NFL betting analyst and 12-time daily fantasy sports live finalist Kristi Metzger (a.k.a. Krayton) takes a look at NFL player props this week and gives free picks!

It’s Week 2 and I have four player props that I am targeting once again. We started the first week out 2-2 overall, as we narrowly missed the Clyde Edwards-Helaire prop. CEH didn’t play much in the last quarter, since the Chiefs had such a huge lead, which cost us, but I actually have him targeted again this week along with three other bets.

Free Week 2 NFL Player Props Picks

Josh Palmer OVER 44.5 receiving yards

Looking at the Thursday night game, I really like Josh Palmer to get past the 46.5 receiving yards as he will be the WR replacement for Keenan Alle, after he filled in as the WR 2 last week after Keenan went down with his hamstring injury. This will be another game where Herbert and Mahomes will be throwing it a ton and I like Palmer to have a nice game here. It started at 43.5 and has moved a yard, but I still like this prop as Palmer will get some great opportunities in this game.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire OVER 15.5 receiving yards

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is once again a target of mine on Thursday night as I really like the over on 15.5 receiving yards for him. Last week CEH had 3 receptions on 3 targets for 32 yards. He is splitting some of the passing work with Jerick McKinnon, but I actually like both as good props, but I prefer CEH to easily get to 15.5 receiving yards in another KC game with a very high total on Thursday night. The Chiefs can score in a variety of ways and CEH had two quick touchdowns and didn’t play much in the last quarter due to the large lead they had. He could have had even bigger numbers, so this is one of my favorite prop bets this week.

Saquon Barkley OVER 74.5 rushing yards

Saquon looked great last week with 164 yards on 18 rushing attempts. He did have a long run in there for 68 yards, but taking that out he still was just under 100 yards of rushing on the day. The BLITZ has him projected for 83 rushing yards and 19.4 rushing attempts, so I really like the over on Barkley this week.

Damien Harris UNDER 54.5 rushing yards

The BLITZ has Harris projected for just 11 carries and 51 yards this week and with New England, Rhamondre Stevenson is also in the mix and projected to get 10 carries. Last week Harris rushed just 9 times for just 48 yards. I will continue to take the under on Harris this week as NE struggled with the run Week 1 against Miami and I see them struggling against Pittsburgh this week.
