Falcons vs Packers Player Props: Best Bets and Predictions
Thursday Night Football in Week 3 gives us our first questionable matchup of the season: Atlanta Falcon vs Green Bay Packers (-5.5) with the total sitting at 43.5. The headline of the game is the return of Falcons QB Michael Penix, who will be back under center for the first time since November 16, 2025, when he suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Drake London and Kyle Pitts could not be happier after struggling mightily through the first two weeks, mustering only 16 points in an 0-2 start. On the Packers' side of the ball, they squeaked out an OT win against the New York Jets in Week 2. Fans and bettors alike are still trying to get a read on this season's Packers team sitting at 1-1. Packers HC Matt LaFleur is currently the favorite to be the first coach fired this NFL season. Let's get into my best Falcons vs Packers player prop bets for TNF, while you can find out our expert NFL picks for every Week 3 game and every matchup throughout the entire 2026 season.
Best Falcons vs Packers Player Prop Bet: Drake London (ATL) Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+220)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing. 0.75u
In 14 games with Michael Penix under center, Drake London has put up 91 receptions, 1,286 yards and nine touchdowns! I do not believe anyone is as excited for Penix's return as London is. Last week against the Jets, the Packers' secondary allowed Garrett Wilson to score with a five-yard reception in the red zone, while New York's top two wide receivers combined for 12 receptions, 120 yards and a TD. This is a great number for London, assuming he falls back into a rhythm with Penix.

Falcons vs Packers Player Prop Pick: Tucker Kraft (GB) 5+ Receptions (+140)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing. 0.75u
Tucker Kraft entered the 2026 season hobbled, recovering from a torn ACL injury, and we were told his snap count would be managed to start the season. In Week 1, Kraft played 66% of the snaps. However, that was followed up in Week 2 with 98% of snaps against the Jets. A large part of that was due to the deficiencies across the Green Bay offensive line, where Kraft was needed to stay in line and block.
This week, his receptions line is heavily juiced (~-150) at 3.5 receptions. I'm not the biggest fan of risking 1u to win 0.6u, and if you believe that Kraft will continue this sized snap count, the next logical step is to play his alt-line at a slightly lower risk. TEs have had success this season against the Falcons, allowing the 3rd-most fantasy points in two weeks. I'm banking on Kraft stepping up this week and getting a ton of early looks, allowing him to make plays with his legs; especially with WR Jayden Reed now gone with injury.
Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are quietly making a name for themselves, but I'm pivoting to Kraft operating underneath on Thursday Night Football.
