Which NFL Week 9 Player Prop Bets Should I Make? Raiders TE Brock Bowers 50+ Receiving Yards (-150) Bowers returns to action after healing up over the Week 8 bye and faces a defense that has given up three 50-plus-yard performances on the year. Another guy fell three yards short, and two teams have seen their combination of tight ends cross this mark. Bowers is about as close to a lock for easy money as you’ll find. A more aggressive wager worth considering is his 60-plus-yard prop (+105). Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime TD (-120) St. Brown has scored in four of seven contests this year and in 50% of his meetings with the Vikings over the last two seasons. Minnesota’s defense began the year as one of the tougher units vs. the position, though recent struggles have pushed this into favorable territory for WRs. Despite giving up the fewest receptions per game in 2025, only five defenses have fared worse in limiting wideout TD efficiency. Rams WR Davante Adams 60+ Receiving Yards (-107) The Hall-of-Fame-bound receiver has exceeded this mark only twice in his seven appearances as a Ram but came awfully close in three other weeks with 51, 56, and 56 yards. Los Angeles comes out of the bye week with Puka Nacua back in action to help shield Adams from constant doubles. More brazen bettors will be interested in his yardage prop of 70-plus (+135) as five wideouts have generated that much vs. the New Orleans Saints in 2025, and Buffalo’s Khalil Shakir fell a yard short in his bid. Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt Anytime TD (+105) The softest spot of Buffalo’s defense is slowing running backs, and only Tennessee has surrendered touchdowns at a higher frequency in relation to volume of attempts faced. The Chiefs will be without RB Isiah Pacheco, and Hunt is coming off a two-TD game. Rely on the combination of momentum and a positive matchup for an easy payout. Chargers RB Kimani Vidal 100+ Total Yards (+120) Vidal hit this figure in two of the last three games and should have no issue topping the century mark vs. the Tennessee Titans’ fifth-worst defense in this statistical category. On the year, the position has averaged 143 total yards per week and 119.4 of which have come on the ground. Steelers TE Jonnu Smith 4+ Receptions (+122) Five times a tight end has hit this mark in 2025, and a trio of three-grab outings also have been tallied. Smith hasn’t lived up to expectations this year, reaching our four-reception threshold in each of the first two games but not once since. Considering Indianapolis’ offensive prowess and Pittsburgh’s defensive struggles, Smith has a reasonable chance to pay out this week. Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson 90+ Total Yards (+164) Stepping into the RB1 role for the injured Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson has a chance to finally live up to the preseason hype. He flashed a bit of that last week by averaging 7.5 yards per carry on 10 attempts, but he has a chance to pop off against the Atlanta Falcons. This defense has yielded the 13th-most offensive yards to RBs at a shade under 130 per game. Athlon Sports may earn revenue from sports betting operators for audience referrals to betting services.
