Couldn’t have asked for a better start to the player props this year.
We nailed the main side of both player props to kick off Week 1 as Omarion Hampton fought his way into the end zone in an otherwise forgettable Chargers performance.
Breece Hall also plunged in for a touchdown for a dominant Jets victory at plus-money odds.
If you followed our “Sunday Night Football” and Lions vs. Saints props, we also hit Cam Skattebo touchdown and plus-money and Jameson Williams Over receptions.
On just the weekly props piece, you’d be up 1.86 units if you bet the short side of those two, but we also nailed a +220 same-parlay in Cardinals vs. Chargers, alternate Over 58 points (+230) in Buccaneers-Bengals and Giants moneyline (+130) with the Skattebo touchdown (+115).
We’ll keep a separate ledge for long shots, currently 0-1 in this props column.
That’s the start we’re looking to replicate in Week 2.
RECORD: 2-0 (+1.86 units) | Long shots: 0-1
Week 2 NFL player props and picks
Bryce Young Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+133, ProphetX) | Over 2.5 (+515, DraftKings)
The Atlanta Falcons are a joke as they prepare to send Cooper Rush out there for a second time after posting one of the worst games in recent memory by a quarterback.
But did anyone watch Bryce Young in Week 1? In the midst of a shootout with the Bears, Young went nearly toe-to-toe, minus a few inches, in a 37-point scoring outburst.
What makes Young’s history in Atlanta interesting is his track record there. Per Warren Sharp, here are Young’s last two starts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium:
2025: 448 passing yards, three passing touchdowns.
2024: 251 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns
Atlanta’s defense should be one of the worst units in the NFL this year and provides a solid spot for Young to cook.
Betting on the NFL?
Rico Dowdle Over 9.5 rushing attempts (+143, BetRivers)
No long shot side of this prop as Jaylen Warren will garner plenty of the work in his own right, though I believe he is the much better receiver of the two.
As I nearly tore my eyes out watching Falcons-Steelers last week, I noticed Rico Dowdle got most of the work for Pittsburgh despite being ineffective. The stats bear that out; Dowdle was on the field for 58 percent of snaps compared to 37 percent for Warren.
I expect this game to be a rock fight and Aaron Rodgers looks as washed as ever.
Jadarian Price anytime touchdown scorer (+155, Fanatics Sportsbook)
Here’s what the Seahawks offensive coordinator says about rookie running back Jadarian Price.
“[Price] obviously earned more reps moving forward,” Brian Fleury said recently.
The eye test showed that Price has tons of juice and is clearly their best running back. In a game that I suspect the Seahawks will win rather easily, Price is one of my best bets of the week.
Antonio Williams Over 26.5 receiving yards(-104, Novig) | Over 69.5 receiving yards (+900, Caesars Sportsbook)
Early returns on Antonio Williams show he is a star rookie receiver.
In Week 1 against a solid Eagles defense, Williams caught four passes for 64 yards and a touchdown, earning the highest grade among rookie receivers from Pro Football Focus (91.2).
His 5.82 yards per route run was topped only by Zay Flowers in Week 1. Williams is a budding star; buy him everywhere you can against the Cowboys’ horrific defense.
