Dalvin Cook returns home to Miami while YAC king Deebo Samuel faces the Atlanta Falcons, and Eno Benjamin takes over the starting position in Arizona. Here are my favorite player prop picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
Quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater will both be out for the Miami Dolphins on Sunday when they host the Minnesota Vikings as 3.5-point home underdogs. Can former Kansas State Wildcat Skylar Thompson lead the Dolphins to victory in his first career start or, more importantly, will he be able to pass for more than 211.5 yards?
The following is my power ranking of my favorite player prop picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
It is sometimes difficult for numbers to capture every aspect of a player prop, and I believe that is the case here with Cook, who returns home to play his first NFL game in Miami. There is no doubt that Cook will be playing with extra motivation this week, and he should be operating from a positive game script as the Vikings are favored by 3.5-points to defeat the Thompson-led Dolphins. Based on the numbers, this prop is priced exactly where it should be, so there isn't really any statistical edge. Still, I am backing Cook, who has publicly expressed excitement about playing in his hometown.
