Saints vs Panthers Props – Best Player Prop Bets for Week 2 Monday Night Football

• Saints vs Panthers props are live ahead of their Monday Night Football clash in Week 2
• Panthers running backs earned a 26% target share in Week 1

NFC South rivals clash in the first of two Monday Night Football games tonight as Bryce Young and the Panthers host the Saints. Young’s receiving corps is short on star power, which explains why he targeted his running backs and tight ends so frequently in Week 1, which something we’ll look to for our MNF Saints vs Panthers props.

Unlike New Orleans, there’s no Chris Olave or Michael Thomas for Young to throw to, but that doesn’t mean the Saints vs Panthers player props market is lacking Carolina pass catching options. Miles Sanders saw a heavy work load in the pass game last week and we expect that to continue in our Monday Night Football props card.

Saints vs Panthers Player Props

Sanders currently boasts a receiving yards over/under of just 11.5 yards, a number he dwarfed in Week 1. The former Eagle is not necessarily an elite pass catching option, but the way this game sets up he’s likely to be the beneficiary of plenty of targets.

MNF Prop #1: Miles Sanders Over 11.5 Receiving Yards

That’s because the Panthers offensive line is very underwhelming. They allowed the fifth most hurries in Week 1, watching Young take four QB hits and two sacks. The Saints defense is fresh off a three sack performance of their own, blitzing on more than 30% of their defensive snaps.

A similar game plan from New Orleans against a raw quarterback like Young is likely. As a result, expect the number one pick to get the ball out quickly. He targeted Sanders six times against the Falcons last week, and Chuba Hubbard an additional two times.

Solid usage for Miles Sanders in #Panthers debut:

* 44-of-77 snaps (57%)
* 18-of-27 RB carries (66%)
* 20 routes on 42 Bryce Young dropbacks (48%)
* 6 targets for a strong 15.8% share

That gave the Panthers RBs a 26% target share, and given how Sanders outsnapped Hubbard 44-28, we can expect him to get the majority of the running back looks again in Week 2. It also doesn’t hurt that the Panthers are 3-point underdogs, making it likely they’ll have to throw more to keep up.

MNF Prop #2: Adam Thielen Longest Reception Under 17.5 Yards

Sticking with the Carolina side of this matchup as we’re looking to fade Adam Thielen. The 33-year-old saw just two short area targets against the Falcons, and isn’t the type of receiver to make a big play after the catch.

To make matters worse, Young’s average yards per attempt was 3.8 in his debut per the Saints vs Panthers picks. New Orleans’ corners led by Marshon Lattimore are also a problem for Thielen, as they’re a highly talented group that held Tennessee receivers to less than 140 yards last week.

MNF Prop #3: Juwan Johnson Strikes First

Moving over to the touchdown prop bets market now, where Juwan Johnson stands out. The 6-foot-4 tight end caught seven TD in 2022, all of which came inside the red zone. Carr is used to peppering tight ends in that area of the field from his time with Las Vegas, and looked Johnson’s way five times in Week 1.

Saints vs Panthers Scoring Props

The Panthers defense didn’t face a lot of pass attempts in Week 1, but struggled versus tight ends in 2022. They yielded six total touchdowns to that position and a 70% reception rate.

Saints vs Panthers Prop Picks: Juwan Johnson First TD (+1400) 0.5 units, Anytime TD (+300) 1 unit

Week 2 Props Record So Far: 1-3 (-1.65 units)
