NFL Week 8 Player Props: Best Bets for Sunday's Games
Week 8 Sunday has tons in store. Though we won't be getting a 9:30 E.T. International game, the 1:00 E.T. slate is loaded with Ravens-Bills, featuring the return of Lamar Jackson; the 6-0 Vikings on the road versus the Lions; and both 5-2 Browns-Steelers. After a 3-0 sweep last Sunday, let's see if we can stay hot. Make sure you check out our NFL predictions on the side and totals for every NFL Week 8 game and every matchup throughout the entire season. But for now, let's break down our best NFL Week 8 player prop bets for Sunday's games.

NFL Week 8 Player Prop: Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) Over 28.5 receiving yards (-108)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I wouldn't be surprised if this game were circled on Jayhmr Gibbs schedule from last season. In 2 divisional games versus the Vikings, Gibbs totaled just 5 catches for 28 yards. The Vikings defense will again blitz the house versus Jared Goff. That left Gibbs to pass-block more than expected last season, but don't be surprised if Gibbs lines up as a wide receiver to get more involved on Sunday - Especially if the run game struggles against a stout Vikings rush defense.
NFL Week 8 Player Prop: Garrett Wilson (NYJ) To Score a Touchdown (+200)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We're skipping the reception and receiving lines for Garrett Wilson and backing him to score a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wilson has been the talk of trade discussions, but it's very unlikely the star receiver gets moved. Wilson and Geno Smith had it out for each other last on the sidelines, after Wilson finished with just 26 yards on 2 catches. But moving ahead to Week 8, Wilson ranks in the top 20 in target share - Even with just a 10% team target share last week. If we're reading into the narrative that Wilson is unhappy about not getting the ball, there's no better week to back him, with a Jets implied team total of 23 and Breece Hall's status still in question.
NFL Week 8 Player Prop: Blake Corum (LAR) Over 10.5 rushing attempts (+103)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Last week in the Rams' win versus the Raiders, the duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum took over. The two combined for 33 carries for 202 yards - nearly both backs surpassing 100 yards. Williams boosted his numbers on the final drive, while Corum was getting most of the work with the game still in hand. The more of the same is likely in store versus the Chargers as 6.5-point favorites and receiving threats on the shelf for the Rams.
Caesars and BetMGM are offering Corum 11+ carries at plus-money, while FanDuel is priced down to -122, so take advantage of the gift on other major books.
