The Week 10 NFL slate presents us with several interesting angles for player prop bets, but perhaps none is more interesting than what will take place in Cincinnati. The Houston Texans are without lead receiver Nico Collins, which means it’s up to their reserves to step up. Let’s dive into the Texans-Bengals player prop markets to pick the best bet for Week 10, which is a bet on Robert Woods.

What year is it? It may be 2023, but we’re still getting some action down on longtime veteran wide receiver Robert Woods. The 31-year-old veteran found his way to Houston this offseason to provide some veteran leadership in a young and inexperienced receiving room, and with lead option Nico Collins, I expect the veteran slot receiver to step up on Sunday. Woods is expected to make his return from a multi-game absence due to injury. Woods is averaging 37.8 receiving yards on 7.2 targets per game, but the books are listing his receiving yardage prop at only 32.5. Pathetic!
Woods beat the 32.5 in Weeks 1, 2 and 3 with 57, 74 and 34 total receiving yards. He went for only 26 yards in Week 4 and 30 in Week 5 before getting injured after recording only six in Week 6. Although the downward trend is concerning, the absence of Nico Collins this week frees up 78.9 receiving yards and 6.6 targets, and they’ll have to go somewhere. Unfortunately for quarterback C.J. Stroud, none of his reserves can quite fill the shoes of the 6-foot-4 Collins — 6-foot-2 Noah Brown is the next-best option on the boundary, with 6-foot Robert Woods slotting in ahead of 5-foot-8 Nathaniel Dell.

I like Woods in this spot because the Cincinnati Bengals have recently struggled to stop receivers over the middle. To some, this may look like a unique issue against tight ends, as Dalton Kincaid racked up 81 yards on 10 receptions last week, while George Kittle went for 149 yards on nine receptions the week before. However, Kincaid and Kittle are just two of their offense’s best players in the middle of the field — Seattle’s Tyler Lockett, who also fits that profile, racked up 94 yards on six receptions against them earlier in the year. Look for Woods to record at least average numbers in his return to the Houston offense.
