One NFL prop angle I’ve been monitoring the last few weeks has been offenses going against the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints have a stifling run defense, with running backs consistently going under their rushing prop. New Orleans is allowing the fewest rushing yards per game, at just 73.8.
However, offenses are starting to realize they have no chance to move the ball on the ground, with more attention geared towards the passing attack.
The result? Only one team is allowing more yards to receivers than New Orleans. On a per-game basis, the Saints surrendered 199 yards per game to WRs.
Just last week, all three Falcons receivers went over their yardage props. Cordarrelle Patterson, in particular, had a big game, finishing with 126 yards.

That is a vulnerable secondary and one we need to have on our radar for Week 10.
Week 10: Titans Players To Targets
Tennessee is rolling as a team, winning five straight games, four of which were against playoff teams from last season.
While the Derrick Henry injury is hard to ignore, Tennessee overcame his absence and took down the Rams, 28-16.
AJ Brown is the name to keep on your short-list for NFL prop this weekend. Brown has seen no fewer than nine targets since Week 6 and leads the Titans in yards by a sizable margin.
Brown has been making highlight plays like this recently as well, showcasing the elite talent the receiver possesses:

Brown is averaging 105.25 yards per game in his last four and will continue to be asked to do more without Henry around.
In a soft Week 10 matchup, I expect big things from Brown. Load him up confidently in your bet slip and enjoy his production against the Saints secondary.
