FanDuel Week 3 NFL Best Bets: Sunday Night Football

Allen Lazard Over 22.5 Yards Receiving

After being absent from the Packers gameplan in Week 1, Lazard caught two of four targets last week for 16 yards and a long of 14. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling struggling, Lazard — who has been on the field for 66.39% of the snaps — may have overtaken him as the team’s second receiver. Lazard is projected to have 31.13 yards receiving tonight. He has averaged 2.5 receptions for 35.6 yards over the last two seasons, and his average depth of target is 11.8 yards this year. The likeliness of the over hitting is 69%, and though FanDuel has downgraded the odds to -113, it is still a good bet.

Marquise Valdes-Scantling Under 2.5 Receptions

This year Valdes-Scantling has been surprisingly unproductive through the first two games, catching just 3 of 12 targets. Rogers and Valdes-Scantling were unable to connect on any of his four targets last week. Valdes-Scantling is fifth in receptions, behind Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Robert Tonyan and Randall Cobb.

Valdes-Scantling is likely to be involved in the Packers’ gameplan this week, as he has been on the field 64.75% of the time through the first two games. However, the 49ers have allowed their first two opponents to complete just 19 of 37 passes to wide receivers. Valdes-Scantling is projected for 1.85 receptions tonight, with the expected return of investment 27.5% (-110 odds). While FanDuel lists the under odds at -114, it is still a solid bet, as the under has a 67% chance of hitting.

Jimmy Garoppolo Over 236.5 Yards Passing

Garoppolo has been fantastic over the first two games this season, completing 70.9% of his passes for 503 yards and two touchdowns. He has thrown the ball 55 times this year, which equates to 45.4% of the 49ers’ plays when he is under center. Garoppolo is projected to throw for 254.15 yards tonight. The Packers allowed Jared Goff to go 26 of 36 for 242 yards last week. The over has a 62% of hitting, as Garoppolo is expected to throw the ball 33 times. With FanDuel listing the over odds at -110, bettors project for a 17% return on investment.

Aaron Jones Under 4.5 Receptions

Jones is coming off a career night in the Packers’ Monday night 35-17 win over the Lions. He reached the end zone four times — three via receptions and one coming on the ground — and totaled 105 yards from scrimmage. He finished the game with six receptions for 48 yards and added 67 yards rushing on 17 carries. Jones has eight receptions for 61 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

Expect Jones to be highly involved in the Packers offense once again. He had 23 touches last week and was on the field for 69% of the team’s offensive snaps. While San Francisco has allowed 19 receptions to running backs — 16 of those came in Week 1 when the 49ers were up big against the Lions — the 4.5 catches for Jones is a little too high. Last week Philadelphia’s running backs combined for three catches on five targets. FanDuel lists Jones’ receptions total 3.5, with the under being listed at -168 odds. Jones is projected for 3.18 receptions tonight and has five career receptions in three games against San Francisco.
