• See all the passing, rushing, and receiving lines, as well as touchdown odds below, plus our best prop picks

Week 2 of the NFL season is underway with a 13-game card to choose from on Sunday for our Week 2 NFL player props.

It was a mixed bag in our NFL player props last week, as we went 3-4, dropping 0.99 units. Derek Carr got us a couple passing touchdowns, but we put too much stock in the likes of Adam Thielen, Aaron Jones and others. Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor and Travis Kelce did what they do, score TDs.

We’ve crunched the numbers and come up with a few players who could be in for good, or in some cases bad days this Sunday in Week 2.

Read on for our Week 2 NFL player props, as well as all the lines for each set of NFL player props.

Best Passing Props to Bet for Week 2

1) Davis Mills Under 226.5 passing yards  (-115); risk 0.50 units at DraftKings Sportsbook

2) Davis Mills Over 0.5 interceptions (-125); risk 0.50 units at DraftKings Sportsbook

Davis Mills was 23/27 in the passing game for the Houston Texans last week in a 20-20 tie with Indy. That ranked around mid-pack for Week 1 quarterbacks. Not great, but not terrible either. But now he’ll be facing an angry Broncos’ defense that only allowed 177 yards through the air, the sixth-fewest in Week 1, and still lost 17-16 in Seattle. Mills will now go on the road to Mile High to face a Broncos’ defense that only gave up an average of 214.8 yards per game in the air last season. On the road in 2021, Mills also didn’t fare too well, only throwing for over 200 yards twice.

We’ll split one unit on Davis Mills player props on Sunday and put another half unit on Mills to throw a pick. He threw zero picks in Week 1, but did throw ten last season. Of those ten, nine came on the road. He actually threw an interception in five of six road games last season.

Davis Mills has two games with 300+ Pass Yards, 3+ passing TDs and 0 INT since the start of last season

2) Derek Carr Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (-190); risk 1 unit at Barstool Sportsbook

Ok, the quarterback is arguably one of the most exciting positions in sports. We can’t just bet Unders and bet against human achievement.

The Cardinals vs Raiders total of 51.5 is the highest total on the board on Sunday. Whether it goes Over or Under is not our concern. But if it gets anywhere close to that, the home team favored Raiders should be finding the endzone a few or at least a couple of times. Patrick Mahomes just threw for 5 TDs and the Chiefs scored 44 points against this Arizona team last week.

We bet Carr to throw over 1.5 passing TDs last week and he came through, going 22/37 for 295 yards. He also threw three picks. That’s unlikely to happen again as the Cards’ defense is not as good as the Chargers’. It’s now been seven straight games dating back into last season where the Cards have allowed an opposing QB to throw for multiple passing touchdowns.

NFL Rushing Props

At 99.5 rushing yards, Jonathan Taylor has the highest rushing total of any running back for Week 2 in the odds above.

Best Rushing Props to Bet for Week 2

1)  Javonte Williams Over 83.5 rushing and receiving yards (-115); risk 1 unit DraftKings Sportsbook

Javonte Williams didn’t find the endzone in Week 1, but he did quickly establish a rapport with new QB Russell Wilson. He was the most targeted player on the Broncos’ passing game and actually the most targeted running back in the passing game overall league-wide with 12 targets. He caught 11 of those targets for 65 yards. No other Broncos’ receiver had more than five catches.

On the ground, he was still second-fiddle to Melvin Gordon, rushing seven times, to Gordon’s 12, but did put up 43 yards on the ground. That’s a combined 108 yards.

NFL Receiving Props

Davante Adams bettors will need a nearly 100-yard performance for the Raiders’ WR if they want to be the Over, with this total set at 94.5 receiving yards.

Best Receiving Props to Bet for Week 2

1) Michael Pittman Over 64.5 receiving yards (-140); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook

Michael Pittman was targeted the fourth-most of any receiver in Week 1, a total of 13 times by new Colts’ QB Matt Ryan. Pittman pulled down nine catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. That was 71 more yards than the next closest Colts’ WR. Indianapolis will be disappointed to have only left Houston with a 20-20 tie, but their passing offense put up a whopping 340 yards, the second-highest in Week 1 behind Kansas City.

Meanwhile, the Jags gave up the fourth-most passing yards in Week 1 at 305 yards in a 28-22 loss to the Commanders and Carson Wentz. There’s no reason Ryan can’t have similar success versus the Jags which should see Pittman have another big day for the Colts. Last season Pittman’s average was 63.3 yards per game over 17 games in his 1,082-yard season. That falls almost literally right on this total for Week 2. In 2021 Pittman would’ve gone over this total eight times. While he also landed right on 64 yards twice.

Now Pittman did show up on the injury report with a quad injury, so you’ll have to monitor the Colts injury report for this one.

1) Amon-Ra St Brown Over 60+ receiving yards (-152); risk 1 unit at FanDuel Sportsbook. Claim this FanDuel Sportsbook promo code to bet on your NFL player props for Week 2

Amon-Ra St Brown was the Lions’ top receiver in Week 1, catching eight passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in Detroit’s 38-35 loss to Philadelphia.

St Brown has been a tear going back to the end of last season though. He’s now caught a touchdown pass in five-straight games after he ended last season with a TD in four straight.

In each of his final six games last season he was targeted ten or more times. He made eight or more catches in each of those games and his receiving yardage totals were 109, 111, 91, 90, 73 and 86.

FanDuel has set his receiving yardage total at 64.5 yards (-114) but you can also choose an alt total of simply 60+ at -152 that I’ll roll with for my NFL Week 2 NFL player props.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has a Rec TD in 5 consecutive games

Touchdown Props

Jonathan Taylor, Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams are among the biggest favorites to find the endzone this weekend.

Here’s who I like to find the endzone and why for my Week 2 NFL player props:

1. Davante Adams anytime touchdown (-167), risk 1 unit at Barstool Sportsbook: It may have come in a losing effort, but Adams racked up ten catches for 141 yards and a TD in Week 1. He was targeted the most of any receiver with 17 passes from Derek Carr. Now I’m not putting Carr in the same category as Patrick Mahomes, but Mahomes was near-perfect at 30/36 against the Cards in Week 1 and threw for five TDs. Adams should have every opportunity to find the endzone again in Week 2 for our NFL player props.
2. Ja’Marr Chase anytime touchdown (+115), risk 0.75 units at DraftKings Sportsbook: Next up in the most targeted players from Week 1 was Bengals’ WR Ja’Marr Chase with 16 looks. He had ten catches, 129 yards and one touchdown, and should have had a second if Cincinnati had challenged a previous catch on the goal line. The Steelers’ offense did little with Mitch Trubisky and gave the Bengals over 40 minutes of possession. The Bengals should again have plenty of possession and opportunities to score as they face a backup QB in Cooper Rush and a Dallas offense that scored three points last week—with Dak Prescott.
3. Jonathan Taylor anytime touchdown (-180), risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook: At this point, you’re rarely going to get great odds for Taylor to find the endzone. His odds last week were only -230, but it did cash as he rushed for 161 yards on 31 carries and caught four passes out of the backfield as well. Those 31 attempts were a Week 1 best in the NFL, while the 161 yards were only behind Saquon Barkley’s 164. Last season Taylor had a combined 20 TDs and found paydirt in 12/17 games. If Pittman is in fact unable to go, it would mean even more action for Taylor.
4. Tyreek Hill anytime touchdown (+160), risk 0.50 units: The Dolphins may be underdogs heading into Week 2 versus the Ravens, but I think they have upset potential after an impressive Week 1 win over the Pats. The Ravens won in Week 1 but were outgained 378 to 274 in total yards by the Jets. New York won the 1st down battle too, 24-13. Hill didn’t find the endzone in Week 1, but he did combine for 100 receiving and rushing yards. Last season he found the endzone nine times and I think he’ll have every chance to grab his first TD with the Fins on Sunday.
