NFL Player Props Today: 4 Best Bets for Week 2

Four NFL Week 2 player props backed by KofSports trend data, including Derrick Henry, Chris Olave, Kenneth Walker III and Mack Hollins.

NFL Week 2 player props preview featuring Derrick Henry and Chris Olave with four KofSports best bets teased using player prop data and trends.

NFL Week 2 brings another full slate of player prop markets, and we're using the KofSports Player Prop Trends tool to identify four numbers that stand out. The goal isn't simply to chase last week's box scores. We're looking for a combination of recent hit rates, current roles, matchup context and a line that gives the trend room to continue.

The odds and lines below reflect the DraftKings snapshot used for our research and can move before kickoff. Always compare the current market before placing a wager.

1. Derrick Henry OVER 87.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Henry's rushing trend is the strongest of the four props on our board. He has cleared 87.5 yards in each of his last 5 games and 7 of his last 10, with recent rushing totals of 144, 126, 216, 128 and 100 yards all beating this number. He opened 2026 with 144 rushing yards and three touchdowns against Indianapolis. New Orleans now visits Baltimore and the combination of Henry's recent workload and Baltimore's ability to play from ahead makes the over worth backing at this snapshot number. It’s also worth noting the Saints were the 4th worst defense vs runningbacks in Week 1 (check out our Defense vs Position tool for more stats like that).

2. Kenneth Walker III OVER 78.5 Rushing Yards (-112)

Walker wasted no time making an impact in Kansas City, erupting for 173 rushing yards in Week 1. The KofSports trend card shows him over this 78.5-yard threshold in four of his last 5 games, with other recent performances of 135, 116, 97 and 100 yards. The longer 10-game sample is more balanced at 5-of-10, so this is primarily a bet on his current role and form after the Chiefs leaned heavily on their new back in the opener.

3. Chris Olave OVER 72.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Olave is coming off a massive Week 1 in which he caught 10 passes on 13 targets for 182 yards. He has gone over 72.5 receiving yards in 4 of his last 5 games, with recent totals of 182, 119, 148 and 85 among the wins. Baltimore allowed 304 passing yards in its opener, giving the Saints a reason to continue feeding their top receiver. There is one important variable to monitor: Olave was limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring issue. This over is contingent on him entering Sunday without a meaningful workload restriction.

4. Mack Hollins OVER 35.5 Receiving Yards (-109)

Hollins gives us the lowest yardage threshold of the group. He has topped 35.5 receiving yards in 5 straight games and 7 of his last 10, including recent totals of 51, 78, 51, 69 and 41. He produced 51 yards in Week 1, and New England enters Week 2 without A.J. Brown, creating additional opportunity in the Patriots' receiving rotation. At only 35.5 yards, Hollins doesn't need a huge game for the recent trend to cash again.

Final Thoughts

Henry and Hollins bring the strongest five-game hit rates to this card, while Walker's new role in Kansas City and Olave's Week 1 volume give us two additional angles. Olave's hamstring status deserves another check before kickoff and every prop should be rechecked against the live market because NFL lines can move quickly throughout the weekend.
