⬇️ A.J. Brown Under 61.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Is A.J. Brown ... OK?

Brown has a total of 35 yards on six catches through two games this year, and is now going up against a Los Angeles Rams defense that is the fourth-best unit against the pass early in the season. Brown's combined 35 yards in two games is the lowest regular-season two-game total of his career since Week 2 and 3 of his rookie season in 2019 - when he totaled 29 yards.

Granted, Los Angeles shut down the Tennessee Titans a week ago, but in Week 1, they locked Nico Collins down to three catches for 25 yards. This will be the first real test, but so far, if any team has had any success against the Rams, it's been on the ground, which means a steady dose of Saquon Barkley is likely on the way.

We might be seeing some Brown tantrums on the sideline come Week 3.

Stick to BetMGM for this wager, as other sportsbooks have his total at or near the 59.5 area. The -115 odds will pay you $8.70 on a $10 winning wager.


⬆️ Bucky Irving Over 70.5 rushing yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The volume will be there once again for Bucky Irving against the Jets - he's averaging just over 15 attempts through two weeks and is going up against a New York unit giving up 138 rushing yards per game.

The recipe to beat the Jets is on the ground, too, after James Cook cooked them for 132 yards on 21 attempts in Week 2.


  6️⃣ Deebo Samuel anytime touchdown (+205) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Samuel has been everything the Commanders have wanted and more. 

He's back to being one of the best gadget players in the NFL and has scored both a rushing and receiving touchdown coming into Week 3. From a pure volume standpoint, Deebo has racked up team-leading 18 targets through two weeks, and should be able to score against a Raiders team giving up 256 yards per game through the air - good for 26th in the NFL.


⬇️Quinshon Judkins Under 43.5 rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yes, Judkins will be the No. 1 running back in Cleveland, he may also become their workhorse down the stretch. However, he will be limited today and will be going up against one of the best run defenses in all of football while facing a negative game script. Feel free to fade Judkins in Week 3.

🔥 Amon-Ra St. Brown anytime touchdown scorer (+130) ⭐⭐⭐

This is another pure volume play, as we'll likely see a shootout between the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The sportsbooks see it that way, too, as the total for this game is set at 53.5.

St. Brown currently leads all receivers with six targets in the red zone, and should see plenty of action coming his way after his 11-target, nine-catch, three-touchdown performance in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears.

At +130 betting odds, a $10 profit would net you $13, with an implied probability of 43.5% that this bet cashes. I'd play this now before the line moves closer to +120 come Monday night.

🔥 Ashton Jeanty Under 71.5 rushing and receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another week, another Ashton Jeanty Under. We’ll be fading the Jeanty train until the wheels fall off as part of our rookie player prop bets for Week 3 – or until the rookie catches up to the speed of NFL action. While Jeanty has plenty of talent, the Raiders’ offensive line doesn’t. The unit ranks 32nd in run-block win rate (62%) and now must deal with the Commanders’ second-ranked unit in run-stop win rate (37%).

The books were content to leave Jeanty’s rushing yardage prop in the high-60s-to-low-70s over the first two weeks, but it looks like his Week 3 line is opening in the 50s. That’s OK. We can simply play him for Under 71.5 rushing and receiving yards. Jeanty’s awful pass blocking makes him a liability on passing downs, so he likely won’t get many chances as a dump-off receiver.

Lock this wager in for the cheap price of -115 (53.5%) at BetMGM to score an $8.70 profit on a $10 bet.

❓ NFL betting FAQs

What are the best NFL player props for Week 3?

My best NFL player props for Week 3 back Josh Allen to score a touchdown, and James Cook to rush Over 66.5 yards.

How do NFL player props work?

Player props are wagers on individual performances rather than the outcome of the game. Common props include passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, and touchdown scorers. For example, if a QB’s passing yards line is set at 250.5, you can bet the Over (251-plus yards) or Under (250 or fewer yards). You can also bet on if a specific player will score a touchdown in the entire game, the first or last touchdown, and more NFL odds.

You can determine the payouts and implied probabilities for any wager - or convert odds to different formats - with our odds converter.
