J. Michael Sturdivant at +1050 (10-to-1) anytime touchdown is the long-shot play. He played 13% of snaps last week but caught a 43-yard touchdown pass that was nullified on an offensive pass interference call. Coaches indicated after the game that this touchdown would have been his first, and they expect it to come soon. Facing the Dallas Cowboys defense, which allows flexibility in scoring methods, Sturdivant represents a narrative-based value play with upside.

Sturdivant is one of three receivers (along with Skyy Moore and Bo Melton) who will share responsibility for replacing Jayden Reed's production.

Sean Koerner highlights J. Michael Sturdivant as a sneaky touchdown value at 14-1 odds. Sturdivant is an undrafted rookie out of Florida who made the 53-man roster and is part of the Packers' wide receiver rotation with Jaden Reed out indefinitely. He ran 33% of routes last week and could see increased volume. Koerner compares him to A.D. Mitchell or Timu George Pickens—a 6'3" receiver with 4.44 speed—and notes Jordan Love's aggressive downfield throwing style (similar to Jameis Winston) creates opportunity for a touchdown in the coming weeks.

Sturdivant had 3 catches for 22 yards with +1.11 EPA per Reception; two of his receptions came on slants with +2.23 EPA per Reception, showcasing the skill he displayed in the preseason. The source notes he is a big, fast receiver with suddenness on slants, and if he develops on the outside, it could allow the Packers to use Watson more in the slot.
