Player Props – Week 1
Chiefs vs. Lions
Right now, Noah Gray’s receiving yards prop is set at 32.5 yards (-110/-110).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the most pass-centric offense among all teams this week with a 63.8% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 5th-highest volume of plays run among all games this week at 129.6 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 34.8 pass attempts per game versus the Detroit Lions defense since the start of last season: 10th-most in the NFL.
- THE BLITZ projects Noah Gray to accrue 4.0 targets in this week’s contest, on average, placing him in the 78th percentile among tight ends.
- Noah Gray has been among the best possession receivers in the NFL among TEs, catching a terrific 83.1% of passes thrown his way since the start of last season, checking in at the 94th percentile.
Cons
- The Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite in this week’s game, which points towards a rushing game script.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a lowly 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows the pace, resulting in less volume and stat production.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 15.8% of the time since the start of last season (least in football), which generally means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
