Here are some of the standout bets recommended by PFF analysts for Week 3:
George Pickens, playing for the Dallas Cowboys, is projected to have over 3.5 receptions (-135 DraftKings). Having already surpassed this figure once in the first two weeks and coming off a nine-target performance against the Giants, Pickens is set to face a Bears secondary that ranks as the second-worst in PFF coverage grade. With top corner Jaylon Johnson sidelined, this presents a prime opportunity for Pickens to achieve another strong reception tally.
Bijan Robinson has made significant strides in Atlanta’s passing game this season, consistently surpassing 22.5 receiving yards (-110 BetMGM) in each of his initial games. He faces a Carolina Panthers linebacker corps that has struggled, earning a dismal 31.9 coverage grade. This favorable matchup bodes well for Robinson's continued success.
Jahmyr Gibbs of the Detroit Lions is targeted for over 3.5 receptions (-110 BetMGM). The Baltimore Ravens have allowed a staggering 17 receptions to running backs, tying for the most in the league. With Gibbs already securing 13 targets this season—third-most among running backs—his opportunities to shine in the passing game appear promising, especially as the Lions enter as underdogs.
Dak Prescott is anticipated to exceed 259.5 passing yards (-112 DraftKings). Prescott has delivered an impressive start, achieving the second-highest PFF passing grade (88.0) following a 361-yard performance in Week 2. Facing a depleted Bears secondary that ranks last in PFF coverage grade and recently allowed five touchdowns to Jared Goff, Prescott's chances for another big game look bright.
Tony Pollard is projected to go under 2.5 receptions (-150 BetMGM). Pollard has not recorded three or more receptions in a game since Week 13 of last season, and his role in the passing game remains limited. With the Indianapolis Colts allowing only eight catches to running backs thus far, it seems unlikely that Pollard will break this trend in the upcoming matchup.
Rashod Bateman might find himself under 37.5 receiving yards (-115 BetMGM) this week. Despite the potential for a high-scoring game that could lead to increased passing volume for Lamar Jackson, Bateman has been targeted infrequently in man coverage. His deep-threat capabilities are evident, but against a defense that plays a high percentage of man coverage, his overall production may be limited.
For those looking to make informed betting decisions, utilizing the PFF Player Prop Tool can provide the edge you need in this competitive landscape. Stay ahead of the game and make your picks with confidence this NFL season!
