NFL Week 5 player props picks, best bets: Target Omarion Hampton, Tyler Shough

We’re struggling in the player prop market currently. As we move into Week 5 of the NFL season, we have a lot of work to do to get right into the positive swing.We’ll leave all of that in the past as we begin Week 5 of the NFL season with plenty of intriguing games to target. RECORD: 4-7 (-2.98 units) | Long shots: 1-8 (-2.85 units) On average, the Vikings are allowing 17 rushing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks.Add in that Tyler Shough has cleared this number twice this season and faces a blitz-heavy team that Brian Flores brings, and I see Shough being willing to move more often than usual. Shough also has been given some designed run plays, something that the Vikings haven’t really seen yet this year.

Good buy spot on Shough’s legs. The Saints quarterback averages four rushing attempts per game and 4.5 yards per carry, so that alone averages to 18 rushing yards this season.In his final seven starts last season, Shough ran for 22, 18, 55, 32, 8, 6, and 34.

Only going under this total twice in that span.Given his history of willingly using his legs, Shough is the guy we are targeting this weekend in New Orleans.Mike McDaniel is going to get run out of town if he keeps up his nonsense in Los Angeles.

Kimani Vidal was getting snaps for the Chargers last week, as was Keaton Mitchell, who appears to be banged up, but logically this offense has to run through their 220-pound hulking running back. Hampton is top five in the league in yards after contact, and really the only issue is McDaniel wants to run a zone blocking scheme while Hampton is among the best in the league in running with man blocking schemes. If McDaniel wants to keep his job, he will give Hampton the rock and help get a win for the Chargers instead of the nonsense plays he’s been calling.We’re taking the slot receiver for New England, as Mack Hollins is now out with an injury, according to coach Mike Vrabel.It’s possible that Rhamondre Stevenson doesn’t play either; all...
