NFL Week 8 player props: Picks for Ravens vs. Browns, Panthers vs. Broncos, more

The NFL Week 8 slate offers many opportunities in the player props markets, and I’ve got my sights set on three under-the-radar targets going over their receiving lines.I went 3-1 on my picks last week, bringing my season record to 16-3.

Overall, I’m 61-43 on player props this year for 21.77 units of profit.All of my picks are tracked in the Action Network app at Wayne_Bets.Ravens vs.

Browns, 1 p.m.ETI circled this one after the Browns lost to the Bengals last week.With Amari Cooper off to Buffalo, second-year wideout Tillman played a featured role in the offense with a 31.3% first-read target share and 36.7% air-yard share.

It resulted in eight catches on 12 targets for 81 yards, and it’s simply not being priced appropriately by the books this week.The Ravens also have a pass-funnel defense, ranking fourth against the run by DVOA but 18th against the pass, including 28th against WR1s.Marlon Humphrey hasn’t been practicing this week, and if he misses Sunday’s game or isn’t at full strength, that would only further boost Tillman’s upside.

I expect Jameis Winston to give Tillman plenty of opportunities through the air as a featured weapon in Cleveland’s passing offense.Cardinals vs.Dolphins, 1 p.m.

ETTua Tagovailoa is returning as Miami’s starting quarterback this week, just in time to face a dreadful Arizona pass defense that ranks 29th by DVOA.The receiving lines for Tyreek Hill (83.5) and Jaylen Waddle (51.5) have been adjusted accordingly, but Achane’s projection remains flat and doesn’t reflect the role he had in the passing game when Tagovailoa was healthy.According to Fantasy Points Data, Achane had an 18.4% target share and an elite 39% target per route run rate through the first two weeks.

He ran 49% of his routes from the slot or out wide and essentially operated as the WR3 in the offense.That role resulted in 14 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown.Achane is priced at over/under 3.5 receptions, and he’s cleared 23.5 receiving...
