Is Allen Lazard playing today? (Injury update, impact of prop bets for Jets vs. Pats

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard is reportedly listed as questionable in Week 8 against the New England Patriots due to a pectoral injury.

Lazard has been solid for the Jets this season, but his role was expected to take a step back after the team acquired star Davante Adams before Week 7.

Aaron Rodgers still likes Lazard as a red zone target, so his injury could impact the Jets’ passing game.

That said, there is a way to bet on this matchup in the prop market, and it might not be what you think.

Jets receivers should see a boost, but they have a running back who should remain a focal point of the offense on Sunday – through the air.

Breece Hall MORE THAN 3.5 Receptions (-155)

Jets running back Breece Hall has been inconsistent as a runner this season, but he has been one of Rodgers’ favorite targets in the passing game.

Hall has 32 catches and 43 goals in seven games, an average of more than six goals per week. He has 3.5 receptions in five games, including a four-catch game against the Pats earlier this season.

Not only that, but Hall saw nine targets and made six catches in Week 7, despite the Jets adding Adams to the roster. He’s a good bet at this low number in Week 8.
