Greg Ward Over 3.5 Receptions (+132)

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone through another year with a depleted wide receiver group. Throughout 2020, there have been several injuries to the group, leading to practice squad call ups and unexpected extra playing time for some players.

If there’s one thing that has stayed the same, it’s been that Greg Ward is always there. Ward has been healthy all season and seems to always be around the ball when a big third down conversion is needed. He’s gone from a practice squad hopeful to an NFL caliber wide receiver in the last year.

This week, we are going to ride with Ward.

On the season, Ward has 37 receptions in nine games, and has gone over the 3.5 mark in six of the nine games. I expect Carson Wentz to target Ward regularly to convert on short and intermediate third down scenarios against a shaky Cleveland Browns defense. Again, with no Myles Garrett for the Browns on Sunday, this should give Wentz extra time to find Ward.

If anything has been constant for the Philadelphia Eagles this season, it has been the reliability and availability of Greg Ward. This week is a good week to ride with Ward to be a reliable pass catcher for this offense. Great value here for Ward this week.
