The 2025 NFL season is on to the Sunday slate of Week 16. There are plenty of ways to get in on the action. Here’s a look at my favorite player prop bets for this week’s schedule, all of which you can place on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Without further ado, here are three of the best player props for NFL Week 16.
NFL Week 16 Player Props
Quinshon Judkins Anytime TD (+105)
After it looked unclear whether Quinshon Judkins would even play his rookie season, the second-round pick has been fantastic for the Browns. He leads all rookies in rushing this season despite playing one fewer game than his former teammate TreVeyon Henderson and top-drafted running back Ashton Jeanty. That is despite playing on a team with a largely inept passing offense that doesn’t require much respect from opposing defenses. This week’s game against the Bills gives Judkins a chance to score his eighth touchdown of the season. Buffalo has one of the worst run defenses in the NFL at 31st in defensive EPA/rush. Last week, his former Buckeye teammate Henderson rushed for 148 yards and two scores against the Bills. Judkins should be able to break a couple of long runs against the Bills and punch at least one run into the end zone.
Oronde Gadsden II o39.5 Receiving Yards (-109)
Oronde Gadsden II had a nice bounce-back game last week against the Chiefs. Gadsden was one of the hottest players in football after bursting onto the scene a few weeks into his rookie season. However, he had a slow month prior to the Chiefs game. Against Kansas City, Gadsden caught four balls for 61 yards. He should have another productive game this week against the Cowboys. Dallas ranks 29th in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback and 26th in defensive dropback success rate. The Cowboys are also allowing over 55 receiving yards per game to opposing tight ends this season. Gadsden should be one of Justin Herbert’s go-to targets in this game and record at least 40 receiving yards.
Rico Dowdle 15+ Receiving Yards (-114)
Rico Dowdle has been fantastic for the Panthers this season. He took over the backfield earlier and has maintained a significant role in the offense. Chuba Hubbard has also been playing a decent role in the backfield, but the two have split touches relatively equally over the past few weeks. Dowdle has proven himself to be a receiving threat in addition to his strong rushing ability. In three of his past four games, Dowdle has at least 21 receiving yards. He should have another solid receiving game against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has been by far the worst team in the NFL at defending running backs in the passing game this season. The Bucs are allowing 55.9 receiving yards per game to opposing running backs, nearly 10 more yards per game than the next team. Bryce Young doesn’t want to make mistakes in this massive game, so he should make life easy on himself by dumping the ball off to his running backs.
