Best NFL Week 2 Prop Bets: Justin Fields, Ryan Tannehill
Bears-Buccaneers Week 2 Player Prop
Justin Fields O/U 169.5 Passing Yards
This is about opportunity more than anything else. Chicago had a somewhat tight leash on Fields as far as passing attempts went last year. He didn’t have a single game with over 28 passing attempts. It looks like 2023 will present a different game plan. In a Week 1 loss, Fields threw the ball 37 times and finished with 216 passing yards. The Bears are road underdogs against the Buccaneers, opening the opportunity for Fields to get busy throwing the football again.

Chargers-Titans Week 2 Player Prop
Ryan Tannehill O/U 30.5 Passing Attempts
With DeAndre Hopkins missing practice all week because of an ankle injury, his status is in doubt for the Titans’ Week 2 matchup with the Chargers. Hopkins appears more likely to sit than play, which is a downgrade to Tannehill and the Tennessee passing game. If Hopkins sits, look for the Titans to prioritize running the football and building a game plan around Derrick Henry as a workhorse. Wait until there is an update on Hopkins before placing this bet.
Prop Bet: Ryan Tannehill Under 30.5 Passing Attempts -105 at BetMGM
Chiefs-Jaguars Week 2 Player Prop
Travis Kelce O/U 79.5 Passing Yards
The Chiefs’ passing game looked terrible in Week 1. Patrick Mahomes was a one-man offense, making every play possible but there wasn’t much he could do to get his receivers to catch the football. Kelce was out for the opener, a Thursday Night Football game against the Lions and Mahomes’ teammates let him down. Dropped passes by Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore sank Kansas City, increasing the urgency for Kelce to get back on the field. He is expected back for Week 2, which is a welcome sight for Mahomes. I am expecting a healthy dose of targets for the star tight end after the receiving corps looked incredibly unreliable last week with Kelce out.
