NFL Player Props & Anytime TD Picks For Week 8: Ja'Marr Chase, Drake London & More

Sometimes, the best bet is backing an established stud in a get-right spot. Other times, it’s getting ahead of a changing role before the books make us pay for it.

We’ve got a little of both on my Week 8 NFL betting card.

Drake London and Ja’Marr Chase don’t need introductions. Jonah Coleman and Travis Hunter require a little more imagination, but there’s a price for everything.

Let’s start with the yardage props, then get into the touchdown bets.

NFL Player Props For Week 8

Drake London Over 79.5 Receiving Yards (-114, FanDuel)

As long as Michael Penix is slinging the rock for Atlanta, I’m interested in just about anything London-related.

The connection is there, the opportunity is there, and this week’s matchup gives us another reason to keep going back to the well. I feel like I’ve been betting on receivers against the Todd Bowles pass funnel since I’ve been alive. Why stop now?

Bowles wants to make opponents throw rather than let them establish the ground game. That’s fine with me when the opposing offense has a receiver who commands this much downfield opportunity.

London owns a whopping 42% air-yards share. That kind of involvement and a defense that encourages passing pairs together like a cold beer and some pub pretzels.

Keep letting Penix throw, keep giving London opportunities, and let the big fella work.

A line of 79.5 isn’t exactly a bargain-bin number, but London has the role to justify it. With Penix running the show, I’m comfortable backing him.

Jonah Coleman Over 40.5 Rushing Yards (-114, FanDuel)

Denver’s ground game has needed a spark for weeks.

J.K. Dobbins hasn’t been the answer, and RJ Harvey should still have a role on passing downs. But Coleman returned from injured reserve last week and immediately led the Broncos’ running backs with a 49% snap share.

That says something.

The team needs to get the running game going, and the draft capital invested in Coleman this spring gives Denver a reason to see what it has. We don’t need to declare him the unquestioned lead back for the rest of the season. We need him to build on an encouraging return and get to 41 rushing yards. That’s not a huge ask.

This is a chance to get ahead of the masses, but unlike our Hunter touchdown dart (see below), we have a meaningful workload to lean on. Coleman didn’t return just to stand around and admire the scenery. He immediately became a substantial part of the backfield.

Give me the over in a potential coming-out party Sunday. Hopefully, he rewards a few fantasy managers’ FAAB budgets while he’s at it.

Week 8 Anytime TD Picks

Ja’Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown (-120, FanDuel)

As long as Chase stays healthy, I expect his usage to start looking a lot more like what we’re accustomed to seeing.
This is an alpha receiver, widely viewed as the best in football. His current 20.5% target rate doesn’t match the workload I expect him to command over a full season. I’d be shocked if that number wasn’t pushing 30% by the time we’re done in 2026.

That doesn’t guarantee a touchdown Sunday, but Tennessee offers a fantastic get-right spot. The Titans’ defense was already struggling before the Jeffery Simmons trade. Removing him from the equation doesn’t exactly make life harder for Joe Burrow.

Burrow should have time to operate, and that’s bad news for a secondary trying to keep Chase out of the end zone. We’re laying a little juice here, but this isn’t a spot where I need to get especially creative. An elite receiver, a favorable matchup, and room for his involvement to grow.

I’ll take Chase to find the paint.

Travis Hunter Anytime Touchdown (+600, FanDuel)

I just can’t help myself.

Hunter finally delivered a monster game in Week 6 on—checks notes—nine damn snaps. Nine!

Yes, backing someone to score after playing that little goes against just about everything I wholeheartedly believe in. But sometimes, the point is getting ahead of the curve.

There’s a price for everything, and +600 has my attention.

Hunter doesn’t need to become a full-time offensive player overnight. Even a move toward 30% of Jacksonville’s offensive snaps could make him interesting in these markets.

Brian Thomas has been mentioned in trade rumors, and I could see the Jaguars wanting a better look at an offense with Hunter more involved. That’s my personal speculation, not a promise of additional playing time.

Still, Jacksonville is coming off a bye, giving the coaching staff time to install a few wrinkles. This is a small-wager long shot. We’re betting on talent, and the possibility of an expanding role—not pretending nine snaps is suddenly a comfortable workload.

Hunter is an elite talent, and it was refreshing to see that overseas a few weeks ago. There’s no way the Jags’ decision–makers saw that performance and thought, “Nah, no more of this!”

He’s priced at 6/1 for obvious reasons, but you won’t find a better player at those odds who can sniff the end zone this week.
