10 season-long player props to take before Week 1

It's officially Week 1 as the Eagles and Cowboys kick off the season Thursday night.

But first, we still have 10 more season-long wagers to round out our futures portfolio. We covered the MVP, Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and win totals betting markets throughout the preseason. Here are our final futures wagers of the year.

Jalen Hurts: Over 575.5 rushing yards

This is a bizarrely low line given Hurts has surpassed 600 rushing yards in the last four seasons. He's a dual-threat quarterback behind the Eagles' elite offensive line. Saquon Barkley assumes the rushing load, but the threat of Barkley's presence allows Hurts to break free on the ground. - Oshtry

Trevor Lawrence: Over 3,500.5 passing yards

Lawrence threw for 3,600 or more yards in each of his first three seasons (over 4,000 twice) before only playing 10 games last season. Now he gets what's perceived as a huge coaching upgrade in Liam Coen, a second year with receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and Travis Hunter injected into the offense.

As the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator last year, Coen guided Baker Mayfield to a 4,500-yard season. It's reasonable to expect Lawrence to have a great year if he can stay healthy. Even if he has an average campaign, 3,500 passing yards is more than achievable. - Patterson

Bo Nix: Over 3,350.5 passing yards

Nix threw for 3,775 yards last season. He tossed the sixth-most pass attempts in the NFL, but his yards per attempt didn't rank in the top 20. Although the Broncos quarterback delivered the ball quickly and efficiently, he didn't throw downfield much. While many expect a sophomore slump for Nix, I believe he'll build on his successful rookie season, and Sean Payton will give him more opportunities to take chances downfield. - Oshtry

Omarion Hampton: Over 6.5 rushing touchdowns

The Chargers took Hampton with the 22nd pick in the 2025 draft, a clear indication they believe he can be a workhorse back in Jim Harbaugh's offense. Yes, the Chargers brought in Najee Harris in the offseason, but he has yet to participate in team drills after sustaining an eye injury July 4, and his status for Week 1 remains in doubt. Even if Harris were completely healthy, there's a good chance Hampton would outperform him and handle the bulk of the Chargers' carries.

J.K. Dobbins punched it in nine times in 13 games last year for the Chargers. If Hampton can earn 50% of the goal-line carries and play a full slate of games, he should have no problem scoring seven or more touchdowns on the ground. - Patterson

CeeDee Lamb: Over 6.5 receiving touchdowns

Lamb was a target of mine before the Cowboys traded away Micah Parsons, and now that Dallas' defense projects to be much worse, I love this bet even more.

The Cowboys will need to throw the ball at a higher rate than normal to score points and keep up with opposing teams. They ranked third in pass attempts last season and were eighth the season prior. Dallas was inefficient on the ground last season and didn't make any moves that suggest their rushing attack will improve. That leaves the door wide open for Lamb to be heavily targeted and likely score seven or more touchdowns, something he's done two of the past three seasons. - Patterson

Malik Nabers: Over 1,050 receiving yards

Nabers soared past this number as a rookie despite only playing 15 games and dealing with incompetent quarterback play. He accumulated 1,204 receiving yards (seventh in the league), had 109 receptions (fifth), and 170 targets (second). That was with Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito delivering him passes. There's still uncertainty at quarterback, but Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart are all upgrades. The Giants will force-feed their star wideout frequently. It's hard to imagine him not eclipsing this total. - Oshtry

George Pickens: Over 4.5 receiving touchdowns

The reasons we like Lamb also apply to Pickens, the Cowboys' new wide receiver. The former Steeler should be Dak Prescott's go-to option in the red zone for a team that doesn't have a true goal-line back.

Prescott's passing touchdown total is set at 24.5, the seventh highest of all quarterbacks, with the over paying -140. His targets should be condensed to Lamb, Pickens, and tight end Jake Ferguson. There's no reason to think that both Lamb and Pickens can't go over their touchdown props. - Patterson

Marvin Harrison Jr.: Over 900.5 receiving yards

Harrison didn't come close to meeting expectations as a highly touted rookie receiver, but his disappointing campaign still netted 885 receiving yards for the Cardinals. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing will get Harrison even more involved in the wideout's second season, increasing his targets and receptions. Kyler Murray and Harrison should also improve their chemistry. - Oshtry

Tyler Warren: Over 575.5 receiving yards

Brock Bowers is a good example of what a star rookie tight end can do with bad quarterback play: He had 1,194 receiving yards as a rookie. Warren isn't Bowers, but the 14th overall pick can be a game-changer for Daniel Jones and the Colts' offense, and they should target him often. - Oshtry

Travis Kelce: Over 650.5 receiving yards

Kelce's got a lot going on off the field, but he recently acknowledged that his focus shifted back to football this offseason in a way it hadn't in previous years. His decline is mostly due to his age - he's a soon-to-be 36-year-old tight end. For all his struggles, he's still reached at least 800 receiving yards every season. His career low in receiving yards came in 2024 (823 yards). Oddsmakers expect major regression from Kelce, but this is a wildly low total, especially given how badly the Chiefs need his pass-catching production with Rashee Rice suspended for the first six games. - Oshtry
