Austin Ekeler Receptions
Player Prop Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Washington Commanders

Austin Ekeler Receptions Prop is currently Over/Under 2.5 (-170/+130).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 2.5 @ -160 before it was bet up to 2.5 @ -170.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

A passing game script is suggested by the Commanders being a -3.5-point underdog in this week's game.

Given their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Commanders are forecasted by our trusted projection set to run 65.7 plays on offense in this game: the 9th-highest number among all teams this week.

The Buccaneers defense has been a notorious pass funnel last year, enticing opposing QBs to attempt the 4th-most passes in football (36.8 per game) last year.

With a sizeable 57.4% Route% (94th percentile) last year, Austin Ekeler places among the RB receiving threats with the highest volume in the league.

In this week's game, Austin Ekeler is anticipated by our trusted projection set to secure a spot in the 93rd percentile among running backs with 4.2 targets.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

The projections expect the Commanders as the 8th-least pass-oriented team among all teams this week with a 54.9% pass rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.

The Washington Commanders have played in the 10th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL last year, which should result in lower pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack efficiency when facing windier conditions in this week's game.

With a weak 72.2% Adjusted Completion Rate (19th percentile) last year, Austin Ekeler rates as one of the least sure-handed receivers in football among running backs.

When it comes to safeties in covering pass-catchers, Tampa Bay's group of safeties has been phenomenal last year, grading out as the 8th-best in the NFL.
