NFL Monday Night Football Player Props: Eagles vs. Bears (Week 3)

The Chicago Bears host the Philadelphia Eagles for a Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup. The Bears will adjust to an offense without Caleb Williams, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and will now start veteran Case Keenum at QB against the Eagles.

Jalen Hurts’ late-game heroics kept the Eagles undefeated against the Titans in Week 2. He’ll be playing without TE Dallas Goedert and WR4 Marquise Brown, while facing a Bears defense that has bounced between porous and stout.

Without Williams under center, the Bears are +4.5-point underdogs at home. The point total sits at just 41.5, as the Eagles look to stay undefeated against Keenum in his first start since December 2023.

Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Bets – Week 3: Eagles vs. Bears

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

D’Andre Swift 60+ Rushing Yards (-121)

The Bears’ offense is going to quite literally run through D’Andre Swift in this game. Chicago’s RB1 exploded with 134 scrimmage yards in Week 1 against the Panthers, and now, Swift gets to face an Eagles run defense ranked in the bottom-10 of the NFL.

Philadelphia has allowed 122+ rushing yards in both games played. This includes 4.2 YPC and 3 rushing touchdowns against the Commanders and Titans.

Swift’s workload should remain heavy, especially in a favorable matchup, taking pressure off of Keenum as a passer. The Bears’ RB1 also has the revenge narrative working in his favor, formerly with the Eagles in 2023.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson has fed Swift 16+ carries in both of his starts this season. This has led to 124 rushing yards and 45 rushing yards against a stingy Vikings defense.

Expect another 15-20 carries facing the Eagles, leading to Swift cashing 60+ rushing yards at -121 odds.

DeVonta Smith 70+ Receiving Yards (-121)

Without A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith has emerged as the unequivocal WR1 in the Eagles’ passing attack. He’s coming off a strong 10-117-1 outing on 13 targets against the Titans in Week 2.

The Bears contained Carson Wentz in Week 2, but the weather may have aided their ability. In Week 1, Chicago got torched by Panthers QB Bryce Young, giving up 361 passing yards and 3 touchdowns through the air.

Hurts likes to take shots downfield off of play-action, which is where Smith can haul in a couple of receptions to wind up with 70 or more receiving yards. The Eagles WR1 has 53-117 in both starts, earning 19 targets in a shallow wide receiving corps alongside Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon.

Bet on Devonta Smith’s 70+ Receiving Yards prop at -121 odds.

Jalen Hurts 210+ Passing Yards (-128)

If we’re backing Smith to have another strong game as a receiver, it makes sense to bet on Hurts as a passer. We’ve already spotlighted the massive production that the Bears’ secondary gave up to Carolina in Week 1.

Hurts has thrown for at least 200 yards in both of the Eagles’ wins in 2026. Due to game script, we saw Hurts attempt 37 passes in Tennessee last Sunday, winding up with 264 passing yards.

The Bears are playing with a tandem of rookie defensive backs in this matchup. While they haven’t been efficient at stopping the run, Hurts’ big-arm talent and explosive play-making ability, combined with a cool, dry forecast without much wind, should be enough to cash 210+ passing yards for a second consecutive appearance.
