**Week 5 Prop Bets: Rebound Time**
After a decent Week 4, we’re looking to bounce back and cash in on some promising prop bets. With bye weeks officially underway, we’re focusing on a slightly smaller slate, but still finding value in various matchups.
**Quarterback Props**
* Trevor Lawrence OVER 249.5 passing yards (+110): Lawrence is due for a rebound, and a favorable matchup against Indianapolis could be just what he needs. The Colts have given up an average of 258 passing yards to opposing QBs, and with DE Kwity Paye expected to miss another game, Lawrence should have more time to operate.
* Geno Smith OVER 33.5 pass attempts (Even): Smith has been on fire this season, leading the NFL in passing yards, attempts, and completions. Even with a relatively low points total, the Seahawks’ game plan should focus on letting Smith do what he does best.
**Running Back Props**
* D’Andre Swift 70+ rushing + receiving yards (-120): Despite Swift’s inconsistent performance, the Carolina Panthers’ lackluster defense could be just what he needs to break out. The Panthers have allowed four different RBs to hit this mark, and Swift’s involvement in the passing game makes him a strong bet.
* Roschon Johnson OVER 29.5 rushing yards (-105): Johnson has been increasingly involved in Chicago’s backfield, and his short-yardage specialist role should continue to pay off against the Panthers. With the Bears favored by 4 points, the game flow should work in Johnson’s favor.
**Wide Receiver Props**
* Dontayvion Wicks 50+ receiving yards (-120): With Christian Watson out, Wicks is poised to pick up the slack in Green Bay’s passing game. He saw 13 targets last week, and the Los Angeles Rams have allowed the 14th-most receiving yards to wide receivers.
**Tight End Props**
* Dalton Schultz OVER 24.5 receiving yards (-125): Schultz has been quietly producing, and even with Tank Dell’s return, he should continue to see volume. In a projected close game, Schultz’s opportunities should abound, especially with the absence of safety Taylor Rapp.
