Best Prop Bets for NFL Week 10: Diontae Johnson Will Torch Lions Secondary

As we stare at the NFL Week 10 board and ponder what teams we'll be backing with our money, it's important not to forget that player props exist.

Sometimes, if you have your finger on the pulse of a game, player props can be easier bets to cash than spreads and over/unders. It's not even that rare for a bet to cash before the halftime whistle blows.

If you're looking for a few player props to bet on for today's slate of games, here are a few of my favorites. All odds are via WynnBET Sportsbook.

Best Player Props for NFL Week 10

• Josh Allen OVER 285.5 Passing Yards
• Dalvin Cook OVER 91.5 Rushing Yards
• Jonathan Taylor UNDER 92.5 Rushing Yards
• Diontae Johnson OVER 74.5 Receiving Yards
• Patrick Mahomes UNDER 287.5 Passing Yards

Josh Allen OVER 285.5 Passing Yards -125

If you're a believer in the "bounce back spot", then you're going to want to bet on Josh Allen's pass yards to surpass 285.5 yards. The New York Jets have allowed nine yards per pass attempt and 317.3 passing yards per game over their last three contests, which is dead last in the NFL by a mile.

If the Bills come out hot after last week's disappointing loss to the Jaguars, look for Allen to torch this Jets secondary.

Dalvin Cook OVER 91.5 Rushing Yards -125

This one is pretty straight forward and obvious. The Chargers are the worst rush defense in the NFL, allowing opposing teams to average five yards per carry against them. The Vikings path to victory is handing the ball off to Dalvin Cook and let him slice through this soft Los Angeles defense.

Jonathan Taylor UNDER 92.5 Rushing Yards -115

You might be surprised to find out that the Jaguars actually have one of the best rush defenses in the NFL. They allow opposing teams to only get 3.8 yards per carry on the ground against them, which is the third best mark in the league.

If the Colts are going to dismantle the Jaguars like they're expected to, expect the bulk of their yardage to come through the air.

Diontae Johnson OVER 74.5 Receiving Yards -125

Much like the Jaguars, the Lions run defense is solid but their secondary is painful to watch. They're allowing 8.8 yards per pass attempt this NFL season, which is last in the NFL by 0.9 yards. The Steelers best path to victory is by throwing the ball, and with Chase Claypool out of the lineup, Diontae Johnson will be the main to target on Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes UNDER 287.5 Passing yards -115

It's time to accept that this isn't the Chiefs offense of old. Over their last three games this season, they're averaging just 5.4 yards per pass attempt. That's second last in the entire NFL. Yes, those numbers are real. Now they're facing a Raiders defense that is allowing the second fewest yards per pass attempt at 5.9.

Finally, Mahomes has only surpassed this number three times this season. I don't expect him to get it done through the air on Sunday night.
