Best NFL Week 1 Prop Bets
Rushing Yards – Desmond Ridder over 23.5 rushing yards (-110) Bet365
Entering his second season, Ridder looks like a boom or bust player at quarterback for the Falcons. Ridder is an unknown overall but he is athletic and has a good ing cast around him. With skill position players like Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts in the offense, Ridder has the weapons around him to succeed.
Due to his athleticism, Ridder averaged 16 rushing yards per game last year. He also open the season with a good matchup against the Panthers.

Receiving Yards – Elijah Moore over 32.5 receiving yards (-115) BetMGM
A highly touted young receiver last year, Moore never really got a chance in Jets’ offense. Falling out of favor with the coaching staff, Moore was one of the biggest busts for fantasy players. Now in Cleveland, he’s getting a fresh start. Moore has the opportunity to bounce back in an offense that has a lot of upside on paper.
If Deshaun Watson can bounce back, the Browns’ offense may end up as one of the best in the NFL with weapons like Moore, Nick Chubb and Amari Cooper in the unit. This should help Moore to face some softer coverage this season and he figures to have infinite more opportunity than he received a year ago in New York.
