Saints-Vikings Player Prop Pick for Joshua Dobbs
Last week must’ve felt like a fairy tale for Joshua Dobbs. After spending less than a week as a member of the Vikings, Dobbs was called into action after starting quarterback Jaren Hall took a shot in the red zone that knocked him out of the game. Dobbs came in and saved the day — kinda. Before his historic win, the Atlanta Falcons got to Dobbs for a safety and forced a fumble. It got much better for Dobbs after he got acclimated with his new team. He threw two touchdown passes, including the game-winner with 22 seconds left. Oh, and Mr. Do It All also ran for a touchdown.
The matchup gets much more difficult for Dobbs against a Saints team that has relied on their defense to keep them in games this season. The Saints defense has been no slouch against opposing quarterbacks this season. They’re allowing the fifth-fewest yards per completion and the second-lowest completion percentage. But if we look at the quarterbacks they’ve faced, it makes sense: Tyson Bagent, Gardner Minshew and Mac Jones are just some of the few names they’ve faced. I would take Dobbs this season over all of those quarterbacks, especially with the weapons he has at his disposal. Justin Jefferson is unlikely to play, but T.J. Hockenson should be a full go come Sunday.
FanDuel currently has the edge with Dobbs at 201.5 passing yards while the rest of the market is settled at 208.5. Look for the Vikings’ new leader to be given full rein of the playbook after a week of practice with the first team and try to take the top off the New Orleans defense with rookie Jordan Addison — especially with Minnesota’s run game struggling. Alexander Mattison is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry.
