Picking the best player props from Thursday Night Football

Caleb Williams over 215.5 passing yards (-113)

It wasn’t always pretty, but Caleb Williams had the volume to go over that prop since Thomas Brown started calling plays for the offense.

In this five-game sample, Williams has averaged 251 passing yards per game, surpassing 215.5 yards three times. Both unders came on the road while he scored 330-plus in both home games.

This is a difficult task as the Seahawks are 11th in NumberFire’s schedule-adjusted defensive rankings against the pass and have been even better since their bye. But Williams’ overs have come against passing defenses ranked sixth and fifth (twice) all season, so I’m confident he can do it despite the clash.

D’Andre Swift under 58.5 rushing yards (-113)

I mentioned above that the Seahawks defense has played better since the bye. A large part of this may be due to the arrival of the linebacker Ernest Joneswho has made his rush defense significantly better.

Jones made his Seattle debut in Week 8. Since then, they have allowed 0.02 rushing net expected points (NEP, numberFire’s EPA metric) per attempt. They were 0.13 before his arrival. Their 17th place finish all season therefore highlights how well this front seven have been playing of late.

That could be a problem for D’Andre Swift, who has struggled with efficiency all season. In 5 games in which Brown called plays, Swift was under 40 yards receiving four times, even though Roschon Johnson missed all or most of those three games. After Johnson returned last week, Swift had 9 carries for 20 yards.

Combine that with Seattle’s defensive improvements and I think we have a lot of room for improvement here.

Zach Charbonnet under 68.5 rushing yards (-113)

If this game had taken place before last week, this sentence would have felt easy for Zach Charbonnet. However, he just doesn’t seem to be completely healthy and is pushing me downwards.

With Kenneth Walker III back, Charbonnet only played three snaps in the first half. Walker ended up getting injured again – which led to him being ruled out for today’s game – but Charbonnet still only played 13 snaps compared to 12 for Kenny McIntosh.

This is likely because Charbonnet is dealing with an injury himself. Last week he was limited in practice due to an oblique injury, and this week he was listed with an elbow injury. It’s possible they tried to keep Charbonnet’s snaps under control last week because of the bumps and bruises, and now he’ll have to return to play with just three days of rest.

The Seahawks desperately need a win here, so they will use their best players. Charbonnet looked like one of those guys when Walker was out. But even in four games without Walker, Charbonnet has fallen below that number twice and failed to top 55 yards in either game due to issues with the Seahawks’ offensive line. Combine that with slight wear issues and the bottom seems to be the right match.
