Boosts

Brian Thomas Jr finally got on the same page with Trevor Lawrence last week, and I expect the good usage to continue. People had increasingly high expectations for BTJ coming into the season, and he’s finally looking more like the first-round pick we saw last season. In last week's outing, Brian Thomas Jr. posted an elite 37% first-read target rate in Week 6 and turned in a season-high five first downs.

While the volume hasn’t been consistent, he’s finally being prioritized early and often. The Rams are good at getting pressure on opposing QBs, but their secondary is honestly lacking a lot of talent. Thomas can absolutely win these 1v1 matchups on the outside, giving some solid big-play opportunities. The Jaguars' rushing game has faded a bit, and the Rams have a good rush defense. They already lean more pass-heavy, and the defense should create even more opportunities for BTJ.

With question marks over who’ll be starting quarterback for the Cardinals on Sunday and their running back corps missing their RB1 and RB2, there’s only one player I’m confident on including in a player prop on the Arizona sideline, and that’s Trey McBride. The tight end has developed into one of the best in the league and will be the key weapon for them in this game.

What makes him such a safe bet is that he’s effectively QB-proof, and whether it’s Murray or Brissett at QB, he’ll continue to see volume. Last week’s game with Brissett at QB actually tied for the most targets (11) he’s had in a game this season. He’s had seven or more targets in every single game this season, and why he hasn’t hit Over 6.5 receptions in all of them, there’s always a chance when he continues to get high volumes of passes. With the Cardinals likely playing from behind (they’re 6.5 point underdogs) we should see whoever is at QB throw the ball a lot, and McBride should be the main beneficiary.
