🔥 Trey Benson Anytime TD (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trey Benson has played in 16 games in his brief NFL career and he has just one rushing TD to his name. That number is about to change, as Benson is now the primary RB in Arizona, after James Conner went down with a season-ending foot injury.

Benson was actually something of a rushing touchdown machine during his final year in college at Florida State. He had four multi-TD games in 2023, including two contests in which he found the end zone three times.

Benson and the Cardinals will face the Seattle Seahawks in Arizona Thursday night. Get Benson at plus money for an anytime TD while you still can.

A $10 bet on Benson at +110 would net you an $11.00 profit if the bet is successful.

⬇️ Tre Tucker Under 36.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m not yet sold on Tucker as a reliable fantasy option or Over bet. His 145-yard receiving day against the Washington Commanders this past Sunday was likely fool's gold. 

It was the first 100-plus yard receiving day of his three-year NFL career. The week prior against the LA Chargers, he posted a grand total of 12 yards receiving. 

Also, a good portion of those 145 yards came on a long catch of 61 yards. You cannot count on a big play like that every week.

If you bet $10 on Tucker to go Under this number and he wound up having 36 receiving yards or less, you would win $8.70.

⬇️ Tyquan Thornton Under 32.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s early, but it seems like some chemistry is budding between Thornton and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The former New England Patriots second round draft pick is averaging six targets and 57 receiving yards per game, through three games.

He will face a Baltimore Ravens defense that has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game (266.3), through three games. 

Baltimore's defense will be seething, however, after losing a winnable game to the Detroit Lions on Monday night. It should be noted that the brunt of the receiving yardage that opposing teams have racked up against Baltimore came from the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 and the Lions on Monday. Those two offenses are among the NFL's elite, while Kansas City’s offense has averaged just 207.7 passing yards per game through three games.

Baltimore has allowed only one WR to pop for over 100 yards so far this season, as well. That was Buffalo’s Keon Coleman in Week 1.

Add in the idea that Kansas City will likely start to mix in rookie WR Jalen Royals this week, and you have a recipe for a relatively quiet Thornton game. I like the Under here.

If you bet $10 at this price and the bet was victorious, you would net $8.70.

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.
