At RT Sports, there is an amazing fantasy pick’em game where you can choose different props for a chance to win money! Pick at least two props, select “more” or “less” on each prop, submit the picks, and you’re good to go! Below are my favorite props/picks for Sunday’s NFL slate. You can choose just two props or choose them all and make it into one big parlay!
Derrick Henry MORE than 72.5 Rushing Yards
Henry only averaged 3.5 yards per carry last week and managed just 46 yards on the ground. That could explain why this number is so low this week, but either way, we will use it as a buying opportunity. The Ravens were playing from behind last week, which took Henry out of the game, and they also went up against a top-level Chiefs defense. This week, the Ravens will be playing from ahead, and they will be taking on a Raiders team that allowed 176 rushing yards last week to the Chargers. Add to the fact that the Ravens are at home, and don’t be surprised if Henry goes over 100 yards and scores two TDs.
Malik Nabers MORE than 5 Receptions
Nabers caught exactly five passes in his NFL debut last week. He saw seven targets compared to Wan’Dale Robinson, who saw 12. That is going to change this week, though. Nabers is the Giants’ top playmaker, and after a dreadful game in week one from QB Daniel Jones, he needs a bounce-back performance. The best way for Jones to do that is to target Nabers 10 or more times against a Commanders defense that allowed four passing TDs in week one and 280 passing yards.
Anthony Richardson MORE than 39.5 Rushing Yards
Richardson averaged 9.3 yards per carry in week one, rushing for 56 yards total. The Packers allowed 33 yards on the ground in week one to Jalen Hurts, but the Eagles were playing from ahead for most of that game. This week, even without Jordan Love, the Colts/Packers game should be close, and Richardson loves to rely on his legs to make big plays. Expect him to rush at least 8 times and average five or more yards per carry, which will take him over 40 for the game.
Amari Cooper MORE than 4 Receptions
Cooper had a tough week one, going up against a tough corner in Diggs and a Cowboys pass rush that wreaked havoc on QB Deshaun Watson. The good news here is that Cooper saw 9 targets in the passing game, and with David Njoku injured, he could see even more this week against the Jags. Cooper is a great route runner who will get open often, so expect Watson to target him often again this weekend, but with more accuracy and precision. The Jags allowed the most passing yards in the league last week, so expect a bounceback from Coop.
Greg Dortch MORE than 3 Receptions
This seems like a free bet. The Cardinals’ defense is so bad, and they will be playing catch-up at some point in the second half of this game. That means Kyler Murray will air it out, and Dortch will be one of his main targets. Murray targeted Dortch 8 times in week one, and Dortch caught 6 of those passes. That’s pretty impressive, especially because it came against a Bills defense that looked excellent on Thursday night. The Rams’ defense is not nearly as good, so Dortch should again see around 8 targets and come away with at least 5 receptions.
