The third Sunday of the NFL season is here, so that means it’s time for another round of Pick Six player props.

Last week’s batch went 3 for 6, so we’ll try to improve that percentage this time around.

Also, be sure to check out our NFL Week 3 Predictions, where we make picks against the spread and give a Lock of the Week.

Without further ado, here are the player props we have our eye on in Week 3:

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

James Cook (BUF) Rushing Yards: 60+ (-140)

Cook had a breakout game against the Dolphins in Week 2, rushing for 78 yards and two scores while adding a 17-yard touchdown reception. He probably won’t reach the end zone three times, but 60 rushing yards should be no problem for the young star. He faces Jacksonville on Monday night, a team that gave up 64 yards to Browns running back Jerome Ford on just seven carries.

C.J. Stroud (HOU) Passing Touchdowns: 2+ (-120)

Stroud only tossed one touchdown against Chicago last week, but he threw for at least two in nine games last season. He also logged two passing touchdowns against Indianapolis in Week 1. Minnesota hasn’t faced a quarterback of Stroud’s caliber yet this season, so expect him to have a big day against the Vikings’ defense.

Saquon Barkley (PHI) Rushing Yards: 70+ (-135)

The addition of Barkley to Philadelphia’s offense makes them one of the most potent rushing attacks in the league. He and Jalen Hurts combined for 180 rushing yards against Atlanta in Week 2. Barkley has blown past the 70-yard mark in each of his first two games, including a 105-yard outing against Green Bay. He’s poised for a big game against a New Orleans defense that has faced Carolina and Dallas, neither of which can run the ball.

Bo Nix (DEN) Interceptions: O 0.5 (-185)

This prop has been a no-brainer in the first two weeks. Nix has thrown four interceptions in two games and will be up against a Buccaneer defense that picked off Jared Goff twice last week. Nix isn’t working with an abundance of talent at the skill positions, so he’s in a difficult spot in his rookie season.

Calvin Ridley (TEN) Receptions: O 3.5 (-145)

Ridley has established himself as Tennessee’s top option at wideout. Will Levis has struggled mightily at quarterback through two games, but Ridley leads the team in targets (13) and receiving yards (127). He caught four passes for 77 yards and a touchdown against the Jets last week and should see plenty of action against Green Bay.

Josh Jacobs (GB) Rushing Yards: 70+ (-160)

Jacob carried the ball 32 times for 151 yards against Indianapolis in Week 2. He’s the clear-cut top offensive weapon for the Packers, who will be without quarterback Jordan Love for the foreseeable future. Jacobs will face a surprisingly good Titans defense, but he should have plenty of carries, especially if the Packers are playing with the lead in the second half.
