NFL Player Prop Bets – Week 3
All Player Prop lines are from the DraftKings Sportsbook.
This will be updated throughout the week as new props are posted.
On Sept. 21, 2021:
For Thursday Night Game:
The Play: WR Brandin Cooks (HOU) Receiving Yards
The Line: 72.5 receiving yards
The Pick: Under (-115)
With QB Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) placed on IR, backup Davis Mills should be enough of a downgrade for this to hit. Mills will face a Panthers’ defense currently leading the league in sacks (10) and QB hits (21). The Panthers’ defense currently ranks 2nd vs. WRs in fantasy points allowed.
On Sept. 22, 2021:
The Play: WR Darius Slayton (NYG) Receiving Yards
The Line: 37.5 receiving yards
The Pick: Over (-115)
Slayton has averaged 59.5 receiving yards on 6.5 targets (against Denver and Washington), and now faces the Falcons who rank 21st vs. WRs in fantasy points allowed and 18th in receiving yards allowed.
The Play: WR James Robinson (JAX) Rush Attempts
The Line: 13.5 rush attempts
The Pick: Under (-150)
The Jaguars are touchdown dogs against the Cardinals with Robinson owning an 8 carry avg. against Denver and Houston, both double-digit losses. Now come the Cardinals. The game-script should dictate more receptions, but he doesn’t even get much of those.
On Sept. 23, 2021:
The Play: WR Russell Wilson (SEA) Pass Attempts
The Line: 37.5 pass attempts
The Pick: Under (-145)
Wilson has averaged 27 attempts thru 2 games, including an OT loss (31 attempts). Wilson’s modus operandi is about efficiency, not volume. Also helps the Seahawks are favored.
The Play: WR Ty’Son Williams (BAL) Rush Attempts
The Line: 13.5 rush attempts
The Pick: Under (-115)
The Ravens run an RBBC, now with Ty’Son, and newly implemented injury replacements Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman. All the while, this group is still led by Lamar Jackson. Ty’Son shouldn’t be needed extensively anyway, with the Lions getting trucked.
The Play: WR Joe Burrow (CIN) Pass Attempts
The Line: 36.5 pass attempts
The Pick: Under (-115)
Burrows attempts have nose-dived comparatively to last season, where he averaged over 40 attempts/gm. Through two games, he’s averaging 28.5, as a shift in philosophy may be unfolding.
