Our favorite Jaguars player props for Week 18 against the Titans.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking on the Tennessee Titans at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Here are our favorite player prop bets (via DraftKings Sportsbook) for this week’s contest.

Calvin Ridley over 48.5 receiving yards (-110)

The Titans have allowed the third-most catches and sixth-most yards to opposing receivers this season. According to ESPN, “Tennessee has surrendered the seventh-most fantasy points to receivers, including the second most to the perimeter and ninth fewest to the slot.”

Ridley had 7 catches for 103 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 11 against the Titans. He needs 90 yards on Sunday to reach 1,000 on the season.

Evan Engram under 51.5 receiving yards (-115)

Engram had a career day against the Titans in Week 14 last season, recording 11 catches for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, in the two games against Tennessee since, Engram has stat lines of 4-27-0 and 4-29-0.

I don’t think the Jaguars will need to utilize him downfield enough to go over this number.

Travis Etienne over 77.5 rushing + receiving yards (-115)

Doug Pederson on Monday:

“…When you stick to the run game, it may not be pretty. I think we had 27 or 28 yards in the first half. It’s not pretty, but things begin to open up in the second half and you get those longer runs that really help and spark your offense. It’s something that sometimes as coaches we get a little impatient with the run game, but it was a great example of us sticking with it yesterday.”

I’m expecting the Jaguars to continue to ride Etienne on Sunday, especially with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) a true game-time decision.

Derrick Henry anytime touchdown scorer (+105)

During Tennessee’s current three-game losing skid, Henry has 47 carries for 139 yards (2.96 YPC) and a single touchdown. However, his poor production has been due more to the offense around him than Henry himself. Expect Tennessee to try to get him into the end zone in what could be his final game as a Titan.

Titans team total under 18.5 points (-110)

Regardless of who ends up winning, I expect this to be a slow-paced game, in which both teams rely on their defense and run game to pull out a gritty victory. Pederson’s Jaguars have beaten Vrabel’s Titans by scores of 36-22, 20-16, and 34-14.

Full Week 18 bet slip:

  • Calvin Ridley over 48.5 receiving yards (-110)
  • Evan Engram under 51.5 receiving yards (-115)
  • Travis Etienne over 77.5 rushing + receiving yards (-115)
  • Derrick Henry anytime touchdown scorer (+105)
  • Titans team total under 18.5 points (-110)

Last week: 2-3

Full season: 29-34
