Week 2 NFL Prop Plays (DraftKings)

Kyren Williams Over 76.5 Rushing Yards (-113)

At least to this point, we can forget about Blake Corum in the Los Angeles Rams’ backfield. Corum had just two touches in Week 1 as, once again, it truly was the Kyren Williams show. And there’s no reason not to expect that to continue in Week 2.

While, at the very least, I think the Tennessee Titans will be surprisingly competitive in their home opener, just about every angle points towards a heavy Williams rushing workload. We know that he’s more than capable of handling it. That continued in Week 1 as Williams carried the ball 19 times against the Houston Texans. Granted it was just for 66 yards, but the Titans’ defense is a softer landing spot than Houston’s.

Last week, the Titans allowed 151 rushing yards against the Denver Broncos. We know that Williams is going to receive at least 90% of the Rams’ carries, so this becomes an attainable target and something of interest.

CeeDee Lamb Over 77.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

If there was any doubt that CeeDee Lamb missed Dak Prescott, that was certainly evident in Week 1. Lamb was targeted 13 times against the Philadelphia Eagles and he turned that into seven receptions for 100 yards.

This week, things should be even easier for Lamb in Dallas’ home opener against the New York Giants. There are some legitimate questions in the Giants’ secondary, and based on game flow, they weren’t really tested in Week 1. It’s a rivalry game, and the Cowboys are going to look to come out hard and fast to avenge their Week 1 loss. The expectation here is that the Giants are going to be overmatched and Lamb’s in for a big day. It was also clear that Prescott is still gaining comfort with his other targets, specifically George Pickens, but it already exists with Lamb. And, especially early on in the season, that’s a relationship that Prescott will look to exploit.

Travis Etienne Over 56.5 Rushing Yards (-109)

And suddenly, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ backfield became that much clearer. With Tank Bigsby traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, the path to playing time is now easier for Travis Etienne. In Week 1, with that trade likely pending, Bigsby didn’t play much. From Etienne’s perspective, it was a great thing, and he certainly took advantage of the situation.

Etienne carried the ball 16 times, and he turned that into 143 yards. Last year, Etienne struggled his way to 558 rushing yards in 15 games, but it’s easy to forget he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in the two prior seasons.

Granted, it was just one week against the Carolina Panthers, but Etienne’s explosiveness was back. New coach Liam Coen makes the overall offense for the Jaguars better, and Etienne is a beneficiary of that. Last week, Bhayshul Tuten failed to make an impact which leaves the backfield to Etienne. The Cincinnati Bengals are a tougher opponent, but in facing Cleveland last week, they weren’t really tested either. This is a manageable number for Etienne.
