If you managed to bet a crazy player prop like Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey scoring three touchdowns last week, then your aggressive bet against all the odds paid off in a big way. Here is a closer look at some of the top NFL player props for Week 9 of NFL action.
Lamar Jackson Under 35.5 Rushing Yards

In games where the Baltimore Ravens find themselves in a shootout, I’m all about being aggressive with Lamar Jackson’s rushing line.

In a game where the Ravens could be facing a positive game script while coming off a three-game hiatus due to a hamstring injury, I am not so wild about predicting a big rushing day for Jackson.
In the one game this season where Lamar played and they faced a non-Super Bowl contender, Jackson finished with 13 yards rushing against the Cleveland Browns.
Lamar has the type of explosive playmaking ability with his legs to squash this line in one run, but I just don’t see Todd Monken calling his number as a rusher coming off of an injury, and the struggling Dolphins are unlikely to force Jackson to put on the Superman cape in this contest.

Jordan Mason Under 38.5 Rushing Yards

Jordan Mason finished with just three rushing yards in the first game with Aaron Jones back in the lineup. That is not exactly an encouraging sign for a committee running back putting up big rushing numbers in an offense that has a ton of questions at the quarterback position.
The Detroit Lions offense is a well-oiled machine coming off a bye, which could make this a negative game script for the Vikings fairly quickly if J.J. McCarthy or Max Brosmer struggles in this contest.

Mason has been more of a high-volume runner than an explosive runner in 2025, which makes me doubt he will see enough volume in this contest to hit the over for this rushing line.
Patrick Mahomes Over 26.5 Rushing Yards
NFL: Ranking the top 10 passing leaders after Week 8

The Buffalo Bills’ defense has had its fair share of struggles in 2025, but looked far better against the Carolina Panthers coming out of the bye than expected.
Patrick Mahomes has topped 27 yards rushing in six of his eight games this season and rushed for 43 yards against the Bills in the 2024 AFC Championship Game.
In what always seems to be a competitive back-and-forth affair between two of the biggest superstars in the league, I expect Mahomes to extend multiple drives by picking up key third downs with his legs in Week 9.
