With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, gaming audiences are already presented with long-term investment opportunities. Where should gamblers stack their greenbacks in the season-long props market? Throughout the week, I’ll share my initial thoughts on an available wager tied to this year’s stellar quarterback class.
The pick — Jayden Daniels UNDER 19.5 passing touchdowns (-135, DraftKings)
DraftKings offer:
Undeniably, the LSU product is going to deliver libido-driving fantasy numbers in his inaugural campaign, but mostly on the ground.
Daniels’ dual-threat skills and deep-ball touch are marvelous. Still, scouts have questioned the Heisman Trophy winner’s over-the-middle inconsistency and overall pocket presence, describing the latter as "in development."
Yes, the Commanders’ very sketchy secondary will surely increase Daniels’ pass attempts and garbage-time scoring opportunities. However, given his subpar WR corps and injury downside, the value lies in betting the UNDER.
Wednesday: J.J. McCarthy
