But let&#8217;s not forget that Chicago did some damage against Minnesota just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Week 12, the Vikings crept by the Bears with a 30-27 (OT) victory in what was arguably Caleb Williams&#8217; best game of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams finished with 340 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. His favourite target that day was Allen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game with ample offence, Allen posted game-highs in targets (15) and catches (nine), which turned into 86 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who says he can&#8217;t run it back and find the end zone again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allen doesn&#8217;t routinely see the WR1-type volume he enjoyed when Chicago last played Minnesota. But he is a consistent contributor for the Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>35+ yards in 8\/8 games since Week 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5+ targets in 10\/11 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago is a road underdog that&#8217;ll likely need to air it out. At this price, I think Allen is Monday&#8217;s top value play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Allen has been targeted inside the 10-yard line in two of the past three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>McCormick anytime TD (+130):<\/strong> It&#8217;s difficult to rise as quickly \u2014 and sincerely \u2014 as McCormick has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouncing to and from the Raiders&#8217; practice squad since last summer, McCormick finally got a chance in Week 12 when Zamir White hit the injured reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past three weeks, McCormick&#8217;s snap share has soared; from 10%, to 38%, and finally to 61% last Sunday. And suddenly, the undrafted 24-year-old is Vegas&#8217; RB1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alexander Mattison should be back this week, but Pierce said Sincere McCormick has earned the starting RB role: &quot;He has run his tail off.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Raiders?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Raiders<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VicTafur\/status\/1866912569249911295?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>McCormick hasn&#8217;t found the end zone yet, but he&#8217;s turned 32 carries into 175 yards (5.5 yards\/carry).
