The Action Network's proprietary betting algorithms have targeted three top selections for Steelers vs. Ravens on Saturday afternoon.

The betting models are targeting two Steelers offensive players: wide receiver Allen Robinson II and quarterback Mason Rudolph.

This game is particularly difficult to handicap — but especially for Ravens skill position players. Quarterback Lamar Jackson will sit out this game with Baltimore's No. 1 seed already sealed up. But that doesn't mean every starter will sit.

Due to roster constraints — and a desire to stay fit — plenty of starters will still play on Saturday. And Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley made the Pro Bowl last season. But it doesn't change the fact that this game is particularly difficult to handicap from a props perspective.

Still, that means there might be undervalued lines throughout the marketplace, depending on usage rates.

There will be one player incentivized to play: Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Read about which incentives — and thus, which props — are relevant for a player who will be elevated on the depth chart, with Odell Beckham Jr. out due to rest.

Where's The Value?

Robinson is projected to put up closer to 1.8 receptions on the day, according to our algorithms. The models simulate thousands of iterations of this particular matchups — with roster adjustments in mind — and project an average figure for each player's props.

This market-best prop is available at FanDuel.

Rudolph, meanwhile, is expected to throw the ball less and depend on his run game — especially with the reemergence of Najee Harris. Rudolph is projected to put up 27.5 pass attempts and roughly 17 pass completions. These lines also have a market-best price at FanDuel.
