Week 9 of the NFL season brings another loaded slate of player prop opportunities across the league. Well, our VSiN suite of tools — including the Opta AI Player Projections, WR-CB Matchup Tool, and NFL Player Prop Analyzer — can help bettors identify edges and uncover value in the player markets. Keep reading for some of the most advantageous spots of the weekend, and make sure you check out the pages themselves. While we’re identifying three good ones below, we have dozens of these elsewhere on the website! Subscribe and become a VSiN Pro for access to everything we have to offer!
Biggest Opta AI Player Prop Edge
CLICK HERE to check out all of our Opta AI NFL Player Prop Projections! We have over 100 projections on the OptaAI pages for Week 9!
Puka Nacua Under 94.5 Receiving Yards (-115): The biggest OptaAI Week 9 edge in the receiving column is the Under on Nacua’s yardage total. The projections have Nacua going for only 63.29 receiving yards against the Saints, which is 30.21 below his 93.5-yard total at DraftKings Sportsbook. However, you can get Under 94.5 at BetMGM, adding a little extra value. Nacua has had at least 100 receiving yards on three separate occasions this year, and he has really looked unstoppable when healthy. However, Nacua is returning from injury this week, so he might not be 100%. Also, if the Rams end up blowing the Saints out, the game script might not call for a whole lot of Nacua.
Best WR Matchup

Ja’Marr Chase vs. Bears corner Nahshon Wright: Wright has a PFF grade of 58.7 in coverage this season, ranking him 67th out of 116 players at the position. Well, it sure seems like Wright is going to be guarding Chase a lot in Week 9, meaning it might be worth looking to some props for Cincinnati’s star wideout. Chase’s receiving yard prop is up at 90.5. He’s also -120 to find the end zone. However, Chase has gone Over that yardage total in four consecutive games. He has also scored four touchdowns over the last four weeks. As long as Joe Flacco is out there, Chase should produce in a big way.
Player Prop Trend

Daniel Jones Over 250.5 Passing Yards (-125): It might be worth a look to go Over on Jones’ passing yard prop this week. In looking at our Prop Analyzer, Jones is 6-2 to the Over this season. Jones now gets to go against a Pittsburgh defense that is 23rd in the NFL in Dropback EPA per play allowed (0.167). This Steelers secondary has been absolutely miserable, and that’s probably why our OptaAI projections have Jones throwing for 282.39 yards in this game.
