ANDY BEHRENS: Yeah, how about it? Minty couldn't show her face in the Sportsbook this week after spending all of last week insulting me. So instead, I'm joined by the prop queen, it's Ariel. It's a pleasure to have you here.
We're going to start with the Sunday night game, a couple of really sketchy defenses here in Miami and Pittsburgh. Giving up plenty of points and yards, fantasy managers like that. You are looking first to Tyreek Hill in this one.
ARIEL EPSTEIN: It's an unconventional prop for the over on the longest reception of 25 and 1/2 receiving yards for Tyreek Hill, the Miami wide receiver. He's the deep threat of this team. In fact, whenever Tua Tagovailoa was actually playing, before all the concussion protocol, Hill went over this number in all but one of the weeks with Tua at quarterback. Now you're going to get a Pittsburgh team that's allowed at least a 26-yard catch every week since week 1.
Tyreek Hill leading the team with 11 big catches of over 20 yards. I'll go with this over of 25 and 1/2 receiving yards. The longest reception of over 25 and 1/2 yards for Tyreek Hill.
ANDY BEHRENS: Oh, I love that one. Sometimes I just agree and I kind of nod my head at these things, but I'm actually going to play this one.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
ARIEL EPSTEIN: I guess that's why you and Minty fought last week.
ANDY BEHRENS: Maybe, maybe. Could be. Talk to us about Najee Harris here. Najee Harris has been a brutal disappointment for fantasy managers. He's helpful when he scores, but other than that, there are no yards.
ARIEL EPSTEIN: That's why you've got to go with the unders until further notice for the Pittsburgh running back, Najee Harris. I'm going with his under of receiving and rushing yards. So if you get this at the combine 61 and 1/2 total yards from scrimmage for Harris. Again, now you're going to go up against the defense like Miami, who may not be great against the deep ball.
They are good defending against the run, though. They are a top 10 run defense when it comes to rushing yards allowed to running backs. Najee Harris hasn't proved to be explosive in any way, especially in prime time with Miami under the lights, Tua Tagovailoa back again at quarterback. I see this defense stepping up and keeping their offense going to get the defense off the field as much as possible. Najee Harris, again, until proven otherwise, unders for Harris props.
