1. CeeDee Lamb OVER 82.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Lamb’s 82.5-yard line is aggressive but his ceiling and current-season production make the Over our favorite Dallas prop. The KofSports tool shows Lamb has cleared 82.5 in 3 of 4 games this season and 6 of his last 10. His recent results are 189, 112, 153, 44 and 4 receiving yards. Tampa Bay has allowed 857 passing yards through 4 games with opponents completing 69.4% of their attempts. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. has missed practice this week with a rib injury while Lamb was a full participant Monday and Tuesday despite a thigh designation. At -111, we’ll back the ceiling and season hit rate.

2. Emeka Egbuka OVER 2.5 Receptions (-159)

The price is heavier but 2.5 receptions is a low threshold for Egbuka especially if playing from behind as expected. KofSports shows him Over this number in 3 of 4 games this season, with recent reception totals of 2, 5, 3, 5 and 1. That is a 60% hit rate across his last 5 and last 10 samples and a 75% season hit rate. Dallas has allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 71.3% of their passes through 4 games. Baker Mayfield has missed practice with a right-thumb injury so confirm Tampa Bay’s final quarterback status before kickoff; the low three-catch requirement remains appealing, but the -159 price makes that news important.

3. Ted Hurst III OVER 23.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Hurst is the cleanest trend play of the three. The KofSports tool shows him 4-for-4 to the Over this season, with 25, 40, 27, and 36 receiving yards. Every game in the available sample has cleared Thursday’s 23.5-yard line. Dallas has allowed 970 passing yards on 115 attempts, a 71.3% completion rate, 8.4 yards per attempt and 9 passing touchdowns through 4 games without an interception. At -111, a 23.5-yard threshold against a defense allowing efficient passing production is a combination we’re willing to attack.

Final Thoughts

Lamb gives us the highest ceiling, Hurst brings a perfect 4-for-4 season hit rate at his current threshold, and Egbuka gives us a low three-catch requirement. The biggest pregame item is Tampa Bay’s quarterback status so check the final injury report and current lines before kickoff. This analysis is based on the numbers available Tuesday night and should be treated as a snapshot, not a guarantee.
