Amari Cooper also is worth a big bet shot.
The Cleveland Browns are on the road against the Washington Commanders in Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season this Sunday, October 6, at 1:00 pm ET. The Browns are 3-point underdogs against the Commanders, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Here are my favorite player prop bets from the Browns’ perspective in Week 5.
Jayden Daniels has been efficient, but I anticipate a lot more of the short, quick throws to build that completion percentage up, with Cleveland’s secondary continuing to win some battles down the field. Unless a receiver slips a tackle to break a big gain, I like the Browns’ defense to limit Daniels’ longest pass to under 34 yards.
When Amari Cooper struggled in the first two games, the Browns made a point to get him the ball the following week, including for a touchdown pass on the first play. With Cooper having the big drop last week, but the team still having full confidence in him, I like the odds you’re getting on taking the chance of Cooper striking with the first touchdown of the game.
In four games, Jayden Daniels has rushed for 88, 44, 39, and 47 yards. That means the under would have hit on his rushing yards 3 out of 4 times, and I like Cleveland’s pursuit of the quarterback to keep him under again.
Browns fans, let us know which player prop bets you’re looking at this week against the Commanders.
