[subheader text=”Justin Watson” subtext=”Over 14.5 Receiving Yards (-120)” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nfl/100/kc.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/betmgm” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
When you think of the Chiefs’ receiving corps, you don’t really think of Justin Watson, but he’s been a steady contributor this season. His receiving line stands at 14.5 yards, which feels incredibly low from what we’ve seen this year.
He’s covered that number in 12 games and has been targeted at least once every time he’s been on the field. When you consider that he’s covered the number in five of his last seven games, it gives me confidence that he’ll get looks on Sunday.
With the Ravens focusing on Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, it should mean Watson will get opportunities against the Ravens’ weaker defenders.
Pick: Justin Watson Over 14.5 Receiving Yards (-120 at BetMGM)

[subheader text=”Isaiah Likely” subtext=”Over 21.5 Receiving Yards (-110)” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nfl/100/bal.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/122955_FanDuelSportsBook@1x.jpg” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/fanduel” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
There are expectations that Mark Andrews will waltz himself into the Ravens’ lineup and dominate like he had before the injury. That is possible, but let’s not forget that it was initially thought Andrews’ injury could be career-threatening.
Even with the importance of this game, I don’t think Baltimore will force-feed Andrews, and he may be on the field less than expected.
That bodes well for Isaiah Likely, who has a receiving line of 21.5 yards. In all seven games without Andrews, Likely covered that number quite easily. He’s played very well and I can’t see the team just forgetting how effective he’s been.

[subheader text=”Rashee Rice” subtext=”Anytime Touchdown (+170)” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nfl/100/kc.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/betmgm” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
After Travis Kelce’s two-touchdown performance against the Bills, there seems to have been collective amnesia regarding his performances this season up until that point.
That was the first time he’s scored since Week 11 and he now has seven TDs on the season, one fewer than Rashee Rice.
I’m certain that the Ravens will be focusing most on eliminating the threat of Kelce, which should mean favorable matchups for Rice. The rookie has grown into the offense and comes into this game with four touchdowns in his last eight games.
At +170, I think you’re getting a very good price on him scoring again.
Pick: Rashee Rice Anytime Touchdown (+170; BetMGM)

[subheader text=”Isaiah Likely” subtext=”Anytime Touchdown (+360)” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nfl/100/bal.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/122955_FanDuelSportsBook@1x.jpg” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/fanduel” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
We’re going back to the well on Likely as I can’t believe how he’s being disrespected by the market.
We know that Andrews is a red-zone threat, but Likely has put up some great numbers with him out.
Likely’s had six touchdowns in his last six games and has proven himself to be a legitimate threat. He will no doubt lose some targets, but after the previous month and a half, he’s shown that he deserves the ball, and I think we’ll continue to see Lamar Jackson look to the young tight end.
