• See the props he’s betting on Sunday as well as all the lines below

Although a number of key players’ statuses are uncertain for Sunday, there are still a ton of NFL player props to bet for Sunday of Week 9 in the 2021 NFL season. I’m +2.25 units on the player props I’ve bet over the last five weeks after losing 1.67 units last week.

I’m back with another nine props I like for Sunday. You’ll find the NFL player props for Week 9 broken into sections below, with my best prop bets for each included.

NFL Passing Props

All props as of November 6.

Patrick Mahomes owns the highest passing total of the week at 293.5, when his Chiefs take on the Packers. The lowest is set at 204.5 for Jimmy Garoppolo against the Cardinals.

Best Passing Props to Bet for Week 9

1) Tyrod Taylor OVER 227.5 Passing Yards (-114) & OVER 19.5 Completions (+100); risk 1 unit on each

One of my favorite player props that I bet this season came back in Week 2, when I took Tyrod Taylor to go over 19.5 completions against the Browns. The bet was spoiled when Taylor did not return for the second half due to injury.

However, sportsbooks are giving us another shot to expose them on a bad Taylor line in Week 9, his first game back.

in 7 games against the Dolphins, Tyrod Taylor has completed 66% of his passes for 1,443 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions https://t.co/775NgfPcCB

Taylor threw for 291 yards on 21 completions in Week 1 against the Jaguars. He posted these numbers while playing with a mostly positive game script. Then in Week 2, he completed 10 passes for 125 yards in the first half against Cleveland, the league’s seventh-ranked pass defense.

On Sunday, Taylor gets the Dolphins, who rank 31st against the pass, and have allowed an average of 330.8 passing yards per game over their last four.

2) Derek Carr OVER 278.5 Passing Yards (-113); risk 0.5 units

Derek Carr is averaging 324.1 passing yards per game and has gone over this total in five of seven. Also, when he has gone over, the Raiders are 5-0. When he’s gone under, they’re 0-2.

I appreciate this offense loses a significant piece in Henry Ruggs, who led the team in receiving yards and yards per reception. (The much, MUCH more significant loss was the lives of the 23-year-old woman and her dog, to be clear.) But I don’t think this Las Vegas offense is a whole lot different without Ruggs.

We may finally see what all the offseason Bryan Edwards hype was about, and will get a lot more Zay Jones on the field. Plus, Darren Waller probably goes back to being a target monster—this bodes well for Carr’s passing numbers.

Ruggs only posted a reception longer than 40 yards in three of seven games. It’s not like his speed was the only reason Carr’s passing numbers have been huge. What makes me most confident with this one is the fact that the Raiders only average 3.5 yards per carry (31st). They have to pass.

NFL Rushing Props

With Derrick Henry out for Week 9, and beyond, the highest rushing over/under belongs to Nick Chubb at 86.5.

Best Rushing Props to Bet for Week 9

1) Aaron Jones OVER 62.5 Rushing Yards (-115); risk 0.5 units

Aaron Jones has gone over 62.5 rushing yards in four of his last seven. But he’s also played a handful of pretty good run defenses this season. That will not be the case in Week 9, when the Packers take on the Chiefs.

Kansas City ranks 28th in yards per carry allowed, surrendering 4.6 per tote. Green Bay will also be without Aaron Rodgers for this one, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week. I suspect this is going to mean a lot of extra carries for Jones with Jordan Love under center.

2) Tyrod Taylor OVER 18.5 Rushing Yards (-113); risk 0.5 units

It feels a little weird putting more money on Tyrod Taylor, but this is a disrespectful line. Taylor rushed for 40 yards in Week 1, and then 15 in the first half of Week 2. He has only gone under this rushing total in 12 of his 49 career starts.

NFL Receiving Props

Tyreek Hill’ receiving over/under is the highest of Week 9, set at 83.5. Stefon Diggs is a close second at 82.5.

Best Receiving Props to Bet for Week 9

1) Dallas Goedert OVER 55.5 Receiving Yards (-115); risk 0.5 units

In two games without Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert has gone for 70 and 72 receiving yards on five and seven targets, respectively. The seven targets last week actually accounted for an absurd 50% target share in Week 8—only looking to Jalen Hurts targets. He has also gone over this total in four of his last five games.

The Chargers have been very good against the pass, giving up the fifth-fewest passing yards thus far.  But they have given up the seventh-most receiving yards to tight ends this season. This Chargers defense is the one that nearly restored all the David Njoku pre-draft hype, allowing him to go off for 149 yards.

Goedert has the trust of his quarterback Jalen Hurts, and I like this game to remain competitive enough for Hurts to continue looking for his tight end on the intermediate routes.

Touchdown Props

The player with the best odds to score a touchdown in Week 9 is Austin Ekeler at -150. Alvin Kamara has the best odds to score his game’s first touchdown, though, seeing +450 odds.

Anytime Touchdown Picks for Week 9

Here’s who I like to find the end zone and why:

1. Ja’Marr Chase anytime touchdown (-105): The rookie has a touchdown in six of eight games this season, and seems to have his best games against tough opponents. He roasted the Ravens and Packers this season, catching a touchdown against both. This is another big one for the Bengals as they host the Browns. (0.33 units)
2. Cordarrelle Patterson anytime touchdown (+165): Patterson has a touchdown in four of seven games this season, and this line is as short as +130 elsewhere. (0.33 units)
3. AJ Dillon anytime touchdown (+380): In a game where I see Jordan Love handing the ball off early and often, especially considering the Chiefs can’t stop the run, this is a great value play. Dillon saw 16 carries last week, 11 in Week 6, and 15 in Week 4. His usage seems to be boom or bust, but a goal line touch is worth betting on at this price. (0.25 units)

Excludes MA.
