Monday Night Football Prop Bets: Best MNF Player Props Week 3

We have our second consecutive Monday Night Football doubleheader this week. The Bengals will host the Rams in a Super Bowl rematch from a couple of years ago. This was slated as the feature matchup, but all eyes are on the Buccaneers and Eagles in the 7:00 p.m. EST slot. 

The spread opened at 6.5 points in favor of the Eagles, but the line has been moving in Tampa Bay’s favor. We will play the Buccaneer’s spread, but there are multiple props with a lot of betting value as well. 

We give props for every primetime game on the slate. Make sure to check back every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday for all the plays from the WSN team. 

Mike Evans Over 57.5 Receiving Yards (-110) on DraftKings

Mike Evans has been the star of the show for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans has caught 12 passes this season for 237 yards with two touchdowns. He has averaged just under 20 yards per catch, and his total is listed at 57.5 yards on Monday. 

The biggest stat to look at for yardage props is targets. Targets equate to more opportunities to rack up yards, and Evans is Baker Mayfield’s favorite receiver. Evans has been targeted 18 times in two games, and this high volume should stay consistent against the Eagles. 

Philadelphia struggles against the pass, which is surprising. They’re also elite against the run, and we don’t expect Tampa Bay to have a lot of success on the ground. The Buccaneers may also be playing from behind in this contest, forcing them to throw the ball.

There are multiple reasons to support Evans as a viable receiving prop on Monday. Look for Mayfield to continue his efficiency in the pocket and find Evans in high-leverage situations. 

Rachaad White Under 49.5 Rushing Yards (-110) on DraftKings

Rachaad White was the hero of the Buccaneers vs Bears game last week. The running back bounced back after a rough start to the season against the Vikings. White averaged 2.3 yards per carry against Minnesota but nearly doubled that against Chicago. 

White is a hard runner, but there is a lot of stacking against him versus Philadelphia. The Eagles have a great front seven that has tormented opposing offensive lines all season. The team has the best rush defense in the NFL, allowing just 52 yards per game. 

Philadelphia hasn’t defended the pass well, so we expect Tampa Bay to attack them through the air. The Buccaneers also have a young offensive line, so they won’t match up well against the Eagles veteran front seven. 

As hard as White runs, we believe they’ll abandon the ground game relatively early in this contest and stick to the passing game. White’s total is low, but it’s worth staying under on the line. 

Even if White has a few explosive gains, it will be very hard for him to reach 50 yards rushing. This total opened in the low 50-yard range and has continued to drop. 

Jalen Hurts Any Time Touchdown Scorers (+115) on DraftKings

Jalen Hurts is always a threat to score because of his running skill. The Eagles use Hurts in multiple ways. He can pick teams apart in the pocket but is also used in designed run calls and scrambles outside the pocket. 

Additionally, when Philadelphia gets inside the five-yard line, he is their primary goal-line rushing threat. The quarterback had two touchdowns last week against the Vikings, and both came on quarterback sneaks. 

The plus money makes Hurts a viable touchdown scorer for Monday. He is typically -120 to score, but the Buccaneers' strong defense has caused the odds to be plus money. Take the gift from DraftKings, and see if the quarterback can continue carrying the ball over the goal line.
