Top 10 NFL Week 8 Player Props and Best Bets for Sunday’s Slate

Six teams on a bye cuts the game total in Week 8, but opportunity is plentiful in the player prop market with dozens of options per game. A total of 11 games on Sunday and a single game this Monday in Kansas City still affords a prop player more than 1,000 options.

Here’s our top 10 most intriguing player props in NFL Week 8:

George Kittle, Anytime Touchdown at +195 (FanDuel)
He returned from injured reserve last week and did absolutely nothing. With his self-created National Tight Ends Day holiday this week, expect to see a more aggressive and determined Kittle against the Texans and former 49ers assistant coach DeMeco Ryans’ defense. No doubt Kittle will be looking to make up for last week’s dud.

Jaxson Dart, OVER 36.5 Rushing Yards at -115 (DraftKings)
Dart had run for 50-plus rushing yards in his first three starts before getting held in the pocket by the Broncos last week. But as stingy as the Denver defense has been slowing scrambling quarterbacks this season; Philadelphia has been quite the opposite. The Eagles have been giving up over nine yards per carry to quarterbacks.

Dart ran 13 times for 58 yards and a 20-yard touchdown against the Eagles two weeks ago.

He has 178 rushing yards and three touchdowns since taking over the QB1 role. He will run enough to go OVER 36.5 yards.

Saquon Barkley, UNDER 79.5 Rushing Yards at -114
For some crazy reason, it seems like the one thing we can count on the Eagles’ offense to do from week to week is underutilize Barkley. He had 12 carries for 58 yards vs. the Giants a couple of weeks ago. With wide receiver A.J. Brown dealing with a balky hamstring, the Giants can crowd the line and keep their former teammate in check.

Tyler Allgeier, OVER 9.5 Rushing Attempts at +100 (BetMGM)
It’s a little risky to bet on the No. 2 guy, but the Falcons should roll over the dreadful Dolphins and have this one put away sometime early in the second half. Allgeier to finish the day rather than risk injury to Bijan Robinson. Allgeier has four games with 10-plus carries this season.

George Pickens, OVER 55.5 Receiving Yards at -118 (BetMGM)
Denver has a tough defense, but I expect them to have more success against the Dallas run game. Dak Prescott will be forced to throw it early and often. Pickens has been a reliable option for him, catching 36 of 54 targets for more than 55.5 yards in his last six games.

The Broncos will make him work with a deep and talented secondary, but Prescott leads the NFL in completions and trusts Pickens to make plays. He can go OVER this mark again and might do it early in the game if the Cowboys take deep shots to loosen the press coverage. He had a long gain of 43 yards or more in three consecutive games.

Drake Maye, OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns at -110 (BetMGM)
Maye has been getting it done for the Patriots, recording two or more passing touchdowns in five of the last six games. The Browns’ defense is formidable but has struggled on the road, giving up more passing touchdowns (12) than rushing touchdowns (three).

Jaylen Warren, UNDER 57.5 Rushing Yards at -115 (BetMGM)
Warren blew up for 127 yards on 16 carries against the Bengals, an outlier from his previous high of 52 yards in a single game. Green Bay’s No. 2-ranked run defense will try to make the Steelers one-dimensional.

Aaron Rodgers and the passing game have been adequate, but nothing to be feared.

Tua Tagovailoa, UNDER 206.5 Passing Yards at -115 (BetMGM)
He’s gone over this mark just twice this season, but don’t count on him to make it three times against an Atlanta defense that held Mac Jones to 152 last week and Josh Allen to 180 one game prior to that.

Tua Tagovailoa, OVER .5 Interceptions at -135 (BetMGM)
The struggle has become all too real for the embattled QB. He has three interceptions in consecutive games and last week threw three in the second half alone to boost his season total to 10. With Miami’s banged-up WR corps and TE Darren Waller on IR, windows will be tighter and reads trickier for Tagovailoa.

Joe Flacco, OVER 243.5 Passing Yards at -114 (Caesars)
The Jets have a solid pass defense, but Joe Flacco has been highly effective. In his second start with the Bengals last week vs. the Steelers, Flacco blew up for 342 yards. He isn’t likely to replicate those numbers against the Jets’ pass defense, but he’ll go OVER because of New York’s stout front erasing the run as an option.
