There’s no question player props are becoming more popular year after year, especially when it
comes to season long props. When it comes to newbies, there seems to be more attention on
rookies, particularly high offensive first round picks. We’ll handicap some of the more explosive
players who will garner a lot of betting action this coming season.
Regular Season Passing Yards
Jayden Daniels, Commanders
Under 3100.5 Passing Yards -135 Over 3100.5 Passing Yards +105
Jayden Daniels was drafted second overall and without a doubt will be the starter for the
Commanders and this line has continued to move up over the last couple of weeks. Assuming
Daniels starts all 14 games, he’ll need to average 221.5 passing yards to hit this total. Over the
last 10 years, only one rookie quarterback (Bryce Young 2023) has failed to hit this total while
playing 14 games. A big reason why the juice is higher on the under, the LSU-product can run
and usually picks up big yardage with his feet, which increases his chance of getting hit, and
hurt. Barring injuries or benching, Daniels should be able to hit this number.
Fantasy Projection: 3464 Passing Yards
Regular Season Receiving Yards
Malik Nabers, Giants
Under 900.5 Receiving Yards -150 Over 900.5 Receiving Yards +120
Malik Nabers has been lighting it up during training camp and is showing that he can be the next
big star in the Big Apple. He was drafted sixth overall and Fantasy League projections have him
hitting 1000 yards this season. The Giants are in need of a gamebreaker with big-play ability,
and Nabers fits the bill. He dominated at LSU averaging more than 12 yards per target. The
upside for him is huge but the downside may be his quarterback. Daniel Jones struggled last
season but he really didn’t have a player like Nabers to help. Another team that likely falls
behind in games, meaning airing out the ball, and Nabers should be ready for garbage yardage
in some games.
Fantasy Projection: 1031 Receiving Yards
Regular Season Receiving Yards
Rome Odunze, Bears
Under 700.5 Receiving Yards -135 Over 700.5 Receiving Yards +105
Another rookie who has seen his total climb over the past few weeks. Rome Odunze was an
absolute star for the Huskies last year, many felt he was the best receiver in college. Now, he’s
teamed up with first overall pick, Caleb Williams and the Bears could be a fun team to watch.
It’s always tough to bet overs on rookies, but it’s even more difficult when that rookie will be
WR3 in Chicago. DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and even Cole Kmet will get more balls their way,
but Odunze has the talent and draft capital to exceed expectations.
Fantasy Projection: 804 Receiving Yards
