Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 6 slate features an AFC East showdown between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
The Jets (2–3, 3rd AFC East) are coming off a wacky 17–12 home win against the Cleveland Browns. The Patriots (3–2, 2nd AFC East) have won back-to-back games following last week’s 45–17 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders in Foxborough.
New England is a heavy 7.5-point home favorite with -355 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. New York is a +280 underdog, with the game total set at O/U 43.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Jets and the Patriots.
Bears vs. Falcons NFL Player Prop Bets
Drake Maye 2+ Pass TDs (-159)
After an awful start to the 2026 campaign, Drake Maye is back to reminding viewers why he nearly won an MVP. The third-year QB threw for seven touchdowns against one interception in his last two games, averaging 321.5 passing yards per game. Facing a stout Raiders defense in Week 5, Maye completed 76.5 percent of his passes for 374 yards and four touchdowns in a 45–17 win.
Although the Jets have been dominant against the pass this season, they’ve recorded only one interception — typically Maye’s fatal flaw. New England’s receiver room is also set for a major upgrade in Week 6, with star receiver A.J. Brown expected to return after being activated from injured reserve.
Kenyon Sadiq Less Than 19.5 Receiving Yards (-111)
Kenyon Sadiq’s season-long numbers are inflated by one really good game against a really bad defense. Aside from his 105-yard explosion against the Lions in Week 3, the rookie tight end has struggled to provide much aerial distance for the Jets. Sadiq has fallen below 19.5 receiving yards in three of his last four games; over his last two contests, he’s caught only two of seven targets for a grand total of three yards.
Sadiq — who suffered a concussion in the second half of New York’s Week 5 win over the Browns — is currently listed as questionable against the Patriots. If he suits up, his spell of limited output will likely continue. New England has done a solid job shutting down tight ends this season, ranking T-10th in the NFL in receptions (23) and T-7th in targets (31) allowed to the position.
