We do this week’s piece in honor of the running backs. And you’ll notice that we did something cute here – we emphasizethe fact that the very dangerous Deebo Samuel is being utilized as a running back by the San Francisco 49ers.
And how – his 79 yards on the ground led the team in its 30-10 win at Jacksonville last weekend. He wasn’t even targeted for a pass until the second half. And they love the flexibility his presence as a halfback does for the offense.
So he can come at the opponent in different ways.
Miles Sanders Props Picks for Week 12
Time: Sunday, November 28 – 1 PM ET
TD Scoring Odds: +120 to score “Anytime” Touchdown
Hey, is there anything wrong with getting more people involved in the party? The Eagles have been running roughshod over their opponents. And that includes the New Orleans Saints, who came into last week’s game allowing just 3.1 yards per carry.
A number of people have been carrying the load. Jordan Howard is one of them, and he is on injured reserve. Boston Scott is another. Jalen Hurts, of course, is one of the league’s best when it comes to taking snaps and running with it.
Sanders just came off the IR and had 94 yards against the Saints. Amidst all of the flak the Eagles took last season, Sanders averaged 5.1 yards an attempt. This year he has 98 carries, but has not scored a touchdown. We’ll put this into the category of him being “due.”
Jonathan Taylor Props Picks for Week 12
Time: Sunday, November 28 – 1 PM ET
TD Scoring Odds: -200 to score “Anytime” Touchdown
Do we ever NOT want to have him on our list? He has now gone EIGHT consecutive games with both 100+ yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. And last week, he crossed the goal line FIVE times against a Buffalo defense that was one of the stingiest in the NFL.
Taylor is averaging 5.8 yards per carry – 3.8 of those yards after contact. And 34.7% of his touches has gone for either a first down or a touchdown.

Melvin Gordon Props Picks for Week 12
Chargers vs. Broncos Week 12 Picks
Time: Sunday, November 28 – 4:05 PM ET
TD Scoring Odds: +130 to score “Anytime” Touchdown
These days the Denver Broncos are dividing responsibilities in the backfield between Gordon and rookie Javonte Williams, and truth be told, Williams, who breaks tackles like very few backs in the NFL, could be a candidate here.
But Gordon, who has 522 rushing yards, is a guy we know the Broncos turn to when they are close to the end zone, as he has scored five touchdowns on the year.
Deebo Samuel Props Picks for Week 12
Time: Sunday, November 28 – 4:25 PM ET
TD Scoring Odds: -110 to score “Anytime” Touchdown
There are various things that make Samuel attractive here. One of them is that has registered more yardage per route than any receiver in the National Football League. Another is that he’s scored eight touchdowns already. And in the event running back Elijah Mitchell can’t play or is limited, Samuel is quite possibly going to be logging some more time in the backfield.
Austin Ekeler Props Picks for Week 12
Time: Sunday, November 28 – 4:05 PM ET
TD Scoring Odds: -175 to score “Anytime” Touchdown
Ekeler is on pace to score 132 points on 22 touchdowns. And what’s so attractive about him in this spot is not only that he has scored 13 TD’s, but seven of them are on the ground and six of them come from pass receptions.
So he could get to the end zone either way. He has been targeted 55 times by Justin Herbert, who doesn’t throw down the field enough as it is and may have to find this reliable outlet as Denver coach Vic Fangio is going to do his best to take away big plays.
