Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Ja’Marr Chase / Over Receiving Yards / 85.5 at -115 / 65% / Chase averages 92 yards per game against divisional foes this season, exploiting Steelers’ secondary vulnerabilities; Bengals’ pass-heavy scheme (65% attempts) supports over amid favorable weather.
Player Prop #2: Jaylen Warren / Over Rushing Yards / 55.5 at -110 / 62% / Warren’s 4.8 YPC efficiency rises at home, facing Bengals’ run defense allowing 120+ yards recently; usage up with backfield injuries, aligning with sim’s projected Steelers ground game.
Player Prop #3: Joe Burrow / Under Passing TDs / 1.5 at -120 / 68% / Burrow held under 2 TDs in 4 of last 6 road starts, against Steelers’ top-ranked red-zone defense (45% TD rate allowed); turnover-prone under pressure limits scoring output.
