Player prop bets are a great opportunity to start dabbling in the world of sports betting, especially if you’re someone who has played fantasy football. The transition is relatively easy because unlike picking games, you’re still evaluating individual player performance.
When it comes to player props, determining which bet to make can seem daunting. There are so many things to pick from, so how do you know what bets are good bets? That’s where we’re here to help. Each week, we take the player prop lines from BetMGM and break down the best props on the board. We do so by comparing the line to our projections here at PFF. Bets are listed by quality with five stars as the best bets.
Keep in mind that only playing these bets isn’t a strategy for long-term success. You’ll also need to do some work on your own to identify the best plays of the week. That being said, this list will get you off to a good start.

Courtland Sutton, Receiving Yards 61.5 (-118) — OVER ★★★★★
Ezekiel Elliott, Rushing Yards 97.5 (-118) — UNDER ★★★★★
Are we that confident in Brandon Allen under center for the Broncos? No. But someone has to catch the ball, and that someone is Sutton. Sutton had 56 receiving yards in Allen’s first start, but draws a much better matchup this week. Our projections have the over coming in by a fairly wide margin at 81 receiving yards. While we still love Elliott this week in fantasy, 97.5 is a big line that almost always encourages an under play. Elliott is currently projecting at 75.8 rushing yards.
