⬆️ Russell Wilson Over 217.5 passing yards (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Washington’s horrid run defense had plenty to do with why the team's pass defense looked so good on paper last year. Why pass when running on them was so easy?

Well, Washington addressing its run defense with additions like Javon Kinlaw up front could help balance out that dynamic. That's why I like Wilson to air out the moonball after the Giants find less success on the ground against an improved Washington defensive front.

Wilson threw for 217-plus yards in half of his starts with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, and the projected negative game script should help this week.

The line for Wilson’s passing yardage sits at 217.5 across our best sports betting sites, with DraftKings posting the most favorable odds on Over (-113). Those odds carry an implied probability of 53.05%. A winning $10 bet on this prop would profit $8.85.

⬆️ Malik Nabers Over 6.5 receptions (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While I’ve never seen a young player get the veteran practice plan treatment as much as Malik Nabers, his constant questionable tags hardly faze me anymore. The standout second-year wideout is expected to play through back soreness Sunday, and he should be ready to make highlights with his new quarterback.

My favorite Nabers prop for Week 1 is his receptions total rather than the wideout's yardage, as we’re getting plus-money odds on a feat Nabers accomplished in nine of 15 games as a rookie. The most favorable odds for Nabers to go Over 6.5 receptions come from BetMGM (+120).

The implied probability of this prop going Over at those odds comes out to 45.45%, while a winning $10 bet on the prop would profit $12.00.

⬆️ Austin Ekeler Over 2.5 receptions (-149) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Giants gave up 81 receptions to running backs last season, tied for the eighth-most leaguewide. I expect the Commanders to feature a heavy dose of Austin Ekeler on Sunday after they jettisoned Brian Robinson. Ekeler has been one of the NFL's most capable receiving backs for years.

Though the odds aren’t particularly juicy, scoring a -149 price from Caesars on Over 2.5 receptions for Ekeler seems like a worthwhile play after the veteran back cleared this line in five straight games to conclude last season, including three times in the playoffs.

The implied probability on this prop based on the Caesars odds comes out to 59.84%. The profit on a winning $10 bet would be 6.71.

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 markets.
