2021 NFL Season – Week 9 (Prop Bet)

Ja’Marr Chase Longest Reception over 26.5 Yards (-115)

I really like Ja’Marr Chase’s longest reception to go over this week. Last week was the only week of the season that Chase didn’t secure a pass of at least a 30-yard gain. Here are the longest completions in each game:

Opponent

Minnesota

Chicago

Pittsburgh

Jacksonville

Green Bay

70.00

Detroit

53.00

Baltimore

82.00

NY Jets

21.00

Avg Longest Catch

49.50

I think for these numbers alone it’s worth the -115 price, but if you look at how Cleveland has defended against big plays from WR’s; I like it even more. Cleveland has had some significant problems giving up long receptions to a wide variety of receivers:

Diontae Johnson

Denver

Courtland Sutton

31.00

In only 1 game so far this season, the Browns didn’t have a receiver surpass the 26 yard mark, and that was against the Bears who are the worst passing team in the NFL in almost every category.

I think Chase is far too talented and too strong after the catch to not break the 26.5 yard mark on his longest catch.

Good Luck!

Overall season now at 3-2
