NFL Week 3 On the Mark: Elite Fantasy Football Prop Bets
Dive into NFL Week 3 elite fantasy football prop bets with expert picks like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes for maximum value!
Written by former #1 Ranked Fantasy Player in the World, Mark Deming.
QB Lamar Jackson 3+ TD passes (+180)
The Monday Night Football matchup featuring the Lions and Ravens finds the highest listed point total for Week 3, at 53.5. Jackson enters the showdown fresh off a four-TD passing performance in the blowout win over Cleveland. The +180 alternative market is definitely within the star signal-caller’s range, and this game has the potential for a primetime shootout. Jackson has thrown 3+ passing touchdowns in 26 games in his career, 14 of which have taken place at home.
The Lions have surrendered two TD passes to opposing QBs in each of their first two games, and I anticipate Jackson being locked in for this primetime matchup.
QB Patrick Mahomes 40+ Rushing Yards (+189)
Week 3 shockingly brings about a must-win situation for the struggling 0-2 Chiefs. Due to the ongoing suspension of star wide receiver Rashee Rice, Mahomes has been scrambling more frequently than usual. Through the first two games, Mahomes has racked up 123 rushing yards. The three-time Super Bowl MVP is the type of leader who puts everything on the line to secure a Chiefs victory. Since entering the league in 2017, the league’s most dangerous signal-caller has reached this plateau in 20 career games, including the postseason.
After surpassing this demand in both games this season, let’s invest in Mahomes eclipsing the 40-yard mark for a third consecutive matchup.
RB Jahmyr Gibbs 5+ Receptions (+173)
Gibbs’ involvement in Detroit’s passing game has been just what fantasy managers envisioned when they invested high draft capital to land the coveted running back in drafts this summer. Through the first two weeks, he has hauled in 13 receptions, highlighted by an eye-popping 10 receptions in Week 1 against the Packers. Detroit’s newly revamped offensive line could face tough sledding against a strong Ravens’ pass rush on Monday night, potentially forcing Goff into a healthy dose of check down passes to Gibbs out of the backfield.
Strategy Insight
This week’s installment of the “On the Mark” series focuses on three elite fantasy football talents, who can all exceed their base productions. While all three of these highlighted players will obviously be in all starting lineups, a round robin investment could also prove to be quite lucrative.
