Where's The Value?

Herbert is projected to put up closer to 12 yards on the ground tonight relative to a market-best price of o8.5 with a vig of -115 at DraftKings. It's the best prop on the market as of Sunday afternoon, according to our algorithms.

Santos, meanwhile, is projected to put up closer to seven points kicking tonight — two field goals and an extra point, roughly. While the Bears figure to struggle on offense, the Chargers' defense is awful, ranking second-to-last in expected points added per play (EPA/play) and No. 29 in defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA). That market-best vig is available at Caesars.

And lastly, Ekeler is projected to put up closer to 59 yards on the ground on Sunday night. The market-best line available at FanDuel.
