Let's dive into my Dolphins vs Steelers player props for Monday Night Football.
Dolphins vs Steelers Player Props
- Aaron Rodgers Under 0.5 Interceptions (-130)

- De’Von Achane Anytime Touchdown (-110)
Dolphins vs Steelers Prop Picks, Preview
Aaron Rodgers Under 0.5 Interceptions (-130)
The Steelers’ 42-year old quarterback has been serviceable without being anywhere near his best this season.
However, one area in which Aaron Rodgers has been very efficient in has been interceptions, with him turning the ball over just seven times. The most recent of which came back in Week 10.
The Dolphins defense isn’t anywhere near being the best in the NFL and they’ve been poor at forcing turnovers. They’ve just managed seven interceptions this season, with only seven teams picking off their opponents less.
Pick: Aaron Rodgers Under 0.5 Interceptions (-130)
DK Metcalf Over 4.5 Receptions (+100)
Both Rodgers and DK Metcalf arrived in Pittsburgh this season and they’ve developed chemistry instantly.
Metcalf has become the former Packers’ QB favorite target and he’s had over 40 more targets than Calvin Austin, the next highest wideout on the list.
Through 13 games, we’ve seen Metcalf targeted 87 times, hauling in 52 of them. That means he’s had an average of four receptions per game.
However, his numbers have improved over the past month.
He’s had five or more receptions in three of his past four games, and last week’s win over the Ravens saw him have a season high in both receptions (7) and targets (12).
Pick: DK Metcalf Over 4.5 Receptions (+100)
Jaylen Wright Over 18.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
De’Von Achane is the main man in Miami, but Jaylen Wright really showed out when Achane when down injured last week.
He played lights out in that win over the Jets, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and finding the end zone.
While Achane was missing, one of the most impressive things was that he had 24 carries.
The team really trusted Wright to carry the football.
Achane is looking likely to be back on Monday Night Football, but even with that, it’s likely that Wright has earned more touches.
He isn’t going to take over this backfield, but he can add something different, and Mike McDaniel will utilize that.
Pick: Jaylen Wright Over 18.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
De'Von Achane Anytime Touchdown (-110)
He might be questionable on the injury report at the time of writing, but it’s looking likely that Achane will be healthy enough to suit up for MNF.
That’s great news for the Dolphins, with Achane being one of the most explosive running backs in the league.
The Steelers have only given up six touchdowns to running backs, but Achane is a different beast.
He’s scored 11 touchdowns this season, with four coming in the receiving game.
Achane also recorded 20+ touches in five straight games before going down injured last week. He gets a lot of volume and has averaged a touchdown per game over the team’s past four outings.
Pick: De’Von Achane Anytime Touchdown (-110)
