NFL Week 1 Top Player Props to Target

Tyreek Hill OVER 97.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
It's not difficult to get excited about this Week 1 matchup for Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins offense. The Dolphins are against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who weren't world-beaters when defending the pass in 2023. Hill's Week 1 receiving prop might just be shy of 100 yards, but it's a number we're still gravitating toward in this elite matchup.

Anthony Richardson OVER 217.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Anthony Richardson will be a fascinating quarterback to target his player props with this season. We have some real flashes in a limited sample size due to injury in his rookie year, and we're overall bullish on his potential. The Colts are 2.5-point home underdogs against the Houston Texans in Week 1. If there's an area you should be able to take down the Texans, it's in their secondary. Richardson has the arm strength and mobility that should translate to success in this matchup. Richardson succeeded in this matchup last year before getting injured, and we expect his arm to be much more active this time. In a game where the Colts should be chasing points at some juncture, look for Richardson to go over the number on his passing yards.

Malik Nabers OVER 57.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Malik Nabers is set to make his NFL regular season debut for the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon. Nabers is a player we're incredibly bullish on, even with Daniel Jones being the one throwing him the football. Nabers brings an electric component to the Giants offense that's been missing since Odell Beckham Jr. departed. Grab this receiving prop while you can for Nabers because it won't be around in the coming weeks.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba OVER 43.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
With Ryan Grubb now running the offense and calling plays in Seattle, there's reason to be bullish about this group as a unit. The former Washington Huskies play-caller is known for having a high-paced offense, and that's precisely what we will expect in Seattle. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a player that we feel is being undervalued heading into Week 1. His rookie year had its ups and downs, but Smith-Njigba is a player we like to break out in a big way in Year 2, beginning in Week 1.

Chris Olave OVER 64.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Another wide receiver we expect to break out this season is Chris Olave in New Orleans. Olave is the clear focal point in this offense, and if the Saints want to move the football, Olave must be peppered with targets. On paper, this is a nice matchup against the Carolina Panthers, leading us to back Olave to register a big day in their home opener.
Tyreek Hill OVER 97.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
It's not difficult to get excited about this Week 1 matchup for Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins offense. The Dolphins are against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who weren't world-beaters when defending the pass in 2023.
