NFL Week 6 Player Props: Best Bets for Sunday's Games
Week 6 calls for divisional showdowns, with 6 of the 12 games on Sunday inter-divisional. Action starts at 9:30 E.T., as the Jaguars will play their 2nd straight game in London against a Texans team that got their first win of the season last week. Bears-Falcons should be one of the better games on Sunday, which we'll start our player prop action with our top play.

NFL Week 6 Player Prop: Rome Odunze (CHI) over 41.5 receiving yards in Bears vs Falcons (-114)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The hopeful return of Caleb Williams should boost Rome Odunze on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Odunze is coming off playing 99% of the offensive snaps last week, reeling in 3 of 9 targets for 40 yards. We dove into how impressive the Falcons' rush defense was last week in our anytime touchdown story, but the pass game is where they can get exposed, and where I expect Caleb Williams to look, especially with Kyle Monangai already ruled out. Odunze's reception line is at 2.5 with vig on the over, so the books are expecting Odunze to be targeted deep down the field, which is in line with his 14 aDOT and team-leading 406 air yards.
NFL Week 6 Player Prop: Aaron Rodgers (PIT) under 34.5 pass attempts in Steelers vs Bucs (-123)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Steelers have finally enjoyed a sustainable rushing attack. Jaylen Warren is enjoying a top-10 running back start through 5 games, with 127, 93, and 101 yards in his last 3 games. He's relieved plenty of pressure off of almost 43-year-old Aaron Rodgers, along with the return of Rico Dowdle. Warren finding himself on the injury report on Friday is cause for concern, but as did DK Metcalf, so the Steelers may be thin at wide receiver with the uncertainty of Metcalf and Michael Pittman already being ruled out. We're going to fade Rodgers' pass attempts on Sunday, as the Steelers are road favorites against a Bucs team on extended rest.
NFL Week 6 Player Prop: Malik Nabers (NYG) over 70.5 receiving yards in Saints vs Giants (-115)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Malik Nabers finds himself in the top 10 amongst wide receivers in target share percentage with his 11 catches on 20 targets last Sunday in a tie versus the Commanders. It was his 2nd straight 100+ yard game, and he is slowly finding his footing with Jameis Winston. Over those two weeks, Nabers ranks 1st in routes run, 1st in targets, and 1st in receiving yards. Expect those numbers to continue against a Saints defense that has allowed big games to Justin Jefferson and Drake London the last two weeks.
