Week 8 of the NFL is upon us! It kicked off Thursday night with a big game from the Chargers and a stinker from the Minnesota Vikings. It’s a heavy bye week, with six teams not in action. Injuries are plenty, and it’s all highlighted by National Tight End Day! Let’s sift through the games and find the best NFL player prop bets for Week 8.
After the Vikings-Chargers game and with six teams on bye, that’ll leave 11 games on Sunday, and the Commanders and Chiefs wrap it up on Monday Night Football. Teams on bye in Week 8 are the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks. The Eagles and Giants rematch headlines the week, and Aaron Rodgers faces the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.

George Kittle Receiving Yards Ladder
Over 54.5 Yards (-110)
70+ (+197)
80+ (+325)
100+ (+830)
120+ (+2000)
We’re breaking out the ladder again this week. Last week, it got kicked out from under us because we trusted someone from the Jets organization, and that was a bad idea. But we’re here to get it back with George Kittle, and I’m feeling great about this one. Kittle came back last week and blanked us all. Zero catches for zero yards. Kittle came out and apologized to fantasy managers and bettors.
‘Sorry fantasy coaches & anybody that bet on me, my bad, blame Kyle Shanahan, not me’

A great sign that he knows what’s up, and he’ll pay off for us this weekend. It’s also National Tight End Day on Sunday, a “holiday” basically started by Kittle himself. He’s averaged 89 yards per game on each National Tight End Day since it became official in 2019. Kittle is one of the best in the game, and the 49ers need him. Kittle will carry us to the promised land this weekend.
Bijan Robinson Over 90.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Bijan Robinson loves to have big games against bad defenses. Two weeks ago, against the Buffalo Bills, Robinson dashed for 170 yards on the ground. Against the Minnesota Vikings, he ran for 143 yards. Robinson has 10 games in 2024 where he ran for 90 yards or more. Last week, Quinshon Judkins had 84 rushing yards against the Dolphins, almost all coming in the first half of the game. Practice squad call-up Kimani Vidal torched the Dolphins in Week 6 for 124 yards. Rico Dowdell had a Carter day against Miami in Week 5. On 23 attempts, he ran for 206 yards.
Even that horrid New York Jets team ran all over them. Justin Fields and Breece Hall combined for 162 yards. James Cook on Thursday Night Football crossed the century mark in Week 3. The first two weeks of the season, the Dolphins’ defense was able to slow the run down at least, but it’s been an absolute meltdown since. Bijan Robinson will run all over them on Sunday.
Saquon Barkley Over 110 Rushing + Receiving Yards (+106)
Revenge game loading. For the Philadelphia Eagles and Saquon Barkley. The Eagles were embarrassed by the Giants just two weeks ago at MetLife Stadium. Now they head home to the friendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field, with revenge on the mind. The Giants had back-to-back weeks, beating the Eagles and then almost beating the Broncos in big emotional games.
The Eagles will want to prove something in this game, and I think they will. They want to make a statement, and what better way to do so than to run the ball down the Giants’ throats with their former running back? When Saquon faced the Giants last year, he racked up 187 yards against them. With AJ Brown out this week, getting the ball in Barkley’s hands will be the goal.
Lamar Jackson Over 31.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Lamar Jackson logged a full practice on Friday and is looking good to go for the Ravens game at home against the Chicago Bears. The Ravens, at 1-5, are at a point in the year where they must win games. Lamar Jackson is their key to that. Jackson has cleared this number in three of the four games he’s played in this season. 16 times last year, Jackson had at least 33 rushing yards. It’s what he does best. He’s had his time to heal and rest up. If he’s playing, he’s there to play and win. Jackson will use his legs to do so!
