This week is @BeefyLayd17’s first player spotlight of the season, the emphasis of the ‘Player Spotlight’ series is to focus on a player prop line that you love and explain why you are backing it, and also give some context on the game. Last week, Ross (@Skybluechiefs) made his first player spotlight selection which ended up winning with James Robinson cashing his over 20.5 receiving yards, lets hope for another win here.
The Player spotlight this week will be Lions WR Kenny Golladay, he has had a bit of a rough start to the 2020 campaign, he missed the first 2 games due to injury and since he has been in okay form but hasn’t really had a ‘big game’ yet, in his first game back against Arizona he had 6 receptions on 7 targets and 57 yards and a TD, then in week 4, he had 4 receptions on 8 targets for 62 yards and a TD. In week 5 they had a bye and now in week 6 Golladay will come back feeling very healthy and will have had a full weeks rest to get his body ready to go again.
The Jaguars are currently ranked 32nd in DVOA Pass Defense, dead last in the league. Since there was no preseason, Football Outsiders created a ranking called ‘DAVE’ which shows how defenses will get better throughout the season. The Jaguars are still predicted to be 32nd in DVOA Pass Defense. If you don’t know what DVOA means check it out here – https://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/methods – it basically means that a 15 yard pass looks good on the stats sheet, but not if its a 3rd and 25. You haven’t been successful in getting a 1st down on 3rd down. So, the Jaguars are not successful in stopping teams from gaining first downs and being successful in stopping the pass, hence why they are ranked 32nd.
This week’s Player Spotlight bet from myself will be – Kenny Golladay over 64.5 receiving yards at Bet365 @ 10/11 – I imagine the Lions will come out firing and after a bye week and Golladay will feel very healthy for probably one of the first times this season.
If you are backing anything else this weekend good luck.
