Last week I had multiple prop bet articles. I went 4-1 in the first. In the second, I hit on props like Jalen Coker’s receiving yards. This week I used the first NFL article for some best bets around the league, and this one for props. Let’s take a look at my top NFL Week 2 prop bets!
Top 2026 NFL Week 2 Prop Bets!
Tommy Tremble Over 14.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
This is one I was on last week as well. 14.5 receiving yards is a pretty low bar for Tommy Tremble. He just had three catches on five targets for 25 yards against Chicago. Tremble played 56% of the snaps and led Carolina’s tight ends, even with Darren Waller on the roster. Waller got 24 snaps, and Tremble got 38. However, some of the snaps Waller lined up elsewhere. His involvement won’t necessarily take Tremble off the field.
The Panthers take on the Falcons this week in an indoor division game. Bryce Young has already shown he is willing to dump it off to Tremble. The Falcons just let tight end Pat Freiermuth go for 46 receiving yards. Tremble’s average depth of target is just slightly over five yards. That’s okay. That means we just need a couple of catches with some YAC. He doesn’t need a seam ball or field-stretching throws. He just needs to get a couple, and I’m confident he will.
Justin Jefferson Over 73.5 Receiving Yards
For my next pick on my NFL Week 2 prop bets card, I’m taking Justin Jefferson over 73.5 receiving yards. He just had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns against Green Bay on nine targets. Now he goes to Soldier Field, where the Bears just allowed 37 points to the Panthers.
The Bears’ top cornerbacks, Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson, did not look good. They allowed Tet McMillan to get 75 yards on five catches and Jalen Coker to get 138 yards on eight catches. I’m sure Jaylon Johnson will cover Jefferson, and they’ll have some safety help. However, Jefferson is still going to get his. He’s the top weapon on this Vikings offense, and Carson Wentz is going to need to rely on him.
Bijan Robinson Over 132.5 Rushing+Receiving Yards (-115)
Bijan Robinson’s value has always been the combination of his two roles. He doesn’t need 25 carries to hit a 130+ yard performance. He just needs a normal workload and the targets he already gets.
Last week, Robinson had 21 carries for 83 yards and eight catches for 90 yards. That’s a total of 173 yards in a game where the Falcons only scored 13 points. He accounted for most of the Falcons’ yards all by himself. Now he faces the Carolina Panthers, who just let both D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai go over 100 yards.
This game feels like the Falcons’ running back could feast. Even if they don’t win the game. Even if it’s Cooper Rush, Jack Strand, or whoever is starting. Bijan Robinson is still going to get his.
Get some more on these plus other prop bets on this week’s podcast – and see if my wife approved of me putting our money on them.
DeVonta Smith Under 60.5 Receiving Yards (-112)
Sometimes I feel weird taking all overs. So I wanted to work an under on this card, and this one caught my eye. Smith just caught three of six targets for 53 yards against Washington. Dallas Goedert had 77 yards. Dontayvion Wicks had 73. Jalen Hurts completed 14 passes to six different weapons.
Now, Philadelphia goes to Tennessee in a game sitting at 39.5 for the total. Sure, it’s likely the Eagles score most of those points. However, with the lower total, I expect they’ll be running often. If they get ahead, Barkley and Jalen Hurts will control this game.
Smith will still be involved. However, I don’t think he’s going to get the volume to get to 60.5 yards. Garrett Wilson got to 79 yards, but honestly, I think he’s better than Smith. The books are pricing this like a 45-point game on a pass-heavy offense. They aren’t. Fifty-three last week, and I bet he gets around fifty this week.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 80.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
The last pick on the NFL Week 2 prop bets card is Jaxon Smith-Njigba over 80.5 receiving yards. He just had eight catches on 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown against a good New England defense. Sam Darnold is out, and Drew Lock is in. That might scare you if you’re betting totals. It shouldn’t scare you away from thinking JSN won’t get the ball.
Arizona lived in two-high coverage in Week 1 and still gave up a touchdown and yards to Ladd McConkey. That is the coverage JSN has eaten up for two years. Seattle does not have the luxury of spreading it around with Lock under center. They need their best receiver to win, and to keep throwing it his way. 80.5 is a number he already blew past, without first-team reps from Lock. Now Lock has the first-team reps. JSN will continue to feast.
