Player props for Jaguars vs. Steelers
- Christian Kirk OVER 4.5 receptions
- Travis Etienne OVER 63.5 rushing yards
- Najee Harris UNDER 42.5 rushing yards
Christian Kirk OVER 4.5 receptions
With Calvin Ridley seemingly taking a back seat in the Jaguars' offense, Christian Kirk's role is only increasing. He has surpassed 4.5 receptions in three of their last four games and he's coming off a performance where he hauled in six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown against the Saints.
Travis Etienne OVER 63.5 rushing yards
Travis Etienne hasn't surpassed 63.5 rushing yards since the Jaguars took down the Bills in Week 5, but he's now facing a fantastic matchup against the Steelers.
Pittsburgh hasn't done a good job of stopping the run all season. The Steelers are allowing 4.7 yards per carry, which ranks 27th in the NFL. That should set up well for Etienne on Sunday.
Najee Harris UNDER 42.5 rushing yards
Not only do the Jaguars allow just 3.6 yards per carry this season, but Najee Harris' role in the Steelers offense will continue to dwindle.
He played just 58% of snaps last week and he rushed 14 times for only 53 yards. He's now averaging a measly 3.9 yards per carry this season. Meanwhile, Jaylen Warren is starting to see an increase in both workload and production.
Harris' days as the No. 1 running back in this offense are numbered so I'm going to go ahead and fade him against this Jacksonville defense.
