It’s already Week 5 of the NFL! It seems like it goes faster each year. The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams kicked it off Thursday night with an overtime thriller. Don’t forget we have football overseas bright and early again this week. Kickoff is set for 9:30 AM ET, 6:30 AM PT. The Minnesota Vikings are going from Ireland to London, England. They’ll take on the Cleveland Browns, who will turn to the rookie Dillon Gabriel for his first career start. Let’s head to the NFL Prop Shop and find our favorite NFL Player prop bets for Week 5.
This is also the first week of bye weeks for a few teams. The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Pittsburgh Steelers all get the very early bye week as they sit at home and recoup before a grueling 13-week run to end the season. After the London game, it leaves us six games in the 1:00 PM window, headlined by the Broncos at Eagles. Three games fill the afternoon window, and the Patriots go to Buffalo for Sunday Night Football. The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Kansas City Chiefs to wrap up the weekend on Monday Night.
NFL Prop Shop: Top Week 5 Player Prop Bets
Quinshon Judkins Over 92.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-115)
Let’s head to London and get our Sunday started off with a nice early morning prop. Quinshon Judkins has been a man on fire since he joined the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. It didn’t take him long to get up to speed, amassing 71 total yards in his first NFL game action against Baltimore. In his second game against a tough Packers defense, he ran for 94 yards and added a single reception to his total as well. Last week, against a tough Lions defense, he ran for 82 yards and tacked on an additional 33 yards through the air.

The Vikings were tormented by backup Kenny Gainwell last week, who rushed for 99 yards, adding another 35 out of the backfield. While Cincinnati just couldn’t move the ball in Week 3, the Falcons had no problems back in Week 2. Bijan Robinson totaled 168 yards against them, while Tyler Allgeier added another 80. DeAndre Swift and Caleb Williams combined for over 100 yards against them on the ground back in Week 1. With Dillon Gabriel making his first start, Cleveland will try to run the ball a lot, and Judkins will be the perfect checkdown safety blanket for the young rookie when he gets in trouble.
Justin Fields Over 51.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Justin Fields hasn’t been afraid to run in the three games he’s played as the quarterback for the New York Jets. In Week 1 against Pittsburgh, he ran for 48 yards on 12 carries. Week 2 against Buffalo was 49 yards on just five attempts. Last week against the Miami Dolphins, he ran wild, racking up 81 yards on seven attempts. Fields’ legs are one of his greatest assets; he plays better when he uses them, and it opens up the playbook more for the Jets when he uses them.

Last week, Jordan Love was highly successful against the Cowboys on his three running attempts, dashing for 28 yards while the Cowboys gave up over 150 yards on the ground to the Packers. Russell Wilson, similar to Love, isn’t much of a rusher, but his three attempts were also very fruitful, resulting in 23 rushing yards. Jalen Hurts, a quarterback more of Fields’ style of play, ran for 62 yards against the Cowboys in Week 1. New York needs to let Justin cook and do his thing.
Can Skattebo Over 90.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-115)
We’ve already touched on one young, explosive rookie running back in Judkins. Let’s shift our attention to another. The New York Giants stud Cam Skattebo. The Arizona State standout has impressed this season. He looked good against the Dallas Cowboys in the backup role, and then exploded against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. He had 60 rushing yards on 10 attempts and caught six passes for another 61 yards. Then, when the keys were turned over to him to be the starter with Tyrone Tracy missing the Chargers game, Skattebo racked up 90 total yards against a tough Chargers defense.
INSPIRING: #Giants RB Cam Skattebo was a ZERO STAR recruit coming out of high school, and did not hold a single offer until months after his SENIOR SEASON had ended…
At ASU, he put up over 2300 Yards and 24 TDs as a senior and was picked 105th by the Giants.

This week, they play the New Orleans Saints, one of the worst teams in the NFL. James Cook totaled up 117 rushing yards alone last week, adding another 18 on three catches. Seattle beat the doors off the Saints so bad they didn’t even need to run the ball. But Christian McCaffrey easily went over the 100-yard mark in Week 2, after Trey Benson and James Conner combined for a solid day in Week 1. With Malik Nabers out, and I believe the Giants will lose this game to New Orleans, they are going to need to get the ball into the hands of their most explosive playmaker.
Marvin Harrison Jr Over 52.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Marvin Harrison has been the butt of a few jokes here lately, with some serious struggles. Last week’s game started off the same way, with two embarrassing drops that turned into interceptions. But he redeemed himself late in that Thursday Night Football game against Seattle, snatching a touchdown catch and making it a respectable day. The Cardinals force-fed him the ball, targeting him 10 times. This week, they play a bad Titans’ defense, and are missing their top two running backs. I’d expect them to hyper target Harrison again to keep building that confidence back up.
You can tell how relieved Marvin Harrison Jr was after this catch
You rarely see sadness/relief after scoring a touchdown. Clearly meant more than a TD. Good for Marv, needed that pic.twitter.com/U4xyMqIG6o

Tennessee has a poor defense, and honestly, just a team in general. The Houston Texans, who haven’t looked good in 2025, manhandled them last week, with Nico Collins catching four passes for 79 yards. Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce both easily surpassed this number in Week 3 with Daniel Jones throwing the ball to them. Devante Adams has 106 yards in Week 2, and his teammate Puka Nacua has 91 yards of his own in the same game. Cortland Sutton put up 61 against them in Week 1, the lead receiver easily passing this 53-yard mark in each game against Tennessee so far in 2025.
