Week 15 NFL Prop Plays (DraftKings)

Josh Allen Over 34.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

While we are still a few weeks away from the postseason, it’s not like these games aren’t important. Instead, for a lot of teams, it’s already pretty close to postseason football. The postseason races are tight, and the last four weeks of the regular season will be important for a lot of teams.

Two of those teams are the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. They face each other this week in what will likely pass for a playoff game. That means we’ll see a lot of Josh Allen as the Bills will lean on their superstar quarterback. Not only does that mean his arm, but also his legs as well.

On the season, Allen is averaging 37.5 rushing yards per game, which puts his prop play of 34.5 rushing yards in a favorable spot. The Bills offense is better when Allen is freely moving the ball around the field and making plays.

Earlier in the season, when these two teams met, Allen carried the ball nine times for 53 yards. He’s coming off a 78-yard effort as the Bills are going to take advantage of Allen’s skill set. At 34.5 points, we have a manageable number that Allen has hit in seven of his 13 games this season. This is the week he makes it eight.

Travis Etienne Over 72.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

It’s all about game flow. In Week 15, as a running back against a reeling, to put it mildly,  New York Jets team, things are in a good place for Travis Etienne. In fact, it’s been a solid season to this point for Etienne, who is averaging 70.5 rushing yards per game. There’s also no true challenge to Etienne’s workload, which allows him to remain consistent.

This week, the matchup couldn’t really get much better for Etienne against the Jets. They are ranked 30th with 139.5 rushing yards allowed per game. That speaks to their defense, but also the game script of their opposition. With the Jets likely starting their third-string quarterback on Sunday, the game plan should be heavy on Etienne running the ball. Especially in the second half, that will likely be the case. New York also hasn’t shown the ability to stop the run.

In a similar game to this week’s, Etienne carried the ball 20 times for 74 in Week 14. That puts him just past his Week 15 prop play. Etienne has a success rate of just six times in 13 games, but one of his misses was by just 1.5 yards. This week, though, everything is lining up perfectly for Etienne.

Jacoby Brissett Over 38.5 Passing Attempts (-109)

The Arizona Cardinals have quickly become one-dimensional. They don’t have much of a run game, and they generally find themselves trailing. That means Jacoby Brissett takes to the air and tries to chip away as the Cardinals move the ball down the field.

He’s going to find plenty of resistance against one of the best defenses in the league, but the Houston Texans can’t stop him from trying. And Brissett is going to stop trying either.

In the last five games, Brissett hasn’t attempted fewer than 40 passes. When looking at his prop play, Week 15 will be no different.
