Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 3 slate features a cross-conference showdown between the New York Jets and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
Both squads are looking to rebound from Week 2 losses. The Jets (1–1, 2nd AFC East) dropped a 20–17 overtime thriller at home against the Green Bay Packers, and the Lions (1–1, 2nd NFC North) fell 41–31 to the Bills in Buffalo.
Detroit is a 6.5-point home favorite with -305 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. New York is a +245 underdog, with the game total set at O/U 48.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Jets and the Lions.
Jets vs. Lions NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 3
Garrett Wilson 70+ Receiving Yards (-113)
Star wide receiver Garrett Wilson has hit the ground running following an injury-riddled campaign in 2025. The former top-10 pick out of Ohio State has corralled 11 receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, topping out with 79 yards in New York’s Week 1 victory in Tennessee.
Wilson, 26, is well-positioned to record 70+ receiving yards for the second time this year on Sunday, lined up against a disastrous Lions secondary. The unit — which has hemorrhaged the NFL’s second-most passing yards per game through Week 2 (310.5) — surrendered 182 yards to New Orleans wideout Chris Olave and 95 yards to Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid.
Jahmyr Gibbs 20+ Rush Attempts (+117)
Through the first two weeks of 2026, the Jets have the most dominant coverage in football. New York’s defense currently leads the NFL in total opponent yards per game (197), while trailing only the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in average rushing yards allowed (65.5). That said, Gang Green has faced less-than-formidable competition in the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers. Those backfields don’t hold a candle to the one residing in Motor City, headlined by superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs.
This year’s consensus 1.01 for fantasy football has made his managers proud, logging 45 carries for 208 yards and two touchdowns — plus 11 catches for 13 yards and another score. The former Alabama standout, 24, has finished with 16+ rush attempts in both of his games so far, highlighted by a 29-carry performance in Detroit’s Week 1 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints. With the Lions a considerable favorite on Sunday, they’ll likely play from ahead for much of the matchup. That should leave plenty of opportunities for “Sonic” to run wild.
