Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles

    In this rematch of last year's Divisional Playoffs, let's target three player props as the Eagles host the Rams. You may remember Saquon Barkley running wild for 205 yards with a pair of long TD runs in the snow against Los Angeles. Well, let's allow Saquon to kick off this SGP. 

    Barkley has been held relatively in check, to his standards, so far this season. The Philly tailback has 60 and 88 rushing yards in the first two games, while averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He's still getting the volume, with 18 and 22 carries, but there haven't been many long runs yet. That could change this week. 

    The Eagles' passing attack has been slow to get going this season. Now they face a Rams pass defense that's been strong early on. It sets up for Barkley to play a key role. LA allowed Tony Pollard to run for 92 yards last week. Even Nick Chubb had 60 yards on just 13 carries in Week 1. Stopping the run is the Rams' weakness right now, and Barkley can smash in this matchup.

    As for the LA offense, Puka Nacua is already producing at a high level. He has 130 and 91 receiving yards in the first two games while seeing a heavy volume of targets from Matthew Stafford. He even had a good game last week despite Davante Adams going for 106 yards. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ second cornerback spot is a concern. It's tough to predict whether stud corner Quinyon Mitchell will cover Adams or Nacua most of the time. It'll likely be the former who gets into better mismatches, though. 

    The Rams have done a good job of holding teams to field goals in the first two games. Tennessee's Joey Slye made four field goals last week, and Houston's Ka'imi Fairbairn hit three in Week 1. We could see the Eagles settle for points in this game, especially early on. Jake Elliott had 2+ made field goals in 14 of 20 games last year, and he's already done it once this season. 

    Parlay Odds: +325

    Green Bay Packers at Cleveland Browns

      Cleveland may be 0-2 with another lost season incoming, but there are some bright spots. One is the rush defense, which has been good this year. The Browns held the vaunted Ravens run game to just 45 yards on 2.1 yards per carry last week, with Derrick Henry only having 23 yards. In Week 1, they held the Bengals to 46 yards on 2.0 YPC. 

      That brings us to Josh Jacobs, who could have a tough time on the ground this week. The Packers' RB has not been efficient this season, averaging 3.6 yards per carry. He's had 66 and 84 yards in the first two games, but getting those yards has largely been due to volume. Green Bay should win this game, and Jacobs could get plenty of second-half work. Still, the numbers point to the under on his rushing yards. 

      With that in mind, Jordan Love should be more active as a passer if Jacobs and the run game get bottled up. Love threw for 292 yards last week, and he had a 73% completion rate in Week 1 against Detroit. He now faces a Cleveland secondary that struggled against the Ravens last week. Love threw for 220+ yards in nine of his first 12 games last year before slowing down late in the season. 

      Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is getting all the buzz early in the season, but David Njoku is still a factor. Don't forget about the vet, who's logged over 80% of snaps in both of the first two games. He's also seeing a decent target share from Joe Flacco. 

      Njoku had 40 yards last week and 37 in Week 1. Those yardage totals should rise, even with Fannin Jr. producing. Two years ago, Njoku had 90+ yards in four of Flacco's six starts with Cleveland (including playoffs). The Packers have been a bit soft vs. tight ends so far, allowing 79 yards to Sam LaPorta in Week 1 and then 64 yards to Zach Ertz last week. Last year, Green Bay allowed the eighth-most receiving yards to tight ends. 

      Parlay Odds: +450

      Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans

      We said this last week, and it backfired. The Colts’ offense is bound to regress. In Week 1, they scored on all seven offensive possessions and put up 33 points. In Week 2, Indianapolis scored on seven of nine drives and put up 29 points. Let's go back to the well and count on some negative regression from this offense. 

      Unless Daniel Jones is somehow Peyton Manning reincarnated, the Colts won't be this good every week. Indy now plays both on the road and outdoors for the first time this season. Yes, the Titans' defense isn't exactly scary. But this should be a lower-scoring game with the Colts taking a slight step back offensively. 

      Plus, Tennessee will try to lean on the ground game here. That should limit the possessions for the Colts. On that note, Tony Pollard can play a key role for the Titans as they try to shorten the game via the run. They've been giving Pollard a big workload to keep pressure off of rookie QB Cam Ward as well. 

      Pollard has seen 20 and 18 carries in the first two games, for 92 and 60 yards. The Titans are feeding him early in the year to let Ward ease into his first pro season. The Colts' run defense, meanwhile, has been shaky. They allowed 6.5 yards per carry to Miami in Week 1, and then 4.9 YPC to Denver last game. Pollard can rack up yards in this matchup. He averaged 85 rush yards per game when getting double-digit carries last year. 

      Though we're fading the Colts' scoring output overall, rookie tight end Tyler Warren can still have a good game. He's been Jones' favorite option in the passing game so far. Warren's 11 receptions, 16 targets, and 155 yards all lead the team through two weeks. That shouldn't change moving forward. 

      Parlay Odds: +385

      Cincinnati Bengals at Minnesota Vikings

        The Bengals and Vikings will both start backup quarterbacks in this matchup, with Joe Burrow and J.J. McCarthy sidelined. It'll be Jake Browning for Cincinnati and Carson Wentz for Minnesota. Understandably, the total has dropped this week. However, it might be too low now. 

        Browning and Wentz both bring in former starting experience and aren't your typical backups. Browning started seven games in Burrow's absence in 2023 and had good performances. He also just came in relief last week, throwing for 241 yards and leading the game-winning TD drive. Wentz has bounced around to different teams over recent years, but he still has 94 career starts under his belt. 

        There's upside in hoping the pair of QBs can collectively lead successful drives as the over hits. Plus, the Bengals and Vikings defenses have both shown some cracks this season. 

        Back to Browning, the Bengals seem comfortable in letting him throw it around. He chucked it 32 times last week in relief. In 2023, he averaged 32.6 attempts per start. Since Burrow will be out for a while, Cincinnati needs to get Browning comfortable in the passing game and build a rapport with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. It starts this week. 

        On the Vikings' side of things, the offense could lean on the run more this week with Wentz at quarterback. Jordan Mason is now the clear lead back with Aaron Jones landing on IR. When Mason saw 15 carries in Week 1, he ran for 68 yards. Expect more volume with Jones out of the picture and McCarthy injured. The Bengals just gave up 139 rushing yards and 5.1 yards per carry to Jacksonville last week. 

        Parlay Odds: +335

        Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots

        (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

          Rookie Kaleb Johnson may have received all the preseason hype, but Jaylen Warren is the guy in the Steelers' backfield right now. He just racked up 134 total yards on 18 touches last week, including a team-high 86 receiving yards. Warren should be a big part of the offensive game plan moving forward, especially with his pass-catching chops.

          The Patriots gave up 122 total yards to Miami RB De'Von Achane last week, including 92 receiving yards on eight catches. Warren can take advantage of this matchup while getting the majority of touches in the Pittsburgh backfield right now. 

          As for the Patriots' offense, that backfield appears to be a "hot hand" situation. Rhamondre Stevenson likely just earned more work after going for 142 total yards on 16 touches last week. Compare that to just 40 yards on five touches for Tre'Veyon Henderson. We've also seen Stevenson log 65% of the snaps in back-to-back weeks. He'll face a Steelers defense that allowed 107 yards to Breece Hall in Week 1 and then 105 to Kenneth Walker in Week 2. 

          Let's wrap up the SGP with a DK Metcalf prop. After going for 83 yards in Week 1, he was quiet last game with just 20 yards. Yet, he still led the team in targets and found the end zone. That's encouraging for his future rapport with Aaron Rodgers as the two build a connection. 

          The Patriots' defense has given up a league-high 13 passing plays of 20+ yards this season. They're also allowing 12.6 yards per completion, the third most in the NFL. Metcalf can break off a long gain in this matchup. He had a 31-yard catch in Week 1 and had a reception of at least 22 yards in 12 of 15 games last year. 

          Parlay Odds: +587

          New York Jets at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

            After suffering a concussion last week, Justin Field is out for the Jets as they take on the Buccaneers. It moves Tyrod Taylor into the starting spot. Let's focus our SGP on the New York offense with Taylor under center in an interesting matchup against Tampa Bay. 

            Taylor has always been a threat to run. He was a much better dual-threat back in the day, but he's still shown the ability when thrust into starting roles over recent seasons. When Taylor started five games in 2023, he averaged 32 rushing yards per game with at least 24 in each. In 2021, he averaged 25.2 YPG in six starts. The veteran can still scramble and make plays, even running for 21 yards in relief of Fields last week. 

            On the flip side, expect Breece Hall's rushing to be capped in a tough spot. Tampa Bay has been stout against the run thus far. The Falcons' vaunted rushing attack averaged just 2.5 yards per carry in Week 1 vs. the Bucs, with Bijan Robinson limited to 24 yards. In Week 2, Nick Chubb ran for only 43 yards on 3.6 yards per carry. Plus, the Jets' offense could be more pass-heavy than normal this week with Taylor at QB. 

            That brings us to another Hall prop. The Jets' running back should have a role in the passing game as a safety valve for easy dump-offs. New York will also presumably be playing from behind in this road matchup. Hall had 3+ catches in 10 of 16 games last year. He's yet to do it this season, but that should change this weekend. 

            Parlay Odds: +475

            Las Vegas Raiders at Washington Commanders

            (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

              Jayden Daniels has officially been ruled out for the Commanders this week. It was murky whether or not the second-year quarterback would play after suffering a sprained knee last Thursday night. His absence now puts Marcus Mariota into the starting QB spot. 

              The Daniels injury obviously downgrades the Washington offense. Mariota is a fine veteran backup, but he isn't the same dual-threat talent that gave the Commanders' attack tons of upside. Let's take the under on their team total. Even with Daniels active, by the way, the Commanders scored 21 and 18 points in the first two games. Meanwhile, Las Vegas is allowing just 16.5 PPG thus far. 

              One thing Mariota can do, though, is run it. He's used his legs throughout his career. In two games of relief last year, Mariota ran for 56 and 34 yards. In 2023, he ran for 46 yards in relief for the Eagles. When he started 13 times in 2022, he averaged 33.7 rushing yards per game for the Falcons. Look for Mariota to get 30+ yards in this start on scrambles or designed runs.

              On the Raiders' side of things, Jakobi Meyers has emerged as a favorite receiver for Geno Smith through two games. He had eight catches for 97 yards on 12 targets last week, after posting six receptions and 68 yards on 12 targets in Week 1. The Vegas receiving corps is basically Meyers and Brock Bowers right now. This connection should continue on the road. 

              Parlay Odds: +564

              Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers

                In this NFC South matchup, let's target a trio of player props. Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been among Michael Penix's favorite targets early in the season. Through two games, his 11 receptions are tied for the team lead, while his 13 targets only trail Drake London. It's essentially those two as the top options for Penix right now. 

                The Panthers have struggled a bit against opposing tight ends. They allowed 59 yards to Jacksonville's Brenton Strange in Week 1, and then 78 yards to Arizona's Trey McBride in Week 2. Meanwhile, Pitts had 70 yards in one of his matchups vs. Carolina last year. Getting to 40+ seems like a low bar this week for the Atlanta tight end. 

                In the Carolina offense, take the under Con huba Hubbard's rushing yards prop. The Falcons' run defense has looked good this year. The unit held Bucky Irving to 37 yards on 14 carries in Week 1, and then limited Jordan Mason to 30 yards on nine attempts last week. Meanwhile, Hubbard has been inefficient so far, averaging 3.7 yards per carry and 47.5 rush yards per game. 

                If Hubbard and the ground game aren't producing, it'll force Bryce Young to throw it more often. That's especially true if Carolina gets down early against the Falcons. This has already been a theme this season, with Young throwing it 55 and 35 times in the first two games. He also leads the league in pass attempts thus far. 

                Parlay Odds: +460

                Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars

                  After starting out 0-2, the Texans should be in desperation mode this week. It's a huge matchup in Jacksonville with divisional bragging rights on the line. Houston may be on the road, but it probably should be favored in this spot. 

                  The Jaguars haven't impressed much through two games. They lost to the Bengals last week, even after Joe Burrow went out. They didn't even cover the spread, either. The Jags beat Carolina by 16 points in Week 1, but that's not saying much against the NFC's worst team. Meanwhile, Houston had to play two playoff squads from last year and lost to the Rams and Bucs by a combined six points. 

                  Nico Collins has been quiet with just 77 receiving yards through the first two games. Yet, the Texans' top wideout is bound to wake up soon. This could be the matchup. Collins torched the Jags for 151 and 119 yards in two games last year. It's only a matter of time until he goes off, especially since C.J. Stroud has targeted him 14 times already. 

                  On the Jaguars' side of things, Dyami Brown may be emerging as a regular contributor in the passing game. The wideout has a team-high 109 receiving yards so far with the second-most receptions (8). Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter still exist in this pass attack, but Trevor Lawrence looks to be building a rapport with Brown as his No. 2 wide receiver. 

                  Parlay Odds: +475

                  Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers

                    Let's roll out three player props for this AFC West showdown between Denver and Los Angeles. This should be an entertaining matchup in the late-afternoon window. So, let's find some value props and cash this SGP. 

                    Rookie Troy Franklin is already a favorite target for Bo Nix in the Denver passing game. His 12 receptions, 15 targets, and 133 receiving yards all lead the team through two games. It's early, but the Franklin-Nix connection should be here to stay - especially since it's carried over from their days at Oregon. Franklin has 89 and 44 yards in the first two weeks, so 40+ seems very doable here. 

                    Staying with the receivers, Keenan Allen has stepped right back into the Chargers' offense and re-established himself as a core target for Justin Herbert. Through two games, Allen's 12 catches and 17 targets both lead the team so far. He also had 60+ receiving yards in both weeks. Allen now has 50+ receiving yards in 11 straight games with the Chargers, going back to the 2023 season. 

                    Revenge game, anyone? Broncos tailback J.K. Dobbins is in that position this week while facing his old squad from last year. There could be some added motivation, but Dobbins should see enough carries based on the matchup, too. The Chargers' pass defense has looked strong this season, which could result in Denver rolling with a run-heavy attack. Dobbins has seen 16 and 14 carries in the first two games as the lead guy over RJ Harvey right now. 

                    Parlay Odds: +400

                    New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks

                      In this NFC South matchup, three player props stand out. If you read this article in Weeks 1 or 2, then you know we're going right back to Juwan Johnson. The Saints' tight end cashed his receiving yards prop in both games and should do it again this week. 

                      Johnson's 125 receiving yards over two games lead the team so far. Plus, his 13 receptions are tied with Chris Olave for the team lead. QB Spencer Rattler clearly likes throwing to Johnson. In Rattler's eight starts with the Saints over the past two years, Johnson has at least 48 yards in six of those games. He now faces a Seahawks defense that allowed eight receptions and 64 yards to Steelers' tight ends last week. 

                      Alvin Kamara should also catch enough to get 25+ receiving yards. The Seahawks have had issues covering running backs in the passing game this year. Steelers RBs had 102 yards last week, including 86 by Jaylen Warren. 49ers RBs had 109 yards in Week 1, including 73 by Christian McCaffrey. Kamara only has 32 receiving yards through two games, but that's bound to pick up. 

                      On the Seattle side, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a main attraction this season. The wideout has 124 and 103 yards in the first two games. Look for him to keep it going as a favorite option for Sam Darnold in the passing attack. The Saints have struggled a bit vs. No. 1 wideouts so far. Jauan Jennings had 89 yards last week, and Marvin Harrison Jr. had 71 yards in Week 1. 

                      Parlay Odds: +420

                      Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears 

                        Chicago's offense has underwhelmed thus far in Ben Johnson's first season in town. However, this week presents a prime time to wake up and get Caleb Williams going. Let's take the over on the Bears' team total at home against a shaky Dallas defense, and in a game that should be a back-and-forth shootout. 

                        The Cowboys just allowed 37 points and 506 total yards of offense to the Giants last week. They also gave up 21 first-half points to Philadelphia in Week 1, before a weather delay halted both offenses. It's a small sample size, but this Dallas defense may just be bad with question marks all over - especially after losing Micah Parsons. 

                        Despite their 0-2 start, the Bears have put up 24 and 21 points in the first two games. That's with inefficient play from Williams and a passing attack that's yet to get going. At home against a scuffling Dallas defense presents a favorable spot here. 

                        As for Williams, look for him to use his legs. He's run for 58 and 27 yards in the first two games. He now has 25+ rush yards in 12 of his 19 career pro games. Williams' running ability is a real weapon, and the Cowboys may struggle to contain him. Dallas allowed the most rushing yards to quarterbacks last season, and it looks like that may continue this year. Jalen Hurts racked up 62 yards in Week 1 vs. Dallas, and even the veteran Russell Wilson scrambled for 23 yards last game. 

                        For the Cowboys, running back Javonte Williams gets a favorable matchup. The Bears’ rush defense has struggled, allowing 4.6 yards per carry to the Vikings in Week 1 and then 5.9 YPC to Detroit last week. The unit gave up 94 yards to Jahmyr Gibbs a week ago and 68 yards to Jordan Mason the game prior. Add Javonte Williams to the list. 

                        Williams is seeing the large majority of carries in the Dallas backfield right now. He had 18 carries for 97 yards last week, after posting 54 yards on 15 carries in Week 1. Getting to 60+ yards is doable for a guy who's the clear lead ball-carrier against an iffy run defense. 

                        Parlay Odds: +340

                        Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers 

                        (Odds courtesy of BetMGM)

                          Earlier this week, it seemed like Brock Purdy would return for San Francisco after sitting out Week 2. Well, Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Friday that Purdy is "highly unlikely" to start. It looks like we'll get Mac Jones at quarterback for the 49ers as they host the Cardinals. 

                          Even with Purdy out, we're taking the Niners to get the win. The San Fran offense looked fine last week, putting up 344 total yards. Jones threw for 279 yards and three TDs with no interceptions. Yes, it came against the Saints. But Jones and the 49ers can do it again at home this week. 

                          The Cardinals' 2-0 start is nice, but it also deserves some important context. Both victories were one-score results over two bottom-tier teams in the Saints and Panthers. The Arizona defense just allowed 352 total yards and 26 first downs to Carolina last week. Shanahan, even with Jones at QB, can exploit the shaky defense. 

                          If last week was any indication, the 49ers are perfectly fine with Jones throwing it around. He had 39 pass attempts with a 113.1 quarterback rating last week. We could see another higher-volume game from Jones passing-wise here. The Cardinals’ defense has been beatable through the air. They allowed 328 yards on 55 attempts to Bryce Young last week. Even Spencer Rattler chucked it 46 times in this matchup in Week 1. 

                          As for the Arizona offense, Kyler Murray's rushing yards prop continues to be a go-to play. He's run for 32 and 38 yards in the first two games this season. He's been an active and willing runner, which shouldn't change in a divisional matchup this week. Last year, Murray had 25+ rushing yards in nine of 17 games while averaging 33.6 rush yards per game.
