Giants vs. Eagles NFL Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Malik Nabers | 7+ Receptions (+185)
No matter who’s been under center for the Giants, they’ve had no trouble getting the ball to Malik Nabers. The star receiver ranks seventh in the NFL with 48 receptions — taking them for 605 yards and two touchdowns — and has finished with seven or more catches in three straight games. Across Weeks 5 and 6, Nabers racked up an astounding 23 catches on 35 targets.
J.J. McCarthy will draw his second start for New York after leading the team to an overtime win over the Texans in Week 7, finding Nabers for seven catches on nine passes. The young duo now has a prime opportunity to amplify that connection against a struggling Philadelphia defense. The Eagles, who have lost six games in a row, head into Week 9 tied for dead last in targets (173) allowed to opposing wide receivers, also ranked 29th in receptions (103), 30th in yards (1,470), and T-30th in touchdowns (10) surrendered to the position.
Saquon Barkley | Anytime Touchdown (+120)
It’s been a turbulent season for Saquon Barkley, who has seen limited action while dealing with lingering hamstring and back injuries. Although he missed Wednesday’s practice, he returned as a limited participant Thursday and carries no injury designation for Week 9. With the star running back expected to play, he’ll look to build on a recent surge that has seen him find the end zone in back-to-back games.
Barkley, 29, should be the focal point of Philadelphia’s offense, with Joe Milton making his first NFL start — and sixth career appearance — and top receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sidelined. With such a limited offensive arsenal, the Eagles should rely heavily on Barkley against New York, which has allowed six total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season. The ex-Giants star has historically torched his former team, averaging 128 rushing yards per game and 8.9 yards per carry with three total touchdowns across three games.
