As you prepare for Week 4 of the NFL season, one team seems well-positioned for a big game offensively: the Cleveland Browns. Because of this, we believe you should target Cleveland Browns’ player props this Sunday.
Defensive grades and statistics are starting to take an accurate shape with three weeks of data, and the Minnesota Vikings are near the bottom across the board.
It helps when an elite offense meets a struggling defense, and that’s exactly what we have with the Browns visiting the Vikings.
Let’s take a deeper dive into how to attack this welcoming matchup.
Minnesota’s Defense Has Been Generous
Two metrics that bring Minnesota’s defense down the most are some standard efficiency statistics: yards per pass and yards per rush.
By both counts, the Vikings are a bottom-four defense, allowing teams to gain chunk yardage on the ground and through the air.
In a game projected to be high-scoring, Cleveland is well-equipped to take advantage of both weaknesses.
Minnesota has allowed an average of 409.7 yards per game (27th) and 26 points per game (20th).
Cleveland Browns Player Props To Target
The first key names worth your consideration on Sunday are the two Browns running backs: Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
The two-headed attack runs behind one of the best offensive lines in football. With wide receiver Jarvis Landry injured, they’re undoubtedly the focal point of this offense.
Chubb has gone over his rushing prop in all three games to start the year, running for 262 yards and three touchdowns. Props.com contributor Kyle Garlett likes Chubb to go over his 81.5-yard rushing prop, and I’m in agreement.
Hunt has combined for 269 total yards of offense and is tied for the team-lead in targets, with 11.
Other Browns To Keep In Mind
If you’re more drawn to the passing game, the best player to consider betting on is Odell Beckham, who returned to the lineup in Week 3.
Beckham slots in as the top receiver in Landry’s absence. He was busy in his first game of the season, hauling in five balls on nine targets to finish with 77 yards receiving.
Against this soft secondary, Odell could have a big game.
All three players above are viable betting options in what should be an exciting game this weekend.
