:21I mean, Justin Fields had a field day with that.
04:24Yeah.
04:24So, again, Herbert, I think,
04:26is going to pick apart this team.
04:28Right.
04:28And again, I'm not going into the mindset,
04:31just because it's horrible,
04:32oh, we got to run the football.
04:34Yo, you go to get the lead and win the game,
04:36and winning the game is exploiting an aging secondary
04:39that hasn't shut down anybody up until this point.
