We’ve got an NFC showdown on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 8 of the NFL season with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Minnesota Vikings. With two teams on seemingly opposite trajectories, we know that plenty of fans will be looking for NFL TNF player prop picks instead of traditional markets. 

That’s why we’re here to share our best Vikings vs. Rams player props for you, which will be alongside a guaranteed $200 DraftKings Sportsbook sign up bonus!

 

 

 

Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks

Placing the best NFL TNF player prop picks always brings that extra variable of teams having fewer days to prepare, especially when there are key players to monitor in terms of injuries. That is particularly true of the Rams side of this matchup, as their WR duo of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua have been out for weeks.

However, Kupp is expected to make his return. Nacua is eligible to come off of Injured Reserve but is much more in doubt. As for the Vikings, we saw RB Aaron Jones, who was their biggest concern, not only play this past Sunday but play well. We aren’t featuring the former Packer in our NFL TNF player prop picks, but we do have a theme for you.

We’re going to be targeting our Vikings vs. Rams player props on pass catchers finding the endzone for some great value.

 

 

 

Vikings vs. Rams Player Props: Cooper Kupp Anytime TD Scorer (+115 at DraftKings)

With Kupp expected to make his return on Thursday night, how could we not start with him for our NFL TNF player prop picks? After all, he’s a former Super Bowl MVP, which is impressive enough given that he’s not a QB.

Of course, it’s been a few years since then, but we’re exploiting the Vikings passing defense while buying into the uncanny connection that Kupp has with Rams QB Matthew Stafford. Starting with the former, Minnesota has allowed the third-most passing yards per game this season.

Given that fact, one of our best NFL player props for the entire Week 7 slate was Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff going over his passing yards prop against the Vikes, which he easily did despite only needing 22 completions. 

Allowing so much air yardage is primarily due to teams needing to play catch-up against the Vikings, which is the exact spot LA may find themselves in. On top of all that, Minnesota has allowed 10 passing touchdowns this season, which is tied with a handful of other teams for the sixth-most.

With the spotlight on his return, we’re starting our NFL TNF player prop picks with Cooper Kupp to score an anytime touchdown (+115 at DraftKings Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Vikings vs. Rams Player Prop Bets: Justin Jefferson Anytime TD Scorer (-125 at DraftKings)

That’s right - another passing touchdown is in order for our Vikings vs. Rams player props. It may not bring the most variety, but when it comes to JJ, it’s difficult to doubt the LSU product.

His connection with QB Sam Darnold may not be as notable as Stafford’s to Kupp, but in their first season together, it has been remarkable. Jefferson has scored a touchdown in every single game this season except for one! Admittedly, the Rams haven’t allowed as much yardage through the air, but they allow just as many touchdowns.

Like the Vikings, they too have allowed 10 passing touchdowns, and that’s with their opposition usually having a lead late in games and running the ball to grind out the clock. So, on paper, the trends may not jump out at you, but as for Jefferson, they absolutely do.

Not only has he scored in all but one game this season, but he’s received at least eight targets in every game following Week 2. Darnold knows that he can rely on him to be a security blanket, so we’re adding Justin Jefferson to be an anytime TD scorer (-125 at DraftKings Sportsbook). to our NFL TNF player prop picks as well.
