NFL Week 6 Thursday Night Football: Seahawks vs. Broncos Player Prop Best Bets and Betting Odds
All betting odds provided by Betway
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks - 90+ Receiving Yards (-125)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba won the receiving crown, the Super Bowl, and the Offensive Player of the Year award last year. You could have been excused for expecting he might take a slight step back in 2026. Nope. His 583 receiving yards through five games lead the NFL, and his 116.6 yards per game are over 10 yards more than the 105 ypg that won him OPOY last year.
He had a bit of an injury scare recently with his ankle, which was a worry for us going into this week. But all reports and signs point to JSN having made a quick recovery or shaken off the ailment: he was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
JSN has gone for 100+ yards in four of five games this season, and the Broncos secondary isn’t quite what it has been over the last couple of years. Davante Adams tortured them for over 130 yards, Parker Washington had nearly 100 against them, and old man Mike Evans had a cool 70.
Emanuel Wilson, RB, Seattle Seahawks - Anytime TD Scorer (+115)
The Broncos have been known for their defence since their Super Bowl run in 2015. But that identity might be fading here. In 2026, the Broncos are giving up the 11th-most yards in the league, and they’ve had some trouble stopping opposing running backs.
In four of five games this season (the exception being a Week 3 win against the Rams in which Kyren Williams didn’t score but had 88 yards on 18 carries) the Broncos have allowed a running back to score. Kenneth Walker did it twice in Week 1 and Bhayshul Tuten, Christian McCaffrey, and Kimani Vidal all reached the end zone against Denver in Week 2, 4, and 5, respectively. Denver is also allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game to RBs.
Emanuel Wilson has been given the starting RB job by Seattle. He tried to fumble it away last week, but then his only competition for the job, George Holani, had an even more costly fumble. Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price are both still out, so any goal line carries are going Wilson’s way. He hasn’t been insignificant in the pass game either.
Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos - Over 15.5 Rush Yards (-140)
Bo Nix is mobile. Bo Nix can move. Bo Nix just hasn’t been moving this season. Yet. But he will. He always does eventually. And we think Week 6 under the lights at home against a frightening Seahawks front will bring out the scrambler in him.
He has not run for more than 10 yards in his first five games this season. But he has run it 18 times, which is nearly four carries per game. He ran it nearly five times for over 20 yards per game last year. He wants to run. And the Seahawks might just let him.
Seattle is fourth in the NFL with a 32.2 pressure rate, so Nix is going to be forced to tuck it at least a few times. We think he’ll find success: Seattle is giving up 22.2 rush yards to QBs this year, 8th-most in the NFL. Drake Maye and Justin Herbert both hit this defence for 40+ rushing yards and we think Nix will have a performance in that mold.
