Sunday Night Football plays host to a potential Super Bowl preview in Week 3 as the Los Angeles Rams (1-1) travel to face the Denver Broncos (1-1). Both teams turned the page on brutal Week 1 performances to even their records in Week 2. For the betting market, I’m focused on emerging playmakers for LA and Denver.
There’s a natural crossover between fantasy football and NFL player prop bets. If you haven’t participated in sports betting but love fantasy sports, this is as fine as any place to begin. You can wager as little as pennies just to get your feet wet. Aside from the thrill of winning real money, it’s a fun way to test your knowledge and prognostication skills.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson 50+ Receiving Yards (-123)
Los Angeles is expected to be without Puka Nacua (hip) for a second straight week, which puts the onus on Davante Adams on the outside. In Week 2, Ferguson stepped up to post a 6-54-1 line against the New York Giants. Denver is more capable of slowing Adams than the G-Men were, which should mean additional opportunities for Ferguson.
Broncos WR Pat Bryant 26+ Receiving Yards (-112)
After a solid opener, Bryant was invisible last Sunday, going without a catch on just one target. The Rams spent considerable resources to acquire Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and that duo figures to check Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. No doubt they’ll match up with Bryant at times, but I still like the second-year wideout’s chances to have a decent day.
Rams RB Kyren Williams 60+ Rushing Yards (+125)
Despite a reputation as a stout defense, the Broncos have struggled against the run, ranking 29th with 157.5 yards allowed per game. They’re even worse in yards per carry (5.1; 30th). With no Nacua, expect LA to lean on the tandem of Williams and Blake Corum. The former is the more experienced back, so I like him a bit more than Corum in a hostile environment.
Same-Game Parlay for Rams at Broncos
If you feel like all three of the above bets will hit, the SGP is worth dropping a few dollars on at the current odds.
