Quarterback Props: Rodgers vs Maye
D. Maye is projected for 227 passing yards, 1.7 touchdowns, and 0.9 interceptions with a strong A matchup grade, making him one of the more attractive passing props in the early window. A. Rodgers carries a difficult D matchup grade and projects for just 197.3 passing yards and 0.8 touchdowns, the lowest touchdown projection among Sunday's early starters — worth a look for under-the-line passing touchdown props.
Running Back and Receiver Props
R. Stevenson's B- matchup grade and 92.8-total-yard projection make him one of the stronger anytime-touchdown plays in the game, while Pittsburgh's J. Warren (74.1 total yards, 0.5 touchdowns) carries a tougher D- matchup grade. D. Metcalf leads all Steelers vs Patriots pass-catchers in target share at 22.2% (6.5 targets per game), giving him a strong receptions-prop floor even in a difficult offensive matchup.
