Top 10 NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 3: Daniel Jones, Cam Ward, and More

There were a few surprising results in Week Two. Did anyone see the Browns effectively shutting down Derrick Henry? Or Lamar Jackson only gaining 13 on the ground? Well, Week 3 kicks off Thursday, so let’s not waste time breaking down the Sunday feast. Here are our 10 best NFL Player Props for Week 3.

With bye weeks not starting up yet, we’ll have 14 games on Sunday and the Monday Night game to choose from (odds via FanDuel).

Daniel Jones, OVER 210.5 Passing Yards at -113 (DraftKings), Anytime Touchdown Scorer at +210 (FanDuel)

When someone is playing unexpectedly well, it is natural to assume that a drop-off is coming. That could be true for Danny Dimes, but not this week. Jones has passed for 272 and 316 yards so far this season. Matthew Stafford threw for 290 yards, and Bo Nix threw for 176 yards against the Tennessee defense.

The reprogramming of Jones under Colts coach Shane Steichen has been remarkable. He has scored three rushing touchdowns this season and is moving with confidence. He was at his best in New York in 2022 when he ran the ball 120 times for 708 yards and seven touchdowns.

It would not be shocking to see him get another against a poor Tennessee defense.

Cam Ward, UNDER 202.5 Passing Yards at -115 (BetMGM)

The Colts defense has looked fantastic in the first two weeks of the season under new DC Lou Anarumo, holding teams to 169.5 yards through the air. Ward threw for 112 yards vs. Denver and 175 against the Rams. He’s played like a rookie still trying to find his way; he will not find it this week.

Chase Brown, OVER 67.5 Rushing Yards at -110 (BetMGM)

Brown has gotten off to a slow start with 43 and 47 yards. But against a Vikings defense that has struggled against the run, they will look to get him more involved on the ground to help take pressure off Jake Browning as he starts in place of Joe Burrow. He should break through this week.

Omarion Hampton, OVER 38.5 Rushing Yards at -114 (FanDuel)

Hampton went for 48 in his debut against the Chiefs off 15 carries, but slipped down to 24 yards last week off just eight carries. Denver’s defense ranks No. 20 against the run through two weeks, but the only problem may be touches if the team splits time between Hampton and Najee Harris.

If he has trouble getting carries early on, I can see him making up for it late in the game as the Chargers try to run out the clock (yes, I am saying the Chargers will win this one).

Kyren Williams, UNDER 64.5 Rushing Yards at -118 (BetMGM), OVER 79.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards at -115 (BetMGM)

Williams rushed for 66 yards in both games this season. While this does put him OVER this rushing total, the Eagles have one of the best defenses in the league. They gave up around 120 yards a game in Weeks 1 and 2, but the only player to go OVER 64.5 rushing yards was Patrick Mahomes.

He has a better chance of going OVER his rushing and receiving yards total (79.5). Williams has not been heavily involved in the passing game yet, but he caught 34 and 32 passes the last two seasons. A couple of well-timed screen plays could boost his total and slow down that Eagles pass rush.

Ashton Jeanty, UNDER 55.5 Rushing Yards at -115

The Raiders may try to run more to take pressure off Geno Smith after last week’s puzzling interceptions. If that ends up being the case, the OVER will likely cash. But I can see Pete Carroll telling his quarterback to get back up rather than protect him with a hyper-conservative approach.

Jeanty was overrated coming out of college after a career running wild over Group of Five teams.

Bijan Robinson, OVER 108.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards at -114

The Falcons are at their best when they get Robinson involved in the game, especially on the ground. That was certainly evident against the Vikings last week. But after being heavily involved in the passing game one week and the run the next, expect more of a happy medium this week—and more OVER 108.5 combined yards.

Travis Etienne Jr., UNDER 57.5 Rushing Yards at -114

This may be asking a lot of the Houston defense, considering he’s No. 2 in the NFL in rushing behind Derrick Henry.

Etienne has played like a man on a mission this season. He had 143 yards on the ground in Week 1 and 71 in Week 2. In six games vs. Houston, the OVER is 3-3 for this Etienne total, but 0-3 for the last three.

Houston has two close losses, but the defense is playing well. The Texans haven’t lost to Jacksonville for years; if that trend is going to stick, the defense will need to play as well as everyone thinks they can and shut Etienne down.
