Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 3 slate features a cross-conference showdown between the Carolina Panthers and the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
Both squads picked up their first wins of the season on the road in Week 2. The Panthers (1–1, 1st NFC South) thumped the Atlanta Falcons, 34–3, while the Browns (1–1, 2nd AFC North) notched a 23–19 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Carolina is a 2.5-point road favorite with -148 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. Cleveland is a +124 underdog, with the game total set at O/U 42.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Panthers and the Browns.
Panthers vs. Browns NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 3
Quinshon Judkins 60+ Rush Yards (-121)
The Browns are still awaiting a sophomore leap from Quinshon Judkins. The second-year RB, 22, has mustered just 54 yards and zero touchdowns on 24 carries across Weeks 1 and 2. That said, Judkins cleared 60 rushing yards in seven games last year — and a bounce-back performance could be on the horizon for Sunday afternoon.
The Panthers’ rush defense is abysmal, and that may be sugar-coating it. Carolina ranks dead last in opponent rushing yards (448), yards per carry (6.3), rush TDs (6), and 20+ yard rushes (4). Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai’s 61-yard house call in Week 1 is the longest rush of the year so far.
Bryce Young 2+ Pass TDs (+126)
Few quarterbacks have had a better start to 2026 than Bryce Young. The former first overall pick has looked anew through his first two games in Year 4, completing 63 percent of his passes for 648 yards and tying for the NFL lead with six touchdowns compared to one interception.
With plenty of weapons at his disposal, the 25-year-old field general has recorded three passing touchdowns apiece in Weeks 1 and 2. At plus odds, Young offers tremendous value to dish out at least two scores against the Browns — who kicked off the season by surrendering four touchdowns to Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence.
