Alex Hunter has shared his top player prop bet for Rhamondre Stevenson in the Week 5 matchup between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills set for Sunday night. The game, with the Bills favored by 8.5 points, is expected to feature a total of 49.5 points according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Stevenson has displayed impressive involvement in the passing game this season. He has been running routes on 40% of his team’s dropbacks and has received targets on 20% of those routes. Notably, he has caught 91.7% of the passes thrown his way, averaging an elite 2.31 yards per route run, ranking him third among all running backs with at least 10 targets this season.
In two of his four starts, Stevenson has recorded receiving yards of 88 and 38. Despite facing a tough Bills defense that allows the second-fewest receiving yards to running backs at 62, the Patriots’ anticipated negative game script could bode well for Stevenson’s role as a receiver. As the Patriots are significant underdogs, there is a strong likelihood that quarterback Drake Maye will throw the ball more than 35 times in this matchup, increasing the chances for Stevenson to surpass the 13.5 receiving yards mark.
With these factors in play, Rhamondre Stevenson presents a compelling player prop bet for fans and bettors to consider ahead of this crucial game against the Bills.
