Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Props

The Steelers may not be headed for a playoff berth, but they’re much more competitive than it appeared they would be after Ben Roethlisberger went down for the season in Week 2. Even though backup Mason Rudolph also missed some time due to injury, they’re a respectable 4-2 ATS. 

Meanwhile, the Dolphins spent most of the season looking as far from respectable as possible. They’re still winless but did at least manage their first covers of the season against Washington and Buffalo. The 14-point underdogs just traded their leading rusher, Kenyan Drake, to Arizona. In this game, they’ll be facing Minkah Fitzpatrick, the 2018 first-round pick that they dealt to the Steelers earlier this season. Those transactions will add a little intrigue to Monday night.

If you want to add your own intrigue with a little money on the line, here are a few of our favorite props to consider.

JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER (PIT) 1+ TOUCHDOWNS (-125)

Wide receivers tend to have success against Miami, especially in the touchdown department. In Miami’s last two games, they’ve allowed four total passing touchdowns to receivers. They’ve allowed 11 passing touchdowns to wide receivers this season, which is tied for the most in the league. As Pittsburgh’s best, Smith-Schuster is our pick to be the latest wideout to put six points on Miami.

MOST PASSING YARDS: MASON RUDOLPH (PIT) VS RYAN FITZPATRICK (MIA) (FITZPATRICK -106)

Rudolph doesn’t have more than 230 passing yards in any of his appearances this season. Fitzpatrick’s season-high is 282 and he has a history of big statistical performances. He has 17 career 300-yard games and last season he dropped 411 yards on the Steelers with Tampa Bay. That was just six yards short of his career-high.

PRESTON WILLIAMS (MIA) 74+ RECEIVING YARDS (+150)

If Fitzpatrick has any success through the air, it seems Williams will be involved. The rookie is Miami’s leading receiver and has gone over 60 yards in half of Miami’s games. Despite a tough matchup with the Bills last week, Williams picked up 82 yards. 

JAMES CONNER (PIT) 2+ TOUCHDOWNS (+200)

Conner isn’t exactly a yardage monster, but he’s scoring. He has at least one touchdown in four of six games and now he’s getting arguably the best matchup a running back could ask for. The nine touchdowns the Dolphins have allowed to running backs is the third-most in the league. That includes four receiving touchdowns, which is the most in the league. We’ll say there’s a good shot they let Conner into the end zone more than once.

MARK WALTON TO HAVE 15+ CARRIES, 50+ RUSHING YARDS, 1+ TOUCHDOWNS (+525)

Now that Drake is on his way to Miami, it seems this is now Walton’s show. Kalen Ballage has been an afterthought and Walton is seeing his role increase every week. That will certainly be the case this week as Walton is a good bet to see season highs in snaps and touches. This is a modest stat line for someone who expected to have plenty of opportunities. It’s a great bet at +525.
