10 player performance trends shaping NFL Week 5 prop betting

Ten player prop trends line up with Dimers' Week 5 NFL player projections, each one reinforced rather than contradicted by the model's numbers. Five belong to running backs and receivers, where Dimers sees enough volume to back the recent streak outright. Four more belong to quarterbacks, led by Joe Burrow's passing yardage trend, which carries the single biggest gap on this list in either direction. One tight end trend rounds out the group.

Here is where the most recent NFL trends and Dimers' player projections for Sunday agree - both tools are available with a Dimers Pro subscription.

Xavier Hutchinson's receiving trend gets the strongest receiver backing

Xavier Hutchinson has topped 14.5 receiving yards in five of his last five appearances, and Dimers projects 20.9 receiving yards for Sunday's game against Tennessee, nearly seven yards clear of that line. Of the receiver and running back trends on this list, this one gets the widest margin of support.

Darnell Mooney's yardage trend holds up with room to spare

Darnell Mooney has recorded more than 18.5 receiving yards in seven of his last eight appearances, and Dimers projects 24 receiving yards for Sunday's game against Washington, more than five yards above that line.

Calvin Ridley's receiving number clears with a similar cushion

Calvin Ridley has topped 9.5 receiving yards in nine of his last 10 appearances, and Dimers projects 14.7 receiving yards for Sunday's game against Houston, more than five yards clear of that line.

Chris Olave's perfect streak gets real support from the projection

Chris Olave has recorded more than 79.5 receiving yards in all six of his appearances this season, and Dimers projects 83.9 receiving yards for Sunday's game against Minnesota, backing a perfect streak with more than four yards of cushion.

David Montgomery's receiving trend clears, if by a smaller margin

David Montgomery has topped 9.5 receiving yards in five of his last five appearances, and Dimers projects 11.7 receiving yards for Sunday's game against Tennessee. The gap is the smallest among the receiver and running back trends here, but it still lands on the same side of the line.

Joe Burrow's passing yardage trend gets the biggest backing on this list

Joe Burrow has topped 224.5 passing yards in nine of his last 10 appearances, and Dimers projects 252.7 passing yards for Sunday's game against Miami, nearly 28 yards above that line, the widest gap of any trend on this list in either direction.

Kyler Murray's rushing trend nearly doubles its own number

Kyler Murray has recorded more than 15.5 rushing yards in nine of his last 10 appearances, and Dimers projects 30 rushing yards for Sunday's game against New Orleans, roughly double that line. Minnesota's offense has leaned on Murray's legs enough that the model sees significantly more than his already strong recent average.

Aaron Rodgers' completions trend holds up by a wide margin

Aaron Rodgers has finished under 26.5 passing completions in all five of his appearances this season, and Dimers projects 21.3 completions for Sunday's game against Indianapolis, more than five completions under that line.

Kirk Cousins' completions trend gets similar support

Kirk Cousins has finished under 26.5 passing completions in six of his last seven appearances, and Dimers projects 21.4 completions for Sunday's game against New England, also more than five completions under that line.

Trey McBride's receiving trend holds up by a narrow margin

Trey McBride has finished under 80.5 receiving yards in six of his last seven appearances, and Dimers projects 78.6 receiving yards on 7.22 catches for Sunday's game against Detroit, just under that line. Arizona continues to funnel targets through McBride, and the projection backs the trend, even if by a thinner margin than the other matches on this list.

What these trends have in common

All 10 of these trends get backing from Dimers' Week 5 NFL projections rather than pushback. Burrow's and Murray's numbers stand out for how far past the line Dimers projects them, the receiver trends from Hutchinson, Mooney, Ridley, and Olave clear their numbers by a more modest but still meaningful cushion, and McBride's tight end trend holds up by the narrowest margin on the list.
