Marvin Mims Jr. Score a Touchdown (Yes: +440)
Mims gets a big bump up the depth chart with Franklin and Bryant nursing injuries. He had a great day in the Divisional Round, catching all eight passes his way including a 26-yard TD catch in the 4Q. He’s much stronger vs. man coverage and that’s what the Pats roll out and New England CB Carlton Davis is questionable.
Harvey’s role in the receiving game spiked in the back third of the schedule, drawing four or more targets in five of the final six regular season games as well as six targets against the Bills last week. Denver’s passing playbook is pretty simple to begin with and his role gets a boost with a backup QB looking for short and easy throws. Pats run stop is great and they sell out to make Stidham beat them. All projections for Harvey above this total with most at 21 yards or more.

AJ Barner o0.5 Rushing Yards (+120)
Barner actually saw more action as a rusher than receiver in the Divisional Round. He drew zero targets but got one carry for two yards as a short yardage option. The Seahawks' version of the "Tush Push" is named the "Barn Yard", with Barner collecting 10 carries during the regular season, including three attempts in two games with the Rams. With Zach Charbonnet out, the Seahawks could call upon Barner more as a ball carrier - especially in short yardage as to not wear down or injure RB Kenneth Walker. Projections give Barner around 3.5 yards rushing on one carry this Sunday.
Rashid Shaheed o1.5 Rushing Yards (-105)
Seattle has used the speedster as a running option a lot since picking him up at the trade deadline, including two runs for 27 yards against the 49ers last week. With the injury to RB Zach Charbonnet, the Seahawks need to find other ways to run the ball, beside Kenneth Walker. Shaheed will be that option. He averages just under eight yards per carry and some projections are at 11+ yards on the ground.
