The talent of Saquon Barkley has been undeniable since the day he was selected by the New York Giants with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Durability and the team around him have been his biggest hurdles over his career, which made many wonder if he’d truly live up to being a No. 2 overall pick. Barkley proved last season in his first year with the Eagles what he can do when surrounded by the proper talent and offense, leading the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards and 125.3 rushing yards per game, playing a key role in the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. Barkley has 148 rushing yards over two games this season, and SportsLine’s computer model views Barkley Over 85.5 rushing yards as a strong option for Week 3 NFL player props when online sports betting. 

The Eagles play the Rams in a postseason rematch from last year, and Barkley rushed for 205 yards against the Rams in that matchup. The model isn’t projecting that type of outburst, but it does expect the 28-year-old running back to rush for more than 100 yards, going well Over the 85.5 rushing yards margin for Week 3 NFL prop picks.

Dak Prescott, Cowboys, Over 260.5 passing yards (-111)

Prescott threw for 361 yards last week against the Giants in Week 2 in just his second game since November 3, as he missed the second half of last season with a hamstring injury. In 2023, Prescott averaged 265.6 passing yards per game for 4,516 yards on the season, which was third in the NFL. Prescott averaged more than 260.5 passing yards per game in four of his previous six seasons, and the addition of George Pickens alongside CeeDee Lamb gives Prescott a legitimate WR2. The Cowboys play the Bears, and Jared Goff threw for 334 yards against Chicago last week.

The model projects Prescott for 290 passing yards on Sunday against Chicago, comfortably going Over his 260.5 number at DraftKings Sportsbook. Other betting apps have Prescott’s total at or around 264.5 yards, so you’ll find the best value at DraftKings. With the latest DraftKings promo code, new users can receive $200 in bonus bets and $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket. 

Saquon Barkley, Eagles, Over 83.5 rushing yards (-118)

Last season was filled with incredible moments for Barkley, but rushing for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 7.9 yards per carry to send the Eagles to the NFC Championship Game is one that will certainly stand out. The Eagles meet the Rams again on Sunday for the first time since that epic postseason performance, and although he likely won’t see 90% of the snaps like he did in the playoffs against the Rams, Barkley has played 81.3% of snaps this season. Barkley had 88 yards on 22 carries last week against the Chiefs, and he’ll likely receive another sizeable workload on Sunday.

The model projects Barkley to rush for 104 yards, compared to his over/under total of 83.5 rushing yards at BetMGM. Barkley went Over this total in 13 of 16 regular-season games last year and in three of four playoff contests. He averaged 125.3 rushing yards per game last season, and the 28-year-old is showing the burst this fall. BetMGM offers Barkley’s over/under at 83.5 rushing yards, while other sportsbooks have Barkley’s total at least five yards higher, making this the place to make this wager. With the latest BetMGM promo code, new users can receive up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses.

Justin Jefferson, Vikings, Over 70.5 receiving yards (-114)

Jefferson is no stranger to adapting to playing with new quarterbacks, and regardless of who is throwing him passes, the 6-foot-1 elite receiver finds ways to dominate. The 26-year-old holds the NFL record for receiving yards per game (95.7 yards), and Jefferson has played with seven different quarterbacks over that span. He’s had 100-yard performances with quarterbacks such as Jaren Hall and Nick Mullens, as the Vikings turn to Carson Wentz on Sunday. Wentz will be Jefferson’s eighth different starting quarterback, but Wentz has had MVP-caliber moments throughout his career, so there is upside.

The Vikings play the Bengals, who ranked 22nd in passing defense last season. The model still projects Jefferson to finish with 90 yards, despite playing with Wentz for the first time in his career, and Jefferson could have some motivation in a matchup of two of the best wide receivers in the NFL with Ja’Marr Chase on the opposite sideline. FanDuel Sportsbook offers Jefferson’s over/under at 70.5 receiving yards, the lowest of the major sportsbooks, making this the place to make this play. With the latest FanDuel promo code, new users earn $300 in bonus bets if your first bet of $5 or more wins.
