Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks

When it comes to making the NFL TNF player prop picks, one important component to keep in mind is that these are matchups that will involve teams on a short week. Of course, that’s the case during the season, so this opening game is the exception.

So, for Ravens vs. Chiefs player props specifically, we’re going to focus on angles that were profitable last season, but we also have to consider offseason moves. For example, Baltimore’s incredible rushing game, but it was certainly impacted over the offseason. As for Kansas City, they have a few different superstars that we can focus on, including new receiving weapons.

 

 

 

Ravens vs. Chiefs Player Props: Zay Flowers Over 53.5 Receiving Yards (-114 at FanDuel)

First up for our experts’ NFL TNF player prop picks is our Baltimore angle. We just mentioned their rushing attack, which led the entire league in rushing yards per game last season. However, it will look much different this season, as RB Derrick Henry will be taking the reins from the duo of RBs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

While many Ravens fans are optimistic about that being a positive change, we’re going to wait and see that Henry is revitalized before making it a part of our NFL TNF player prop picks. Instead, we’re going to focus on a WR that had one of the best rookie seasons of any player last season.

That would, of course, be Zay Flowers. The Boston College product has been even better than the hype, and he torched the Chiefs in last year’s AFC Championship Game. He did so to the tune of 115 yards and a touchdown, but as Baltimore fans remember, he had a costly fumble in that game.

We fully expect him to come out on fire to avenge that mistake, making the first of our NFL TNF player prop picks on Zay Flowers to go over 53.5 receiving yards (-114 at FanDuel).

 

 

 

Ravens vs. Chiefs Player Prop Bets: Travis Kelce Over 5.5 Receptions (-128 at FanDuel)

We stated that we’d have Ravens vs. Chiefs player props, so let’s get into the Kansas City side of things. We also mentioned that they went and got new weapons this offseason, which included a former Raven in WR Hollywood Brown.

However, he hurt his shoulder in the preseason. The other weapon we were referencing was first-round draft pick WR Xavier Worthy. After leaving Texas, he set the record for the fastest official 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so it’s no surprise that fans in KC are excited for the rookie.

Having said all that, we’re going to stay a bit conservative with our NFL TNF player prop picks given that it’s the first game of the season. Instead, we’re going to go with the tried-and-true TE Travis Kelce.

He made the shocking decision to sit out Week 18 last year, which snapped his streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. While that seemed odd, the rest seemed to pay off, as he barreled through Baltimore with 11 receptions, 116 yards and a touchdown in the AFC Championship Game.

So, we’re taking a similar approach as the first of our NFL TNF player prop picks with a slightly different market - Kelce over 5.5 receptions (-128 at FanDuel).
