Las Vegas Raiders: 3 best prop bets against the Broncos in Week 6

1.  Receiving Yards: Darren Waller 75+ (+110)

If Derek Carr is going to have a big game passing, he needs his No. 1 option to also have a big game, and that man is tight end, Darren Waller. Since his incredible Week 1 effort, Waller has been the target of every defense the Raiders have played and has only 18 receptions across the last four games.

That has to change on Sunday, and while he has not gone over 65 yards since Week 2, this is the week where Carr gets him double-digit targets, and he exploits the middle of this Broncos defense. Last year, Waller capped his first Pro Bowl season by going off against Denver in Week 17, hauling in nine of his ten targets for 117 yards and a touchdown.

I believe he gets close to that in Week 6.

This is one of the more special players in the NFL, and while the team has not been able to utilize him to his full potential over the past few weeks, getting him involved early and often will be crucial against Denver. Las Vegas has a lot to prove in Week 6, and Waller being a big part of the game plan will help them get where they want to go.
