What cashed

Brock Bowers 5+ receptions (-310 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Bowers had 5 or more catches in 4 of 5 games this season on 8 to 14 targets a game, and his 4+ catch line had hit 10 straight times. - What happened: Bowers caught 7 of his 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns, 2.5 over the line. His 12-yard touchdown in the first quarter was the first touchdown of the game. His fifth catch was a 2-yard touchdown in the third quarter that pulled Las Vegas within 23-21. His longest was a 27-yarder on the first play of the second half. - Worth watching: Ten targets fits the 8 to 14 range from our read. As long as that volume holds, a catch line in this range stays within reach, though the price was steep.

Kirk Cousins 175+ passing yards (-400 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Cousins had cleared 175 passing yards in each of his last five games, 8 of his last 10 and 6 of 7 this season, and our pregame note had him confirmed as the starter over Mendoza. - What happened: Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions, 72.5 yards over the line. He also ran in a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter and was sacked once. - Worth watching: He threw only 26 passes and still cleared by a wide margin at 9.5 yards per attempt. The yardage case held up, but at -400 the price leaves very little room, so the number you can get matters more than the yards.

ALT: Michael Mayer 3+ receptions (-163 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Mayer had at least 3 catches in 8 of his last 10 games and 13 of his last 20. The -163 price implied 62%, against about 69% from his recent games. - What happened: Mayer caught 5 of his 6 targets for 53 yards, 2.5 over the line. His third catch was a 13-yarder late in the third quarter on the 84-yard drive that ended with Jalen Nailor's go-ahead touchdown. His longest was a 19-yard catch on the drive before that, which ended with Cousins scoring. - Worth watching: Six targets with Bowers also on the field is a steady role. A low alt catch number fits that kind of usage.

Ashton Jeanty 60+ rushing + receiving yards (-381 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Jeanty had cleared 60 scrimmage yards in 9 of his last 10 games, 8 of 10 on the road, and averaged 99.5 over that stretch. - What happened: Jeanty finished with 73 scrimmage yards, 13.5 over the line, and 64 of them came on 3 catches. The one that put him over was a 45-yard catch on the first play of the fourth quarter, on the go-ahead touchdown drive. - Worth watching: A combined yardage line gives a back two ways to get there, and this game showed why: most of Jeanty's yards came as a receiver. That two-way usage is worth keeping in mind when his combined line comes up again.
