We’ve already dropped our Week 1 preview; now it’s time to shine a light on some of the interesting stories that you can bet on with NFL player props in 2025.

Each player prop bet comes with its own offseason story; each with its own narrative to follow all year.
Caleb Williams Passing Yards and Touchdown Props
- Regular Season Total Passing TD’s: O/U 23.5
- Regular Season Total Passing Yards: O/U 3,625.5
Considering evaluators were expecting Patrick Mahomes 2.0 in 2024, Caleb Williams finishing with over 3,500 yards and 20 touchdowns was considered a disappointment. Add in the wild stories of lacking quarterback fundamentals, focused film study, and a lack of field awareness; by the end of 2024, Williams’ star is starting to wane.
But give Chicago credit, they brought in a head coach who can help him reach his full potential moving forward. Ben Johnson was the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, scheming them into a league-best 33.1 points per game.
So how will Williams respond to a new head coach, a new system, and his second year in the league? Will it be a sophomore slump or a sophomore jump? So far, Williams has had an up-and-down camp and preseason. The result of his 2025 player props should ultimately tell the story.
Jayden Daniels Passing Yards and Touchdown Props
- Regular Season Total Passing Touchdowns: O/U 23.5
- Regular Season Total Passing Yards: O/U 3,500.5
Jayden Daniels is another QB who comes with sophomore questions, but that’s not the only reason why we think his props are an interesting storyline.
After missing the entire offseason program, the Washington Commanders finally ended their stalemate with wide receiver Terry McLaurin, signing him to a three-year extension worth $96 million. With All-Pro wideout Deebo Samuel already on the roster via trade with San Francisco, Daniels has the ammo he needs for a successful 2025 season … on paper.
McLaurin’s return should be helpful to Daniels in 2025, but he hasn’t practiced all offseason and surprisingly has never reached 1,200 yards receiving in his entire career. Samuel, seen as a huge acquisition, hasn’t topped 1,000 yards receiving since 2021. The gadget receiver should line up at running back as well, but that won’t help Daniels’ passing props.
Offensive Rookie of the Year Props
Offensive Rookie of the Year 2025-26
- Ashton Jeanty +220
- Cameron Ward +400
- TreVeyon Henderson +1400
Titans QB Cam Ward sticks out as the most interesting rookie of the year storyline. Despite sitting behind Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty in terms of odds to win, if he were to exceed his regular-season totals of 19.5 TDs and 3,300.5 passing yards, QB bias would automatically hand him the crown. But it won’t be easy; he essentially has one playmaking receiver in Calvin Ridley to catch passes.
As for Jeanty, while his position gives him a disadvantage in a QB-driven league, he has a clear advantage in his supporting cast in Las Vegas. The Raiders have a vet QB who is coming off a 4,000-yard season, and an offensive line that improved late in 2024.
For those shopping for value, a sneaky preseason ROY pick is New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson. The rookie out of Ohio State has been showing elite burst throughout camp and preseason, and new head coach Mike Vrabel is known for grinding out games with a strong run game. Henderson could take advantage of a Patriots team that wants to alleviate stress from their second-year QB.
Defensive Player of the Year Props
Defensive Player of the Year 2025-26
- Micah Parsons +600
- Trey Hendrickson +2200
This one is juicy because of two names, Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson. Let’s start with the breaking Hendrickson news: He is back in the Bengals lineup after signing a revised contract for one year, raising his salary to $30 million.
As for Parsons, no such breaking news there. He’s still in a stalemate with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and there appears to be no blinking in this standoff. But if you want to know how talented he is, understand that he is still tied at +600 to win DPOY honors despite one of the bleakest holdouts in some time.
Marvin Harrison Jr. Receiving Yards and Touchdown Props
- Regular Season Total Receiving Yards: O/U 975.5
- Regular Season Total Receiving TDs: O/U 7.5 TDS
This one is flying under the radar a bit, but it feels like the world has forgotten about the generational receiver drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. Harrison, taken No. 4 overall in the 2024 draft, was considered a star talent at the level of Ja’Marr Chase or Julio Jones, but he underwhelmed with a sub-1,000-yard rookie season.
If Harrison Jr. doesn’t hit the over in one of the above props, expect an avalanche of changes in Arizona. With a talent like Harrison Jr., he should be reaching 1,200-plus yards in his second year unless there are serious issues at QB or in the Cardinals coaching tree.
