Player Props – Week 5

Commanders vs. Titans

Right now, Derrick Henry’s rushing yards prop is set at 85.5 yards (-105/-125).
The public has bet the UNDER down to 85.5 (-125) after it opened @ 86.5 (-115).

Pros

  • THE BLITZ projects the Tennessee Titans to be the 6th-most run-centric team on the slate this week with a 46.0% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
  • THE BLITZ projects Derrick Henry to notch 24.2 rush attempts this week, on average, ranking in the 100th percentile among RBs.
  • Derrick Henry has received 84.4% of his team’s rush attempts this year, placing him in the 99th percentile among RBs.
  • The Tennessee Titans have gone no-huddle on 11.3% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-most in the NFL). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat-padding.
  • The Tennessee Titans have utilized some form of misdirection on 50.7% of their plays since the start of last season (10th-most in football), which can confuse the defense and bolster offensive production.
Cons

  • THE BLITZ projects the Titans to run the 6th-least offensive plays on the slate this week with 63.6 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
  • The Tennessee Titans have called the least plays in the league this year, totaling just 50.5 plays per game.
  • Derrick Henry has rushed for substantially fewer yards per game (76.0) this season than he did last season (105.0).
  • The Tennessee Titans have been faced with a stacked the box on 26.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
