For the third time this season, the NFL will close out the week with a doubleheader on Monday night.
Both games are non-conference matchups, with the Ravens traveling to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers and the Cardinals hosting the Chargers in Game 2.
Two games means double the fun for NFL fans. So let's take a look at which player props offer the best value on the market.
Baker Mayfield 1.5+ passing touchdowns (-108, FanDuel)
The Buccaneers and Ravens have two of the most potent offenses in the league, ranking third and fourth in scoring with at least 29.5 points per game.
So it's no wonder the total hits 50 after opening with 46. Tampa Bay's offense ranks fifth in yards per play (6.1), so they should be able to get the ball down the field.
However, the Buccaneers will need to be creative inside the red zone, as the Ravens have the stingiest run defense in the league.
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was often seen as just a game manager, but he has become one of the league's best passers, tied for first in touchdowns with 15.
He has over 1.5 passing touchdowns in the last three games and 10 of the last 13 games. Look for Mayfield to rack up even more touchdowns in a game where high scores are expected.
Chris Godwin, 73.5+ receiving yards (-120, DraftKings)
Mayfield has a lot of weapons at his disposal and will likely look in the direction of Chris Godwin early and often.
Godwin leads the Buccaneers with 53 targets and has nearly twice as many receiving yards (511) as any other pass catcher on the team.
Baltimore does a great job of getting ahead in games, which forces opponents to mostly give up the run in favor of the pass.
Unfortunately, the Ravens can be a little lacking in pass defense at times, as they rank in the bottom 10 in receiving yards allowed.
Godwin thrived against teams that fit that type of profile, surpassing the receiving yards prop in six of his last seven games at this spot.
He's averaged 97 receiving yards over that span, which looks promising as his prop yards are set at 73.5.
Kyler Murray eclipsed 32.5 rushing yards (-113, ESPN BET)
The Chargers vs. Cardinals game saw a complete reversal, with Arizona starting as a 1-point favorite and now trailing (+1.5).
This is a pretty aggressive move, especially considering Joey Bosa's injury report is questionable and the Chargers may be without one of their biggest disruptors.
Despite this, Los Angeles still has a good defense and ranks third in overall DVOA.
The Chargers' style of play has become more cautious under coach Jim Harbaugh, and the point spread suggests this game should be a tight contest.
Arizona lost 34-14 against Green Bay, with quarterback Kyler Murray gaining just 14 rushing yards.
This is a winnable game for the Cardinals, who are looking to bounce back from a blowout loss, and high-leverage games like this are where Murray will be expected to use his legs more.
Murray has eclipsed the rushing prop's 32.5 yards in four of the last five home games, and Bosa's possible absence is an invitation for the diminutive quarterback to try his luck running the ball. It is like a state.
Justin Herbert, less than 12.5 rushing yards (-113, Fanatics)
The Chargers dodged a bullet for the second time in Week 2 with Justin Herbert's ankle X-ray results coming back negative.
Since taking over, Harbaugh has provided structure to a Chargers team that looked undisciplined during Brandon Staley's tenure.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
Harbaugh knows the Chargers need a healthy Herbert to be successful, and he doesn't want to see his quarterback take off and run from the pocket.
Since Week 2, Herbert has averaged 2.6 rushing attempts and just 2 yards per game. His rushing yards prop is 12.5, and he hasn't exceeded that projection in six of the past seven games.
Herbert is moving the ball less than he was earlier in his career, but if he's still feeling the effects of his ankle injury, playing underneath could provide even more value.
