Week 9 DFS Prop Picks

Ashton Jeanty More 28.5 Receiving Yards – Splash Sports

Jeanty has been a reliable receiving option for Las Vegas, clearing 28.5 receiving yards in seven of his first eight games. He has totaled 376 receiving yards on 37 catches, including 64 yards against the Jets in Week 8.

His receiving workload gives him a strong path to the over, even if the Raiders struggle to establish their rushing attack. Jeanty’s recent usage as a pass catcher makes this one of the more appealing volume-based props on the card.

Javonte Williams More 75.5 Rushing Yards – Dabble

Williams has rushed for 528 yards through eight games, averaging 66 yards per contest. He has surpassed 75.5 rushing yards twice this season, including a huge 155-yard performance against Philadelphia in Week 7.

The line is above his season average, and his 56-yard outing against Arizona in Week 8 was a step back. Still, Williams has shown he can handle a substantial workload, and a strong Dallas game script could give him enough carries to reach the number.

Malik Nabers More 74.5 Receiving Yards – Betr

Nabers has been on a tear, recording 605 receiving yards through seven games. He has topped 74.5 yards in five of those seven outings, including three straight games with at least 111 receiving yards.

His recent production is backed by significant target volume: Nabers has caught 48 passes on 69 targets. Philadelphia is a challenging opponent, but Nabers’ consistent role in the Giants’ passing game makes the over attractive.

Jared Goff More 252.5 Passing Yards – Chalkboard

Goff has thrown for 2,164 yards through seven games, averaging approximately 309 passing yards per game. He has exceeded 252.5 yards in four of his seven games, including 303 yards against Green Bay in Week 7 and 412 yards against Carolina in Week 4.

Goff’s recent Week 8 outing was quieter, with 176 yards against Minnesota. However, Detroit’s offense has shown the ability to generate substantial passing volume, and Miami’s defense could provide an opportunity for a bounce-back performance.

Drake Maye More 1.5 Passing Yards – Underdog

Please verify this line before publishing. Maye has thrown for at least 178 passing yards in every game this season, including 199 yards against Miami in Week 8 and 321 yards against Chicago in Week 7.

If the intended prop is truly 1.5 passing yards, it would be an extremely low threshold. If the intended pick is More 1.5 passing touchdowns, that is a much different and more difficult prop: Maye has thrown multiple touchdowns in five of his eight games, including four against Las Vegas in Week 5.
