You read that headline right; Darren Waller has hit his reception yardage over in six straight games, a truly impressive stretch.
The Las Vegas Raiders tight end is going for seven straight when the Raiders travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers Sunday afternoon.
Waller’s over is currently set at 72.5 yards, extremely reasonable for a player that’s been on such a tear.
Waller is averaging 111.8 yards per game in his last five, so the early answer suggests that, yes, betting Waller’s over again is a smart bet.

Should You Bet OVER 72.5 Receiving Yards?
I overwhelmingly support betting Waller’s over on Sunday. No player in the NFL had more targets than the Raiders tight end in Week 1, finishing the game with a whopping 19 targets.
As Derek Carr’s top option in the passing game, the ball is coming his way.
When I bet player props, I follow volume, and you won’t find a player more involved in the offense than Waller.
Bet his over, and let’s make it seven straight games. For information on any player, check out BetPrep.com today.
