Looking for the best NFL player prop picks today for Week 6's Sunday slate? From a Giants back leaning on a soft Saints run defense to a Rams receiver coming off a Monday Night Football record, there is plenty of value on the board. Below, we break down our top NFL Sunday Week 6 player prop picks, complete with the lines and the matchup context behind each play.
Best NFL Sunday Week 6 Player Prop Picks
Week 6's Sunday slate pairs a handful of strong offensive trends with some favorable matchups. Maye and the Patriots are riding a two-game surge, Cousins draws a Buffalo defense that has been giving up touchdown passes, and Los Angeles has thrown more than 50 times in three straight games. Here are the props we like best from that slate.
Saints vs. Giants Player Props: Cam Skattebo Over 13.5 Rushing Attempts
Skattebo has carried the ball 81 times through five games, an average of 16.2 per game, and he has reached 14 or more carries in three of them (18, 20, and 18), with 12 and 13 in the other two. The Giants have leaned on him since Jaxon Dart went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 2, and the passing game under Jameis Winston has not been consistent enough to pull New York away from a run-first plan. This week he draws a Saints defense that ranks 32nd in the league in run defense DVOA, after allowing 128.7 rushing yards per game through three weeks, and that Atlanta ran through for 205 yards and five touchdowns on Monday night. With the Giants roughly a pick'em at home and Skattebo looking to atone for a costly overtime fumble in last week's tie, clearing 13.5 carries looks like a strong bet.
Bills vs. Raiders Player Prop Bets: Kirk Cousins Over 1.5 Passing TDs
Cousins has thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of the Raiders' five games, with three in each of the first three games, two against Kansas City, and a quiet one-touchdown day in last week's 45-17 loss to New England when Las Vegas fell behind early. He has 12 touchdown passes and 1,269 yards on the season, and he now faces a Buffalo defense that ranks 27th in total defense and has already allowed Jared Goff four touchdown passes, Drake Maye three, and Matthew Stafford three. The Raiders are home underdogs of roughly 4.5 points in a game with a total of 53.5, a script that should keep Cousins throwing. Clearing 1.5 passing touchdowns looks like a solid bet for a quarterback who has done it in four of five starts.
Jets vs. Patriots Player Props: Drake Maye Over 1.5 Passing TDs
Maye has found his groove after a rough opening month, throwing for 269 yards and three touchdowns against Buffalo and 374 yards and four touchdowns, plus a rushing score, in a 45-17 win over the Raiders, which gives him 722 yards and eight total touchdowns across the last two weeks. The matchup is not a layup, as the Jets rank fourth in total defense and in pass defense (175.0 yards per game) and second in yards per play, and Maye has cleared this number in just two of five games. But New England is a 7.5-point home favorite; its pass offense ranks 10th at 245.2 yards per game, and star receiver A.J. Brown is back at practice with a chance to return from a high ankle sprain. A quarterback playing the best football of his season at home against a division rival looks like a good bet to find the end zone twice through the air.
Cardinals vs. Rams Player Prop Bets: Puka Nacua Over 7.5 Receptions
Nacua has been Matthew Stafford's clear first option since returning from a two-game absence, catching nine passes for 125 yards against Philadelphia and a career-high 17 for 138 yards and a touchdown against Buffalo, a Monday Night Football record on 24 targets. The Rams have thrown more than 50 passes in three straight games, and Stafford attempted 54 last week with Nacua working mostly in short-area routes that produce volume. He is dealing with a groin issue that the team lists as a hip injury, and that has been reported as a pre-hernia, so his availability and snap count are worth watching, but the Rams are 12.5-point home favorites against a 1-4 Cardinals team in a game with a total above 51. Even if a lead trims some second-half volume, a receiver averaging more than 10 catches in his three games clearing 7.5 looks like a good bet.
