Look of the Day for Mon. 9/9: Lazard is catching on

Our first NFL Look of the Day this season ended with a push on the Kansas City Chiefs-Baltimore Ravens under (thanks to Isaiah Likely's large toes). Let's gun for a winner with our favorite prop bet for the first "Monday Night Football' matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets. 

Look of the Day: Allen Lazard over 1.5 receptions (-114 FanDuel)

There's going to be a ton of star power on the field when the 49ers battle the Jets on "Monday Night Football," but we're bypassing all the big names and rolling with Lazard for our Look of the Day.

Aaron Rodgers is back under center for essentially the first time in 20 months. The future Hall of Famer played only four snaps last season before suffering a torn Achilles, so we're treating this like his first game with the Jets roster. Garrett Wilson is a fantastic talent, but he and Rodgers don't have any experience hooking up in the NFL. It likely won't be a seamless connection right away. 

Rodgers is a creature of habit and comfort. It's why he pressured the Jets to sign Lazard and Randall Cobb last season. When Rodgers feels uncomfortable — and he will on Monday night coming off a major injury and going up against a ferocious defensive front — he looks for the guys he trusts. Lazard is the only wide receiver on the roster who has earned that trust. 

Rodgers and Lazard have connected 170 times for 2,262 yards over the years, and they're going to add to that total in this game. Even without Rodgers on the field last year, Lazard was New York's No. 2 wide receiver in terms of snap count. Mike Williams is now in town, but he won't have a full workload right away coming off a torn ACL. Lazard should be on the field for at least 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps, giving him plenty of opportunities to clear this low number.
