As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5’s Thursday Night Football, there are several intriguing player prop bets worth exploring. I’ve identified value picks for key players, offering insight into both passing and rushing yardage, as well as reception totals.
Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Over 226.5 Passing Yards (-114, FanDuel)
Cousins has been steady over his last three games, passing for 241, 230, and 238 yards respectively. The Buccaneers have allowed an average of 216.3 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, but those numbers are skewed by matchups against guys like Bo Nix and Jalen Hurts, who was dealing with a depleted receiving corps as well as Jayden Daniels in his NFL debut. With a full complement of weapons, Cousins should have no problem surpassing this total.
Falcons RB Bijan Robinson Under 66.5 Rushing Yards (-118, Caesars)
Bijan Robinson has struggled to get going in recent weeks, rushing for just 31 yards on 16 carries against the Chiefs and 28 yards on 7 carries versus the Saints. Meanwhile, Tyler Allgeier has been more efficient, cutting into Robinson’s touches. The Buccaneers’ defense is tough on opposing running backs, allowing just 87.75 rushing yards per game, making this under a solid play.
Falcons WR Drake London Under 21.5 Yards Longest Reception (-114, FanDuel)
Drake London has yet to catch a pass longer than 19 yards with Kirk Cousins under center this season. The Buccaneers' defense has been exceptional in limiting big plays, allowing only 9.19 yards per reception, the second-best mark in the NFL. This prop seems smart given London’s recent output and Tampa Bay's defensive prowess.
Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Over 66.5 Receiving Yards (-113, BetRivers)
Chris Godwin has been thriving under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, with 322 receiving yards and three touchdowns through four games. With Mike Evans and Trey Palmer battling injuries, Godwin should see an increased workload once again, especially working out of the slot. Cornerback A.J. Terrell will likely shadow Evans if he plays, giving Godwin more opportunities to rack up yards against the Falcons' secondary.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton Over 3.5 Receptions (+126, FanDuel)
Cade Otton has emerged as a reliable target for Baker Mayfield, catching seven passes on eight targets for 47 yards, followed by six receptions on nine targets in back-to-back games. With snap counts consistently over 90% this season, Otton should see plenty of chances to surpass 3.5 receptions once again in this Thursday night matchup.
