COLTS @ BRONCOS (8:25pm ET)

COLTS RB NYHEIM HINES OVER 66.5 RUSH+RECEIVE YARDS (-120)

We all know by now that Jonathan Taylor will miss this game with an injury. The number one pick in almost everyone's Fantasy Football draft leaves a huge hole in the Colts running game. Hines will be the man charged with filling most of that role with a little sprinkling of Deon Jackson. I'm going with the total yardage prop because of his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. They will likely use him in a variety of ways and I want all of that yardage to count toward my win.

COLTS WR ALEC PIERCE OVER 33.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-120)

COLTS WR ALEC PIERCE OVER 17.5 LONGEST RECEPTION (-115)

Matt Ryan has found another reliable option in the Colts passing game besides Michael Pittman and his name is Alec Pierce. The second round rookie wide receiver out of Cincinnati has collected seven catches on 11 targets over his last two games. The kid has speed running a 4.33 at the combine which was the fourth fastest amongst all participating wide receivers. He's become a deep threat in this passing game catching a pass of 30 yards or more in each of the last two games.

BRONCOS RB MELVIN GORDON OVER 12.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-120)

Melvin Gordon has been put into the lead back role with the loss of Javonte Williams for the season with a torn ACL. He won't get all the touches as he'll share touches with Mike Boone out of the backfield and likely some Latavius Murray down the road as well. Gordon can catch the ball and has gone over this receiving total in two games this season with Javonte still in the mix. I just think this total is just way too low and needs to be exploited.

COURTLAND SUTTON & MICHAEL PITTMAN JR OVER 10.5 RECEPTION TOTAL (+110)

I really should look more at this head to head plays because you can find some real good values. This bet is simply that Courtland Sutton and Michael Pittman Jr combine for more than 10.5 catches in the game. Both of these players are averaging six catches and eight targets per game this season. They are both the primary target for their respective quarterbacks.
