Week 1 of the NFL season kicks off on Thursday with the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs facing off. There is value all across the board with the NFL Player Props Draftkings Pick6. Let’s take a look at some Ravens vs Chiefs Player Props.
Before we look at who should be in your Pick6 lineup, let’s go over a reminder about how the contest works. The goal for participants is to make more correct picks than the other participants in each contest. Winning entries receive a share of the available prizes. In Pick6, participants can build lineups of between 2 and 6 players and compete against participants with the same lineup size. The more picks you include in a lineup, the higher a payout could be.
Patrick Mahomes over 262.5 Passing Yards
Andy Reid has had all offseason to figure out a gameplan against the Baltimore Ravens defense, and that means there is going to be plenty of passing. The Ravens made a change at defensive coordinator this offseason with Zach Orr and he’s going to have his hands full. In the Super Bowl, Mahomes completed 34 of his 46 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The Chiefs are going to be pass heavy, and Mahomes is going to finish with at least 263 passing yards.
Lamar Jackson Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Lamar Jackson might find the end zone a few times, but he won’t finish with more than 1.5 passing touchdowns here. In the last game of the postseason against the Chiefs, Jackson completed 20 his 37 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Chiefs are going to force Jackson to do other things here, and the under 1.5 passing touchdowns will hit.
Derrick Henry Over 63.5 Rushing Yards
The Chiefs are going to be taking away the pass here, and Derrick Henry is going to be on the field a ton. The Chiefs were near the bottom of the league in terms of runs given up last season on the ground, Henry is going to run wild in this game, and will finish with closer to 80 yards on the ground.
Bonus Player Prop Bets
The following are bets that aren’t a part of the Draftkings Pick6 but still have value and should be bet on their own.
Lamar Jackson 60+ Rushing Yards (+155)
Player props are all about value, and that’s what Lamar Jackson offers here. All it takes is one breakout run for Lamar Jackson to get close to this number, and he’s going to have a huge game here. Jackson is going run wild here against the Chiefs defense and the plus money is just too much to pass up.
Derrick Henry over 15.5 Rushing Attempts (-125)
The Ravens running game finally has a true bell-cow in Derrick Henry, and the Ravens are going to run with that. In six of the last seven games for Henry last season, Henry finished with at least 16 rushing attempts. He’s with a new team this year, but Henry should pick up right where he left off last season.
Isiah Pacheco Over 13.5 Yards (Longest Rush) (-125)
When thinking about the Chiefs all eyes are going to be on Mahomes and Travis Kelce, but don’t overlook Pacheco. With all the attention on Mahomes, Pacheco is going to have plenty of lanes to rush the ball. He will break one off for at least 20 yards.
