I went 4-1 picking my top five player props last week, and I’ll try and replicate that success this week with my top plays for passing, rushing and receiving yardage.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert OVER 263.5 yards (+102) at Packers
Herbert has thrown for over 290 yards four times this season, and he’s set to have another successful day as a passer this week against a banged-up Packers defense. Herbert’s No. 1 receiver Keenan Allen is expected to play through a shoulder injury, and his other receivers showed enough improvement last week to feel confident in this passing yardage prop even with Allen battling an injury.
Browns RB Jerome Ford OVER 55.5 yards (-121) vs. Steelers
Ford has asserted himself as the Browns lead running back since Nick Chubb went down with an injury, and he’s set for another successful outing this week in what’s expected to be an ugly, run-heavy contest against the division rival Steelers. The Browns are turning to rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson with Deshaun Watson injured, which gives them even more reason to lean on the run.
Buccaneers RB Rachaad White UNDER 44.5 yards (-129) at 49ers
White has shown improvement as the Bucs lead running back as of late, but he’s struggled with efficiency on the ground and now has to face a tough 49ers defensive front that just limited Travis Etienne to 35 rushing yards. That coupled with the fact that the Bucs will likely be trailing and have to abandon the run makes the under feel like a strong play here.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride OVER 55.5 yards (-133) at Texans
McBride has thrived as the Cardinals primary receiving tight end with Zach Ertz on IR, and he hit his stride last week with Kyler Murray back under center. The Texans have struggled defending tight ends this season, so McBride should have another strong day as a receiver as Murray and the Cardinals look to keep pace with rookie sensation C.J. Stroud and the high-flying Texans offense.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram UNDER 45.5 yards (-121) vs. Titans
Engram struggled last week like most Jaguars players, but he isn’t in a great bounce back spot this week considering the Titans defense has been one of the stingiest against the tight end position. Trevor Lawrence projects to lean on his outside receivers in this one since that’s where the Titans struggle on defense, which will likely cap Engram’s receiving upside.
Passing: 8-4 (last week 0-1)
Rushing: 10-10 (last week 2-0)
Receiving: 8-12 (last week 2-0)
