Justin Jefferson Over 9.5 yards on 1st reception (-115 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jefferson had a standout performance last week, with a 150-yard explosion where he averaged 16.7 yards per reception. Four of his nine catches exceeded the 10-yard threshold for this prop. His first catch in the game was only for eight yards, as Cousins was under pressure and didn’t give Jefferson the best chance for yards after the catch. However, Jefferson’s next catch resulted in a 30-yard gain.

Throughout his career, the young receiver has maintained an average of 14.9 yards per reception, with a minimum average depth of target of 10.5 yards. In 2022, an impressive 630 out of his 1,809 receiving yards were gained after the catch, showcasing his ability to turn a short pass into a significant gain.
