NFL player props continue to grow in popularity, as they give fantasy football players an easy way to get accustomed to sports betting.
The player props' “unders” hit 55% of the time between the 2017 and 2019 regular seasons, though 2020 has not seen that trend continue, with just 51.7% of props going under.
One way to consistently find defined edges is by utilizing PFF's player props tool. The ability to adjust both number and price means you are always confident of the expected value for each prop bet. My written plays — which are constructed using this tool — went 4-0 on Sunday and 2-0 on Monday, bringing my year-to-date record to 24-12 for +10.15 units.
