My favorite bet from the TD Show and one of the top ATD edges in the Prop Tool right now as I’m projecting this closer to +240

Jaylin Noel
Over 7.5 rec yds (-110 at B365, -115 at MGM and Hard Rock)
Over 1.5 receptions (+180 at 365, +175 at Hard Rock)
Noel has averaged a 37.6% route share over the last five weeks with all the Texans WRs healthy. However, that's ticked up over the past two weeks to 43.2% and 45.7%, so he may be in line to keep a higher workload.
Even without that the underlying factors are good here for Noel.
First, the Cardinals generate a pressure rate over expected (PrROE) at the 4th lowest rate in the league, so Texans QB C.J. Stroud shouldn't face too much pressure. His completion rate skyrockts to just above 70% from just below 50% when pressured.
Fortunately for Noel, in this five game stretch only he and Xavier Hutchinson see their targets per route more than double when Stroud has a clean pocket. However, unlike Hutchinson, Noel has a positive coverage matchup, racking up almost double the efficiency against Cover 4, which the Cardinals use at the highest rate in the NFL while Hutchinson mostly does his damage against man coverage which Arizona uses only 20% of the time (11th lowest).
I also like over 1.5 receptions at +180 at Bet365 or +170 at Hard Rock, but those appear to be the only options as MGM is at just +130 and isn't really any value at that price, so if you don't have 365 or Hard Rock, just roll with the yardage which is also available at MGM.
If you have yardage only, 1 unit is fine, otherwise split your unit between the two at 0.6 on the yards and 0.4 on the receptions.

This is a brutal matchup and another spot where the Cardinals should be in a trailing, pass-heavy game script. They have a ton of injuries on defense that should allow the Texans to move the ball and put up points. Plus, they’ll be without their top offensive lineman, LT Paris Johnson, who is out with a knee injury, along with RG Evan Brown.
Emari Demercado, who remains questionable, may also return. When he was healthy a few weeks ago, he really ate into Knight’s early-down work and made it more of a 3-way committee. That would only lower Knight’s floor even more in this market.
I’m projecting this closer to 31.5 with around a 60% chance he stays under 36.5.
