Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Panthers and the Falcons.
Panthers vs. Falcons NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 2
Bijan Robinson 130+ Rushing + Receiving Yards (-110)
Saddled with an underwhelming receiving room and a catastrophic quarterback situation, Atlanta’s offense almost entirely revolves around Bijan Robinson. The superstar running back made that abundantly clear in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Steelers. There, he racked up 29 touches (21 carries and eight receptions) for 173 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.
The former Texas standout, 24, is eyeing another dominant showing in Week 2 against a weak Panthers defense. Carolina — which allowed the NFL’s most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025 (1,808) — surrendered 59 points and 552 total yards in its Week 1 loss to the Bears. Chicago’s lead running back, D’Andre Swift, piled up 124 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while also catching his lone target for 134 total yards.
Bryce Young 230+ Pass Yards (-105)
Bryce Young put up a valiant effort in Carolina’s Week 1 loss to the Bears, completing 23 of his 37 passes (62.2 percent) for 361 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The former Alabama star, 25, piled up 20 or more yards with six different pass-catchers — highlighted by a 138-yard, two-touchdown breakout performance from Jalen Coker.
With plenty of weapons in his arsenal, including star receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Young is well-positioned to crush his passing-yards total in Week 2 against the Falcons. While their defense is respectable, it gave up 221 yards through the air in its season opener against the 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers. In the Panthers’ last trip to Mercedes-Benz Stadium last year, Young shattered his career high with 448 passing yards — along with three touchdowns — in a 30–27 overtime win.
