In Week five of our Thursday Night Football Player Prop Bets: Odds, Picks & Predictions we get to preview the 1-2-1 Indianapolis Colts vs. 2-2 Denver Broncos. Each team has seen its fair share of ups and down on offense this season, and to make things more complex they head into this game without their top running backs. The Colts will look for a new identity as backups Nyheim Hines and Phillip Lindsay try to fill the void left by star running back Jonathan Taylor. Meanwhile, the Broncos will start their first game without stand-out running back Javonte Williams as he is now lost for the season after a torn ACL. Newly signed veteran Latavius Murray will join Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone as the Broncos look for the right combination to find success on the ground. The good news for both teams is that the forecast in Denver for Thursday's game is 63% with winds under 10 MPH so weather won't be a factor.

- Player: Courtland Sutton
- Player Prop: 4.5 Receptions (-115)
- Recommendation: Bet the Over
The top player prop for tonight's game is Courtland Sutton's reception prop at 4.5. Sutton has been solid so far this season hitting the five-reception mark three straight weeks after a four-reception performance in Week 1. This production is despite the fact he has faced very tough matchups this season for outside WRs. In three of his first four games Sutton has had a bottom 10 matchup in Seahawks (29th), 49ers (25th), and Raiders (31st) in fantasy points allowed to outside WRs.
