We strive for perfection here. I’ve done this long enough to know that’s not always possible, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to try. Last week, in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, we found that perfection, going 3-0 with our picks. Now, we just need to repeat it. So, let’s jump right into our Week 3 prop plays on FanDuel Sportsbook.

NFL Week 3 Prop Plays – FanDuel Sportsbook
Denzel Boston 50+ Receiving Yards (-110)
I’m not here to say that Deshaun Watson is turning back the clock to his Houston Texans days. We aren’t even sure that Watson will make it through the entire season under center for the Cleveland Browns as their starting quarterback. Based on what we saw in Week 1, it didn’t even look like Watson deserved to get to the following week. Instead, Watson turned back the clock and completed 80% of his passes and threw for 239 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
This week, the Browns face a Carolina Panthers team that has played to mixed results this season. Yes, the Bears exploded against them, but the Panthers also made Cooper Rush and the Atlanta Falcons look pretty bad. I wouldn’t expect either to happen tonight, but Watson still has something to offer.
And in Boston, he has the perfect partner to make some splashes downfield. To be honest, depending on your comfort level, you can also keep on going up the ladder here with Boston, as 50 receiving yards seems to be conservative. In his first NFL game, he caught two passes for 59 yards and a touchdown. Last week, he followed that up with a 55-yard reception that would get us to this mark by itself. Overall, Boston had five receptions for 95 yards as he emerges as one of the best rookies of the season.
Even if the Browns get blown out, which I don’t think they will, Boston should hit this mark in garbage time.
TreVeyon Henderson 50+ Rushing Yards (+154)
We could play things conservatively and go for the 40+ rushing yards at -114, but we can also get even more aggressive than this. After missing Week 1, Henderson returned to action in Week 2. His day was highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown run. Aside from that, Henderson carried the ball another 15 times for 37 yards. While he wasn’t exactly efficient, the volume was there. Granted, Rhamondre Stevenson did fumble, but Henderson out-touched him by 10.
I’d expect the Patriots to get Henderson involved again this week. Ultimately, it will take just one play for Henderson to reach the bulk of this number. There was a nine-game stretch in the middle of last season in which Henderson broke the 50-yard mark eight times as we look for him to do it again this week.
Kenneth Walker III Over 82.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
In Week 1, the Miami Dolphins allowed 130 yards rushing yards. They followed that up by allowing 95 yards to the San Francisco 49ers last week. Regardless of the numbers, the Dolphins are simply not very good. Not to jinx anyone’s survivor pool picks or other wagers, but Miami doesn’t stand a chance to win what’s expected to be a one-sided game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Through the first two weeks of the season, Walker has simply dominated the Kansas City backfield. He’s rushed for 173 yards and 117 yards in his first two games of 2026, and both are above his Week 3 player prop. Yes, the game will be one-sided, and it’s likely Walker doesn’t play the whole game, and he then gives way to Emmett Johnson. That has to be the explanation for Walker’s player prop, but it’s also possible he gets to this number in the first half. The expectation is that Walker will play a large part in the game becoming one-sided.
Targeting Johnson at over 24.5 rushing yards is also a viable option if you want to follow that logic.
