Broncos (-130) vs. Saints (+110)

SAINTS PROP BETS via Draft Kings

• RB Alvin Kamara to score a touchdown: +100
• WR Bub Means to score a touchdown: +400
• TE Foster Moreau to score a touchdown: +600

Kamara will have to touch the football 20+ times versus the Broncos. Juwan Johnson could be an option as well.

With Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed out of Thursday's game, Bub Means will be in play for prop bets. Spencer Rattler targeted Means eight times while completing five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. Cedrick Wilson Jr had two receptions for 28 yards, and Mason Tipton only caught one pass for

Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Mason Tipton will be the primary targets, with WR Dante Pettis possibly elevated from the practice squad.

Rattler will need contributions from his tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. Last week vs. the Bucs, Moreau had two receptions for 54 yards, and Johnson caught three passes for 48 yards.  

The young signal-caller near the goal line could also rush for a score. Rattler was 22/40 for 243 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in his debut.
