Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 6 slate features an NFC showdown between the Chicago Bears and the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
The Bears (3–2, 2nd NFC South) will look to bounce back from last week’s 31–7 loss to the rival Packers in Green Bay. The Falcons (2–3, 2nd NFC South) also aim to return to the win column following their 30–23 overtime loss at home against the Baltimore Ravens.
Chicago is a narrow 1.5-point road favorite with -118 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. Atlanta is -102, with the game total set at O/U 51.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Bears and the Falcons.
Bears vs. Falcons NFL Player Prop Bets
Bijan Robinson 100+ Rush Yards (+110)
Chicago’s early success in shutting down the run has been more about limited frequency than dominance. The Bears have faced the NFL’s fourth-fewest carries (109) yet allow the 11th-most yards per carry (4.4). The unit — which hasn’t yet been truly tested on the ground — is now tasked with stopping a run-heavy Atlanta offense, headlined by arguably the most elusive running back in the sport.
Bijan Robinson is at it again, pacing the NFL with 580 yards on 102 carries with four rushing touchdowns. Through five games, he’s averaged a career-high 5.7 yards per carry — third-best at his position. The 24-year-old superstar has rushed for 100+ yards in two of his last three games, most notably a 194-yard explosion in Week 3 against the Packers.
Caleb Williams Under 19.5 Rush Yards (-115)
- Caleb Williams (hamstring) is QUESTIONABLE for Week 6
The Bears could receive an offensive jolt on Sunday in the form of a returning Caleb Williams. The franchise quarterback — who tore his hamstring in Week 2 — was deemed questionable against the Falcons after three straight days of full practice participation.
But even if he returns to the field, Williams may struggle to make an immediate impact on the ground. Just last year, Lamar Jackson’s mobility took a notable hit after his return from a hamstring strain. Making it even harder, the Falcons have done a great job keeping opposing QBs in the pocket so far, allowing the NFL’s fewest rushing yards to the position (24 on 14 attempts).
