Don’t look now, but NFL Week 2 is already nearly here with kickoff of Thursday Night Football. We see commercials for TNF as early as halftime of early Sunday games, but a quick reminder - we have an AFC rivalry between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.

To help you cover the game from all angles, we’ve shared our best NFL TNF player prop picks with you. Better yet, we’ve also got a guaranteed DraftKings Sportsbook welcome offer worth over $250 guaranteed to go along with our Bills vs. Dolphins player props! 

 

 

 

Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks

For NFL TNF player prop picks this week, we have to look back at how the Bills and Dolphins performed on Sunday. Given how both teams looked, just a single word could be used to describe them both - inconsistent.

From a betting perspective, the word untrustworthy could also be used. Buffalo and Miami both fell behind early, looking rough in the process. Despite that, they both came away with victories. They’re expected to be the ones battling it out for the AFC East crown again this year, but such untrustworthiness is why we’re preferring to focus on NFL TNF player prop picks in case you’d rather not sweat out a pick on a winner.

 

 

 

Bills vs. Dolphins Player Props: Jaylen Waddle Over 63.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at DraftKings)

Before the Sunday slate even kicked off, the Dolphins were in the headlines with breaking news. As you’ve likely heard even more than you’d think, superstar WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over and detained.

Much has been made of that story, but at the end of the day, he was still on the field and torched the Jacksonville Jaguars secondary to the tune of seven receptions, 130 yards and touchdown. While it has been Hill in the headlines, it has put fellow WR Jaylen Waddle in the shadows.

That is perfectly fine with us, as it provides more value for our NFL TNF player prop picks. Even with Hill going off for the numbers above, Waddle was still among the best pass catchers of Week 1, going for 109 yards himself. There were questions about nursing an injury ahead of Sunday, but those were clearly put to bed.

Now, he gets to face a Bills secondary that is a shell - if that - of what it was last season. Not only did they lose the safety duo of Jordan Poyer (now in Miami) and Micah Hyde, but they also lost CB Tre’Davious White. That’s why we saw the lowly Arizona Cardinals go up 17-3 on the Bills and ultimately, score 28 points.

Therefore, we expect Waddle to continue exploiting those woes, making the first of our NFL TNF player prop picks on Jaylen Waddle over 63.5 receiving yards (-115 at DraftKings Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Bills vs. Dolphins Player Prop Bets: Jordan Poyer Over 6.5 Tackles + Assists (-145 at DraftKings)

As for the second of our NFL TNF player prop picks, we’re staying on the Miami side of the matchup, but on the other side of the ball. We mentioned that Poyer left Buffalo for South Beach this offseason, and he is our target.

He’s still among the best safeties in the NFL, and this is an early revenge game for him. Poyer racked up 101 tackles last season, which was the fourth of his career with 100+, and he’s had multiple with over 90 tackles as well. A matchup against Buffalo is a perfect one for him to get himself on a trajectory for another such season.

As many fans have realized about the Bills since drafting QB Josh Allen, a stable RB is one of their least important concerns. They may have tried to change that with their addition of RB James Cook, but Allen is still their most dangerous runner.

Regardless, the desire to throw the ball means more tackling opportunities for Poyer. Similarly, when Allen runs, it’s when he sees a lane through the first layers of defense. Once again, that leads directly to Poyer. We saw Cardinals safety Budda Baker record 10 tackles on Sunday, so we’re going to add to our NFL TNF player prop picks with Jordan Poyer over 6.5 tackles and assists (-145 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
