We have targeted two running backs for their combined rushing + receiving yards props. Both players have been workhorses over the years and are tremendous assets for their respective teams in the passing game. 

Rhamondre Stevenson Over 64.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards

The New England Patriots are going to struggle in 2024. The team has entered a massive rebuild with their new quarterback Drake Maye. However, Maye won't be under center until the team makes the switch. 

Jacoby Brissett will start for the Patriots, and his passing yards line is set at 202.5. New England doesn't have an explosive offense as they lean on the run and the short passing game. This is where Rhamondre Stevenson enters the fold. 

Stevenson is an all-purpose back who has been fantastic in three NFL seasons. In 2022, he racked up 1,040 yards on the ground and 421 catching the ball. New England was horrendous on offense last season and he missed games, but still averaged four yards per carry and 6.3 yards per catch. 

The Patriots have a challenge against the Bengals, but Stevenson's total is very low on Sunday. The Bengals weren't healthy on either side of the ball in 2023, but they return the 26th ranked Defensive Rusher Rating unit in the NFL. 

Cincinnati also was 22nd in Defensive Hog Index and 29th in Total Team Yards Allowed. If the Patriots commit to the ground game, and work in some screens, Stevenson should surpass his low combined total. 

Rachaad White Over 84.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards 

The Buccaneers have a legitimate offensive attack. They improved their offensive line in the offseason with experience and depth. The team didn't do a great job running the ball last season, but Rachaad White was still able to produce strong performances.

White was also a top target in the passing games for screens, quick game and used frequently in the downfield attack. He is very skilled, and should post even better numbers as this offense continues to gel.

Washington brought in a defensive minded head coach in Dan Quinn, but he has a lot of work to accomplish. The Commanders had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season according to Cold, Hard Football Facts.

The Commanders were 18th in Defensive Rusher Rating and 19th in Defensive Hog Index. They were also 31st in Total Team Yards Allowed and 32nd in Defensive Passer Rating. White should have plenty of chances to surpass his rushing yards line.
