Falcons vs Saints Player Props: 3 Best Monday Night Football Picks

Monday Night Football brings an NFC South matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints at 8:15 PM EST. Both teams enter at 1-2, and the KofSports Player Prop Trends board has given us three receiving-yard angles we want to attack: Chris Olave Over 85.5, Juwan Johnson Over 40.5, and Kyle Pitts Under 28.5.

The Saints passing game gives us two strong Over trends, while Pitts sits on the opposite end of the spectrum after failing to clear his current number in all three games this season. Here is how we're playing the Monday night prop board.

1. Chris Olave OVER 85.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Olave's recent production jumps off the KofSports board. He has cleared 85.5 receiving yards in all three games this season and in each of his last 5 games, with recent results of 107, 86, 182, 119, and 148 yards. The longer sample is still solid at 6-for-10, although he was held below this number in his lone recent meeting with Atlanta.

The current-season volume supports the trend. Olave has 27 catches on 36 targets for 375 yards through three games, an average of 125 receiving yards per game. Atlanta has allowed 263 passing yards per game through three weeks, ranking near the bottom of the league against the pass. With Olave commanding 12 targets per game, we're backing the volume and taking Over 85.5 receiving yards at -111.

2. Juwan Johnson OVER 40.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Johnson has the cleanest trend profile of our three picks. At the 40.5-yard threshold shown on DraftKings, he is 3-for-3 this season, 5-for-5 over his last 5, 7-for-10 over his last 10, and 2-for-2 in the KofSports sample against Atlanta. His 5 most recent results are 53, 66, 54, 61, and 95 receiving yards.

This isn't just a historical trend. Johnson has 15 receptions on 19 targets for 173 yards and three touchdowns through 3 games, averaging 57.7 receiving yards. With New Orleans throwing at high volume and Atlanta vulnerable through the air, 41 yards is a reasonable number for a player who has consistently held a meaningful role in this passing attack. DraftKings: Over 40.5 receiving yards (-114).

3. Kyle Pitts UNDER 28.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Pitts gives us the fade. He has failed to reach 29 receiving yards in all 3 games this season and in 4 of his last 5, producing just 5, 15, 0, 58, and 16 yards in the five-game sample shown by KofSports. He is also only 5-for-10 to the Over across his last 10 and 1-for-2 against New Orleans at this threshold.

Through 3 games, Pitts has only 2 catches on 6 targets for 20 receiving yards. He caught one pass for 5 yards on 2 targets against Green Bay last week. New Orleans has been middle of the pack against the pass, but this play is driven primarily by Pitts' current role and lack of volume. Until Atlanta gives him substantially more opportunities, 28.5 is high enough for us to play the Under at -111.

KofSports Falcons vs Saints Player Prop Picks

Our Monday Night Football card is Chris Olave Over 85.5 receiving yards (-111), Juwan Johnson Over 40.5 receiving yards (-114) and Kyle Pitts Under 28.5 receiving yards (-111). Johnson owns the strongest all-around hit-rate profile, Olave combines elite early-season volume with a favorable pass-defense matchup, and Pitts gives us a chance to fade a player who has not come close to this number through three games.

Final Thoughts

Perfect three-game hit rates are useful signals, but they are still small samples. That's why Olave and Johnson stand out: the early-season results are backed by substantial target volume and receiving production. Pitts is the inverse, with both his results and opportunity pointing toward the Under. Recheck all three DraftKings lines before kickoff because player-prop numbers and prices can move throughout Monday.
