Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season has 14 games: Thursday’s Panthers at Packers is final (Green Bay won 27-19), 12 games are on Sunday, November 1, and the Bears play at the Seahawks on Monday night. Our prediction for every one of them is linked below. None of those predictions makes a player prop call, so this page names no prop bet. It gives the numbers a prop line is built on.

The season leaders props are priced against
These are the league leaders as ESPN listed them on Sunday morning, November 1, after Thursday’s game and before Sunday’s. The figures are season totals, and teams have played different numbers of games because of byes, so compare a player’s total with his games played before you read it as a weekly pace.
| Category | Leader | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passing yards | Jordan Love, Packers, 2,246 | Matthew Stafford, Rams, 1,989 | Bryce Young, Panthers, 1,921 |
| Rushing yards | Bijan Robinson, Falcons, 704 | Kenneth Walker III, Chiefs, 701 | James Cook III, Bills, 627 |
| Receiving yards | Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks, 867 | Christian Watson, Packers, 708 | CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys, 651 |
| Receptions | Trey McBride, Cardinals, 59 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks, 58 | CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys, 53 |
Kirk Cousins of the Raiders and Jordan Love of the Packers share the lead in touchdown passes with 16, one ahead of Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy. Javonte Williams of the Cowboys and Jahmyr Gibbs of the Lions lead in total touchdowns with nine.
Two of Sunday’s games put leaders on the same field. Trey McBride, first in receptions, and the Cardinals visit CeeDee Lamb, third in receptions and receiving yards, and Javonte Williams in Dallas. In Tampa, Bijan Robinson of the Falcons, first in rushing yards with 704, faces Bucky Irving of the Buccaneers, eighth with 558. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the receiving yards leader with 867, plays on Monday when the Bears visit Seattle.
How to bet NFL player props
A player prop is an over or under on one player’s number in one game, or a yes-or-no on a touchdown, such as an anytime touchdown scorer bet. At -110 on both sides, each side implies 52.4%, which is why you need to win about 53 of every 100 such bets to break even. A prop is worth betting only when you rate the side higher than the price does.
Two things to check before the season average: the player’s share of his team’s targets or carries, and whether he is active. Confirm who is playing before you bet, and compare the line across books. Our NFL player props guide goes through each market, and the prop betting guide covers props in every sport.
