Munaf Manji, SleepyJ and Steve Reider break down NFL player props for Week 14. The guys also preview MNF and give out a best bet.

Key Points from the Transcript

• Quarterbacks:


• Brock Purdy of the 49ers was a central discussion point due to a depleted running back roster, with over 20.5 completions being projected.


• Justin Herbert's under 231 passing yards was suggested due to the Chargers’ reliance on an injured receiver corps. However, counterpoints favored Herbert exceeding 20.5 completions based on historical performances against strong defenses like Kansas City.


• Running Backs:


• Tony Pollard (Cowboys) was a favored pick with over 67.5 rushing yards, considering Jacksonville's poor rush defense in recent weeks.


• Tyrone Tracy of the Giants was highlighted for over 59.5 rushing yards against the Saints’ weak rush defense, marking him as the Giants’ key offensive contributor.


• Wide Receivers:


• A.J. Brown (Eagles) was expected to surpass 76.5 receiving yards in a pivotal game against Carolina, given injuries to teammates.


• Parker Washington (Jaguars) emerged as a breakout candidate for over 29.5 receiving yards, supported by his recent standout performance and increased route participation.


• Monday Night Football Preview:


• The matchup between the Bengals and Cowboys focused on offensive prowess. Joe Burrow's performance was spotlighted with a prop for his longest completion to exceed 37.5 yards, citing his explosive plays in recent games.


• The consensus leaned toward a high-scoring game, with Jamar Chase and CeeDee Lamb expected to shine.
