Best Player Prop Bets For Week 6 of the NFL Season
by Sam Cox
It was more miss than hit with our Week 5 player props amid dips in player usage and surprising game scripts. That doesn’t knock our confidence heading into Week 6, though, with a string of intriguing matchups to get stuck into.
The Broncos and Jets kick things off on Sunday with the second London game of the year. The early window features the 3-2 Seahawks against the 4-1 Jaguars, and Drake Maye’s Patriots have a chance to move to 4-2.
The pick of the late games is the high-flying Niners on the road in Tampa Bay before a SNF showdown between the Lions and Chiefs.
Hassan Haskins Over 29.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Hassan Haskins had five rushes for 13 yards in Week 5. It looks like it’ll be running back by committee for the Chargers with Omari Hampton placed on injured reserve.
Only one team has conceded more yards per rush than the Dolphins so far this season. Miami has conceded 137 more rushing yards than any other team.
Los Angeles’ offensive line is without its starting tackles. It hampered Justin Herbert’s chances to make plays from the pocket and inevitably made it harder to run outside the tackles.
This makes life a little harder for Haskins, but if Miami can pressure Herbert consistently, it could also lead to the Chargers running the ball more frequently.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 78.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
In the midst of an All-Pro-level season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has cleared this line in all five games so far. It is almost disrespectful of FanDuel to suggest Smith-Njigba might have fewer than 78 receiving yards.
The Seahawks star averages 106.8 yards per game. His yards per target is the highest in the league. Seattle is facing a Jacksonville team that has allowed the sixth-most completions and the fifth-most passing yards in 2025.
Just four players have more receptions than Smith-Njigba, and triple-crown-chasing Puka Nacua is the only receiver with more receiving yards. Sam Darnold has quickly developed chemistry with his WR1, and he’s been unafraid to fire the ball downfield.
Bo Nix Over 21.5 Completions (+100)
Denver’s offensive line is the best in the NFL, even managing to keep the Eagles’ pass rush relatively quiet in Week 5. In Week 6, the Broncos are facing the Jets and their mediocre pass rush in London.
Bo Nix has gone over this line in four of five games this season. His play has been inconsistent, and his bad throw rate is higher than Sean Payton would like, but Nix has still been able to get the job done.
In Courtland Sutton, Nix has a trusted, do-it-all receiver, who was targeted 10 times last week. Evan Engram, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin are solid secondary options. RJ Harvey is a reliable receiving back when he’s on the field.
TreVeyon Henderson Over 9.5 Rushing Attempts (-108)
It’s time for the Patriots to shift from Rhamondre Stevenson to TreVeyon Henderson. The former has had six more carries than the latter so far this season, but Stevenson is only averaging 3.7 yards per carry.
Henderson’s been on the field for 39% of snaps compared with Stevenson’s 55%. The Pats’ offensive line has overachieved so far, including some impressive run blocking grades.
The efficiency from Henderson hasn’t been much better than Stevenson in a relatively small sample, but New England needs to see what it has in the 38th overall pick.
Week 6 is a great opportunity. The game script against the Saints should lend itself to plenty of rushing plays.
Matthew Golden Over 3.5 Receptions (+140)
Green Bay eased Matthew Golden into the offense in the first couple of weeks. Before their bye, the Packers targeted Golden more frequently in Weeks 3 and 4, resulting in the electric wideout hitting this over in consecutive games.
His snap count has climbed from under 50% in Week 1 to 70.8% in Week 3 and just shy of 60% in Week 4.
Golden and the Packers are facing a Bengals team that has conceded the seventh-most passing attempts and the fourth-most passing yards per game. Only a handful of teams are pressuring the quarterback less frequently.
