Brandon Aiyuk OVER 76.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Both the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are nowhere near full strength ahead of their matchup in Week 3. Without Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and likely George Kittle, the 49ers offense is severely depleted. Although running the football will remain a priority, the lack of competition for targets makes Brandon Aiyuk a smash play in this spot. Aiyuk has taken some time to get back into football shape after his holdout, and this is the week where the stars align for him to take off.
Jordan Whittington OVER 33.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
If you're looking at the Los Angeles Rams injury report heading into their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, you'll notice plenty of their skill position players on it. Without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in the mix, the Rams are going to have to trust some of the depth in their wide receiver room. Enter Jordan Whittington. By all accounts, Whittington is going to enter into the Kupp role on offense, which means he should feast from an opportunity stand point. Look for a big day from Whittington in Week 3.

Derrick Henry OVER 66.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Although it's pretty clear that the Baltimore Ravens don't plan on running Derrick Henry into the ground, this is still a matchup and rushing prop where there's value to take advantage of. Henry has already rushed for 130 yards over his first two games in Baltimore, and is headed into a Week 3 matchup vs. Dallas. The New Orleans Saints torched the Cowboys on the ground last week, and the Ravens have the personnel to do the same.

Alvin Kamara OVER 67.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
No, we're not box score chasing with Alvin Kamara this week. The New Orleans Saints running back is coming off a dominant showing in Week 2 against Dallas, and has a strong matchup in Week 3 vs. Philadelphia. Kamara looks the part of a running back who's going to continue to get a big workload, with no competition in his backfield. The Eagles are another good matchup for Kamara to take advantage of and have a big day against.
Zamir White OVER 61.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Zamir White is in line for a big week, and what should be a big workload. The buzz has been there surrounding White from head coach Antonio Pierce that he's going to get ramped up in rush attempts, and this is the perfect matchup for that. The Raiders are nearly touchdown favorites against Carolina, and the Panthers have struggled to stop the run.
