ThriveFantasy NFL Player Props Week 1
Dating back to 2019, Mahomes averages nearly 308 passing yards per game in contests where the over/under is at least 52 points. Many markets have this game in the 52-54 window, and this game figures to be one of the shootouts in this Week 1 slate.
After the trade of Tyreek Hill'this offseason, don't you think that Mahomes and Co. want to silence all the haters that have been saying that this offense is doomed with the loss of Hill? Don't you think the Chiefs want to showcase their new receivers (Marques Valdes-Scantling,'JuJu Smith-Schuster,'Skyy Moore) in a big way in the team's season opener? I do, and Mahomes should clear this mark with ease in what should be a high-scoring affair. Get your 100 points here with the over.
