NFL Week 10 Player Prop Bets of the Week (2024)
Khalil Shakir (WR, Buffalo Bills) | Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+170)
The Buffalo Bills’ depth chart at wide receiver for Week 10 reads like a modern-day MASH unit. Amari Cooper has been limited in practice (wrist) and is questionable for Sunday. Mack Hollins went full on Wednesday before stepping back to “limited” on Thursday. He is also questionable, as is Curtis Samuel. The cherry on top is Keon Coleman, who has already been ruled out with his own wrist injury.
This weekend, Buffalo takes on the Indianapolis Colts, owners of the seventh-worst pass defense in the league. They are susceptible to all levels through the air, which means that Khalil Shakir (42 catches, 471 yards, two touchdowns) will see a lot of Josh Allen‘s attention as the only healthy body outside of tight end Dalton Kincaid. Even with the walking wounded, the Buffalo offense is too explosive to let the Colts off the hook on Sunday. Shakir is a solid bet to find paydirt, carrying a nice payout to boot.

Najee Harris (RB, Pittsburgh Steelers) | Over 64.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
During the current three-game stretch, Najee Harris has rumbled for 114, 102 and 106 yards, respectively. Altogether in those three affairs, he is averaging a staggering 5.96 Yards Per Carry (YPC). Even with the Steelers moving to a more pass-happy offense with the change from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson, it has done nothing but help open up the run game for Harris and backfield mate Jaylen Warren.
The Washington Commanders have ceded 164 and 202 rushing yards in their last two games against the New York Giants and Chicago Bears. Even Chuba Hubbard still knocked them for 52 yards a game prior in a contest where the Commanders won 40-7. Expect both running backs for the Steelers to come away with gaudy numbers in this one and Harris to add to his dominating stretch of controlling the clock.
Baker Mayfield (QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) | Over 0.5 Interceptions (-150)
Injuries to their receiving corps have decimated Tampa Bay. With Chris Godwin (ankle) already out for the season, this week’s injury report looks extremely dubious. Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard each did not practice on Thursday with hamstring injuries. Trey Palmer and tight end Cade Otton are seemingly the last men standing outside of their running backs.
Suffice it to say, the probability of downfield miscommunication seems on the high end. Baker Mayfield has tossed multiple interceptions in three of his last four games, good for seven total in those contests. On the other side of the ball, San Francisco has forced six picks in their prior four games before the bye last week. Victims included Patrick Mahomes (two), Dak Prescott (two), Kyler Murray and Geno Smith. The 49ers, energized after their bye, sees the return of Christian McCaffrey and will force Mayfield into a catchup role, benefitting their ball-tracking secondary.
BONUS BET: Breece Hall (RB, New York Jets) | Over 3.5 Receptions (-130)
Best of luck with all of your bets this weekend. Brick by brick, we build!
