Prop: Allen Robinson OVER 1050.5 receiving yards (-110, DraftKings)
That beeping sound you hear is a Brinks truck backing up. This wager is worth at least four moneybag emojis for multiple reasons: 
- Nick Foles — by all accounts the likely starter for Chicago Week 1 at Detroit — is quite possibly the best quarterback Robinson has played with, whether in college or the pros. Here’s his signal caller lineage: Matt McGloin, Christian Hackenberg, Chad Henne, Blake Bortles, Mitchell Trubisky and Chase Daniel. Poor bastard. Foles isn’t a world beater (QB20 in adjusted completion percentage in 2019), but at least he’s serviceable. Expect the wideout to improve on his WR56 catchable target percentage standing this fall.
- The Bears, outside adding to their hilarious stockpile of tight ends ($9 million guaranteed to Jimmy Graham? Really?!), didn't bring in much target competition. Robinson, thrown to 153 times in 2019, will again pump up the volume. In the end, 90-plus catches at 1,200 yards are entirely attainable, barring injury.
- Most importantly, Robinson isn’t some advanced stats Care Bear. In actuality, he’s a ferocious grizzly who mauls the competition. According to Matt Harmon’s #ReceptionPerception, Robinson recorded positive success rates versus man, zone, double and press coverages in ‘19. He also ranked No. 5 in contested catch percentage, No. 6 in completed air yards and No. 7 in total red-zone targets.
Bottom line, Robinson is a money maker. Plunk down a few buckaroos on the OVER and your odds of cashing in December are substantial.
