<h2>Quarterback Spotlight: Can Allen & McCarthy Repeat Success?</h2>

<p>All eyes will be on <strong>Josh Allen</strong>, despite a strong Week 1 performance. While he threw for nearly 400 yards, a significant portion came in garbage time.  Bet365 is offering -110 odds on Allen going *under* 235.5 passing yards.  His historical matchups against the Jets suggest this is a smart play – he’s averaged just 215 and 182 yards in his last two games against them.  Don't let last week's fireworks fool you; Allen's consistency against this defense points to a lower yardage total.</p>

<p>Similarly, the hype surrounding <strong>JJ McCarthy</strong> after his late-game heroics against the Bears should be tempered.  BetMGM has him at -115 to go *under* 220.5 passing yards against the Falcons. Atlanta’s pass defense isn’t impenetrable, but McCarthy is still finding his footing. Expect a more conservative approach this week.</p>

<h2>Running Back Power: Henry & Hall Lead the Charge</h2>

<p><strong>Derrick Henry</strong> is poised for a big Week 2. DraftKings offers -113 odds on him exceeding 94.5 rushing yards against the Browns. While Cleveland limited him last season, the Ravens’ potent passing game with Joe Flacco could force them to rely more heavily on Henry to control the clock.  This is a classic game-script play.</p>

<p>Keep an eye on <strong>Breece Hall</strong>. He exploded for 107 yards last week, and Buffalo’s defense allowed a generous 8.2 yards per carry in Week 1.  At -115 to go *over* 55.5 rushing yards, Hall represents excellent value. The Jets’ offensive line is improving, and Hall’s talent is undeniable.</p>

<h2>Receivers & Tight Ends: Lamb & Jones Face Tough Tests</h2>

<p><strong>CeeDee Lamb</strong> remains a focal point of the Cowboys’ offense. DraftKings has him at -113 to exceed 77.5 receiving yards against the Giants. Despite a couple of dropped passes last week, Dak Prescott will likely target Lamb heavily, especially against a vulnerable Giants secondary.</p>

<p>However, don’t expect a repeat performance from <strong>Daniel Jones</strong> against the Broncos. FanDuel offers -114 odds on him going *under* 204.5 passing yards. While he looked sharp against the Dolphins, Denver’s defense is a different beast.  His average passing yards are 209.2, but the Broncos will make him work for every yard.</p>

<h2>Dark Horse Plays: Jackson, Dobbins & Maye</h2>

<p><strong>Lamar Jackson</strong> has a favorable matchup against the Browns, with Bet365 offering -110 odds on him exceeding 42.5 rushing yards. He’s consistently surpassed this total against Cleveland throughout his career, averaging 57.5 yards in 13 games.</p>

<p><strong>JK Dobbins</strong> could also have a productive day.  BetMGM has him at -115 to go *over* 46.5 rushing yards against the Colts. Denver’s offense is showing promise, and a balanced attack could create opportunities for Dobbins.</p>

<p>Finally, <strong>Drake Maye</strong> is projected to attempt *over* 30.5 passes at -105 (BetMGM). While his 46 attempts last week were inflated by a struggling run game, expect a more balanced approach against Miami, potentially leading to around 30 pass attempts.</p>

<h2>Herbert's High Ceiling: A Safe Bet?</h2>

<p><strong>Justin Herbert</strong> is a strong contender to exceed 247.5 passing yards against the Raiders (Bet365 -110). While the Raiders are under new leadership, their pass defense was historically weak last season.  Harbaugh’s willingness to let Herbert air it out, as seen in Week 1, suggests he’ll have another big game.</p>
