Week 2 NFL Player Props (FanDuel Sportsbook)
RJ Harvey Over 29.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
If we are going to hunt the over on RJ Harvey’s rushing yards prop, it would be nice to see him carry the ball more than six times. While the Denver Broncos did work the rookie into the action in Week 1, he was clearly behind JK Dobbins. As the game progressed, it was Dobbins who Denver leaned on. Ultimately, the veteran eclipsed the rookie in touches by a margin of 18 to seven.
Within those touches, though, Harvey made a real impact. The rookie ripped off an explosive 50-yard run, which backs up the optimism he’s generated. In his other five carries, Harvey picked up 20 yards.
Dobbins, on the other hand, gained 63 yards on 16 carries in a less-than-efficient outing. The veteran will continue to be a factor, but Harvey’s role should increase. However, based on this number, though, Harvey really just needs one carry to break this mark.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 68.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
After Week 1, it’s safe to say that there’s a real chemistry between Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. At the very least, the two connected early and often by default. If you exclude Smith-Njigba’s 124 receiving yards from Week 1, we’re left with just 26 passing yards from Darnold.
In order for the Seattle Seahawks to be competitive this week in Pittsburgh against the Steelers, they’re going to have to move the ball through the air. Even if Seattle had other receivers of note, or that Darnold was comfortable with, Smith-Njigba would still have a large role. After all, last year, and in a more crowded receiver room, Smith-Njigba finished with 1,130 receiving yards.
Last season, beginning in Week 8 and through Week 16, Smith-Njigba consistently surpassed this week’s yardage target. The Steelers’ secondary has some health issues, as they didn’t exactly shut down the Jets last week. It might be a sweat, but as we get into the fourth quarter, this is a reasonable mark for Smith-Njigba to reach. It certainly helps that he’s the clear number one receiving option. The good news is that it didn’t hold him back last week.

Bijan Robinson Over 95.5 Combined Rushing & Receiving Yards (-114)
The concerns we previously had no longer seem valid with Bijan Robinson. It’s clear that the Atlanta Falcons know what they have, and they’re not afraid to utilize him.
Robinson is explosive and capable both as a rusher and receiver, and that truly matters here. Last week, he was a non-factor on the ground. In 12 carries, he managed just 24 yards as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shut him down with ease. Robinson’s opponent this week, the Minnesota Vikings, allowed 119 yards on the ground in Week 1. We also know that Robinson is capable of doing some serious damage after rushing for 1,456 yards last year.
Even with Robinson finding no room to run last week, he still would have surpassed this mark with ease. Robinson caught six of his seven targets for 100 yards, which was a large part of the game. After catching 61 passes for 431 receiving yards last year, the skill set is there.
