The 5 best NFL player prop bets for Week 1

The five smartest player prop wagers of Week 1.

You never really know what you’re going to see making Week 1 prop bets. Teams are as healthy as they’re going to be all season and expectations are high for every fanbase.

It gets easier to make prop bets during the season when injuries create defensive vacuums that are exploited. We will see similar to what Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp did last year – the numbers had to keep getting higher to the point where if you wanted to take the Over. Kupp would need nine catches for 105 yards, and I cashed on him consistently.

For Week 1, we take four players who have never played a down for their current team and one mainstay. Get the popcorn ready.
