Vikings vs Rams Best Player Props to Bet for TNF in Week 8

• The Minnesota Vikings are in LA to battle the Rams to kick off Week 8 on TNF
• Marquee receivers Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp have the two highest receiving yards props
• See all the Vikings vs Rams player props including passing, rushing, receiving, and TD scores for TNF

Two NFC teams jockeying for position at the top of their respective divisions clash when the Minnesota Vikings visit the LA Rams on TNF. Minnesota is in a dead heat at 5-1 with the the Lions in the North, while the Rams can move to within a game of first in the car crash that is the NFC West. The Vikes are 3-point road favorites in the Vikings vs Rams odds, and they can put up points, ranking Top 6 in NFL scoring.

But the Rams, a bottom-ten scoring offense, will be getting star receiver Cooper Kupp back, adding intrigue as we choose our NFL player props.

Of course, all-world Justin Jefferson lines up on the other side of the ball – can Sam Darnold stay hot? Or is the shine starting to already fade on his primo start?

See the full list of Vikings vs Rams player props and odds, below, as well as my top picks.

Vikings vs Rams Player Props

LA’s workhorse back Kyren Williams has the highest rushing yards total at 73.5, while Minny’s Aaron Jones checks in at 67.5.

Jefferson leads all pass catchers with an 84.5 yard receiving line, followed by Kupp at 69.5. Both have been tabbed at 6.5 grabs.

Vikings vs Rams Player Prop #1: Darnold Passing Yards

Whether you’re a Sam Darnold believer or not, you have to credit Kevin O’Connell for putting him in positions to be successful.

Darnold has struggled against defenses that rank Top 10 in passing yards, going under his total of 246.5 set for Thursday against the Jets (2nd), Giants (4th) and Texans (6th).

However, against the Lions (27th), 49ers (16th) and Packers (15th), Darnold has thrown for 259 yards or better.

The Rams are 18th in pass yards against, and while they’ve held up of late against Gardner Minshew, Jordan Love and Caleb Williams, Minnesota offers up a bevy of weapons, and Darnold should be comfortable picking keeping them well fed.

• Vikings vs Rams Prop Pick: Darnold OVER 246.5 yards passing (-120); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

MIN vs LAR Player Prop #2: Kupp Longest Reception

The Vikings are demons at stopping the run, allowing just 80 yards per game, but their pass defense has been a Bottom-3 unit in the NFL, surrendering 260.3 yards per game.

Part of that is giving up big chunk plays, and Matthew Stafford has his Cooper Kupp back from injury to play pitch and catch with for the first time since Week 2.

Minnesota has given up a pass play of 22 yards or greater in every game this season, and three games with at least three such plays.

Bet on that trend to continue Thursday.

• Vikings vs Rams Prop Picks: Kupp Longest reception OVER 21.5 yards (-120); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

Vikings vs Rams Touchdown Scorer Props

Williams, Jones and Jefferson are the three players in the field with minus odds for an anytime touchdown. Rams WR Cooper Kupp has the next best odds of finding the endzone at +110.

Vikings vs Rams Player Prop #3: Anytime TD Scorer

Kyren Williams has scored at least one touchdown in each of his last nine regular season appearances.

Not digging the -200 odds on that?

Justin Jefferson (-115) has scored a touchdown in six of the Vikings’ last seven games, while Aaron Jones (-135) has scored a touchdown in four of his five previous appearances against the Rams.

Seeking more juice? Jordan Addison has scored at least one touchdown in three of the Vikings’ last four road games.

• Vikings vs Rams Prop Picks: Jones anytime touchdown (-135); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook

Last week: 2-4

This season: 3-12, -9.17 units
