If you like getting a little action on the NFL slate, this is your week. The rookie class is taking over today’s card, and these first-year players are not just hanging around. They are producing. They are earning volume. And they are walking into matchups that set the table for real yardage. So let’s dive into four rookie props I feel great about heading into Week 13.
TreVeyon Henderson – Over 61.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Henderson has taken control of the New England backfield and has not let go, even with Rhamondre Stevenson back in the lineup. He is averaging 81 rushing yards per game over his last five outings and has cleared this line in four of those games. Now he gets the Giants, who allow 6.2 yards per carry to running backs and just got lit up by Jahmyr Gibbs last week. Henderson is also +290 to hit 100 yards if you want to chase a little upside.
RJ Harvey – Over 49.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
With J.K. Dobbins on IR, Harvey now holds the keys to the Denver backfield. Forget the 30 yards on 11 carries against Kansas City two weeks ago. Almost everyone gets slowed down by that defense. This is a different matchup entirely. Washington allows the fifth-most rushing yards per game to backfields at 113.2 and have given up a 100-yard rusher in four of its last six games. Harvey is +200 for 75 yards and +525 for 100 if you want to aim higher.
Shedeur Sanders – Over 148.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Sanders stepped in for a concussed Dillon Gabriel last week and dropped 209 yards on the Raiders. He was officially named the starter after that performance and now gets another shot to push the ball downfield. This matchup is no walk in the park, but he flashed real explosive ability with two plays over 50 yards last week. This number should not take much to beat, and it is already sitting as high as 154.5 at some other shops.
Devin Neal – Over 54.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards (-115)
Alvin Kamara is out with an MCL sprain and Neal gets the call as the lead back. He barely made a dent on the ground last week with only 18 yards on seven carries, but he rescued his day with five catches for 43 yards. The rookie from Kansas is a natural pass-catcher who should be active in both phases again. Fresh legs plus expanded volume makes this one very appealing.
Rookie props, good matchups, clean numbers. That is the Week 13 card. Let’s go get it.
