Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills (+1400) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stefon Diggs has been producing a classic boom-or-bust season. He's posted three 100-plus-yard games, and three straight outings with a touchdown at one point. The veteran has also put up seven games with fewer than 30 yards, including three consecutively.
But he now gets an opportunity to resume his booming and end the busting, as the susceptible Ravens defense has allowed the seventh-most receptions to wide receivers and the 10th-most yards.

Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (+1000) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Patriots' defense is also vulnerable against the pass, though to a lesser degree. The team sits 14th while allowing 205.1 yards per game, and New England has been doing more breaking than bending in the red zone, as the Patriots are tied for the sixth-most touchdowns given up to wide receivers (16).
Like the Ravens' passing offense as a whole, Zay Flowers has put together an inconsistent season. That includes a dud in Week 13 with just six yards on two catches. But he's averaging 17.5 yards per grab across his last two games, which encompasses scoring last week, and 124 yards in the previous game.

Drake Maye, QB, Patriots (+2000) ⭐⭐⭐
Drake Maye is putting together a quality season as a rusher with 362 yards, putting him eighth among quarterbacks. That includes a single-game high of 62 yards and four with 40-plus, one of which came last week, along with two of his four rushing touchdowns.
The NFL weather report for Week 16 shows frigid conditions are expected in Baltimore tonight. That will lead to a difficult passing environment. It could also prompt more running from Maye, especially in the red zone, where he's logged 15 attempts.
He's easily the best long-shot first touchdown scorer candidate tonight, and Phil Wood also likes the Over on Maye's passing yards total in his Patriots vs. Ravens player props.
