NFL Week 7 Player Prop Best Bets & Odds
All odds provided by Sports Interaction.
Travis Hunter, WR, JAX - Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-110) vs. LAR (LONDON GAME)
Through the first month and a half of his rookie season, Travis Hunter has fallen far short of expectations. And that applies to both Travis Hunters. The offensive and the defensive. He’s been playing a lot more offense, but not making a huge impact, with just 20 receptions for 197 yards and no TDs so far this year. But there is light at the end of this tunnel.
Big tight end Brenton Strange is now on IR and Brian Thomas Jr. has been one of the biggest disappointments of this campaign. There’s space for Hunter to blossom in Duval.
Jags head coach Liam Coen also explicitly said that he’s looking to deliberately get Hunter more involved in the offense with more plays designed with the No. 2 pick as the go-to option worked into the game plan for this week’s London matchup with the Rams. Hunter has topped 40 yards receiving in two of the last three games as well.
Quinshon Judkins, RB, CLE - Over 93.5 Rushing Yards (-110) vs. MIA
This might be our favorite bet of the entire Sunday slate. The Dolphins are a complete mess offensively with Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa floundering, but the defense has arguably been worse than the offense. And especially so against the run: they’re giving up the most rushing yards per game overall (168.5) but also the most to RBs specifically (134.3). Their 5.6 yards allowed per carry are also third-most.
Enter Cleveland Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins. He’s been the one shining light this season for an absolutely atrocious offense. He had 94 yards in Week 3, 82 yards in Week 4, and 110 in Week 5. What’s most impressive about that is the fact that he did it with absolutely zero support from the passing game, as Browns QBs passed for 142, 184, and 190 yards. Miami can’t stop the run, and all the Browns can do is run, so Judkins will get this number. Even if it takes him 30 carries.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND - Over 87.5 Rushing Yards (-110) @ LAC
We also really love Jonathan Taylor to score a TD in this game, but considering those odds are at -180, we’ll stick with the yardage here. Through six weeks, Taylor leads the NFL in attempts (115), yards (603), and rushing TDs (seven). He’s had great success running outside the tackles specifically, and this Chargers unit is one of the units that is most susceptible to that as well.
The thing that really convinced us on this one, however, was L.A.’s recent record stopping opposing RBs. The Chargers gave up 128 yards on just 16 carries to De’Von Achane last week, and they allowed 111 on just 14 carries to Jacory Croskey-Merritt the week before. JT is going to slice this defense up.
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, DET - Over 23.5 Receiving Yards (-110) vs. TB
There are three teams in the NFL allowing opposing RBs more than 55 receiving yards per game. The rest of the NFL is below 46 yards. So that trio is special. The third of that trio is the Buccaneers, who give up 55.2 receiving yards per game to opposing running backs.
CMC had seven receptions for 57 yards against them last week, Saquon Barkley had four for 31 two weeks prior (an over we hit), Breece Hall had four for 31 the week before that, and the week before that, Nick Chubb had 29 and Woody Marks had 37. In Week 1, Tampa Bay allowed Bijan Robinson to go for 100 yards on six receptions.
With precedent sorted on the defensive side, let’s look at Gibbs’ recent receiving track record. Through six games, he’s been doing a bit of an up-and-down system when it comes to receiving yards: 31, 10, 32, 6, 33, and 0 last week. He seems due for a big night through the air, no?
