I don't want to jinx it, but we put together another solid week of player props, winning four out of five in Week 4. We also nailed a couple of anytime touchdown scorers. There are thousands of props to sift through each Sunday. Instead of spending your morning scrolling, let us do the work for you and provide winning wagers. Here's what we got for Week 5.

🏈 Bet: Under 66.5 rushing yards

Mason recorded fewer than 66 rushing yards in two of the last three weeks. As much as the Vikings might want to take the ball out of Carson Wentz's hands, the Browns aren't the defense to do that against. Cleveland has allowed the fewest rushing yards and the fewest total yards per game this season.

🏈 Bet: Over 212.5 passing yards

Stroud has been anything but elite this campaign, but he made strides as a passer against a porous Titans defense last week, throwing for 233 yards. Luckily for Stroud and the Texans, they're facing another awful defense Sunday. The Ravens have allowed the second-most passing yards per game and have key defensive players dealing with injuries.

🏈 Bet: Over 59.5 receiving yards

This isn't the first season the Eagles have dealt with Brown's public frustrations with the offense. You might recall Brown criticizing the passing after a game against the Panthers last December, when he had only four catches for 43 yards. Brandon Graham ignited the flames even further when he commented on Jalen Hurts and Brown's relationship. Like Philly now, all that drama occurred amid an impressive winning streak.

How did the Eagles respond the following week last year? By throwing Brown the ball early and often. He had eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards. Philadelphia will scheme to get Brown open against the Broncos, emphasizing that he gets touches. Prioritizing his involvement not only appeases their diva wideout's frustrations, but letting him make plays helps an inconsistent offense thrive.

🏈 Bet: Over 69.5 rushing yards

Williams has eclipsed 70 rushing yards in each of the last three games, averaging 86 yards during that span. While Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP level, the Cowboys still feed Williams consistently. The Jets' defense is undisciplined and has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per contest, creating an opportunity for another big Williams outing.

🏈 Bet: Over 69.5 receiving yards

St. Brown has surpassed 69 receiving yards in three straight weeks. Oddsmakers think his production could decrease with the Lions expected to dominate as 10.5-point favorites, and thus throw the ball less. But the Bengals' defense is so atrocious that St. Brown should accumulate enough yards early in the contest. Cincy has allowed 397 yards per game, the third-most in the NFL, and 262 passing yards per game, also third-most. There will be plenty of opportunities for Jared Goff to find his favorite weapon.

NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD scorer (+115)

Yes, the Browns are starting Dillon Gabriel against a stout Vikings defense, but these odds are too good to pass up. Judkins has been a workhorse over his last two games, racking up touchdowns in both contests with a combined 44 touches. His playing time has increased in every contest he's played this season, and that's expected to continue Sunday morning in London.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD scorer (+155)

Dallas boasts the worst pass defense in the league through four weeks, allowing 297.3 yards through the air per game, about 32 yards more than the 31st-ranked Ravens. The Cowboys' nine touchdowns surrendered to opposing wide receivers are also the most allowed in the NFL, giving Wilson a great matchup. The 25-year-old has 38 targets and three scores this year. The next highest-targeted wideout on the Jets' roster is Tyler Johnson, with six.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD scorer (+185)

Olave has been Rattler's top target this season, and the former first-round pick secured his first touchdown in Week 4. These are great odds against a New York Giants defense that wide receivers have tormented through four contests. Shane Bowen's unit has allowed the most targets and the second-most receiving yards to opposing wideouts in 2025.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD scorer (+210)

We'll be looking to attack the Bengals' defense going forward, and LaPorta at +210 odds is worth the swing. Cincinnati has struggled against tight ends this campaign, allowing the most targets to the position to start the year. Detroit is a massive favorite in this contest and should light up the scoreboard.

🙌 Bet: Anytime TD scorer (+360)

Our long shot of the week goes to Wilson, who has carved out significant playing time on Arizona's offense. The veteran was on the field for 97% of the offensive snaps in Week 4 and has scored a touchdown this season. Tennessee ranks 24th in targets and 27th in receiving yards surrendered to opposing wide receivers this year.
