Each week of the 2021 NFL season, I will review every individual player prop available via our partners at Caesars Sportsbook and pick out my favorite plays. In Week 1, I went 5-6 with my selections. This week's best bets are listed below, in no particular order.
For thoughts on player-prop strategy, check out our recent staff roundtable on the topic.
Ryan Tannehill under 35.5 pass attempts (-125), under 258.5 pass yards (-115)
Tannehill is coming off a rough Week 1 in which he threw for 212 yards on 35 pass attempts against Arizona. He has now fallen short of 36 attempts in six consecutive games and 25 of 31 games (81%) since taking over as the Titans' starter in Week 7 of the 2019 season. Tannehill fell below 259 yards in 20 of those 31 games (65%), including 13 of 18 (72%) last season. Tennessee is an underdog at Seattle this week (which suggests more passing than usual is probable), but note that Tannehill fell short of both of these marks in five of the Titans' six losses last season. He averaged 30.3 attempts and 212.5 yards in those six games.
