The Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears meet Monday night with several player props worth targeting. DeVonta Smith should remain busy after drawing 19 targets through two games, while Saquon Barkley gets a favorable matchup against Chicago’s run defense. On the other side, D’Andre Swift could see plenty of work in the passing game with the Bears turning to a backup quarterback. With opportunities on both sides, Monday night gives us several betting angles worth attacking.
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.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith Over 5.5 Receptions (-110)
Smith leads Philadelphia with 19 targets through two games, including 13 last week against Tennessee. He turned those opportunities into 10 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. Chicago is allowing 240 passing yards per game and surrendered 13 receptions to Carolina wide receivers in Week 1. With Dallas Goedert sidelined, Jalen Hurts should continue leaning heavily on Smith as one of his most reliable options in the passing game.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley Anytime TD (-110)
Barkley is ready to go after a stinger limited him to four carries against Tennessee last week. Chicago is allowing 4.9 yards per carry, ranking 27th in the NFL, and has already surrendered two touchdowns to running backs. Barkley scored nine times last season and remains Philadelphia’s primary back. With the Eagles favored and Barkley capable of producing on the ground or as a receiver, he should have opportunities near the goal line.
Bears RB D’Andre Swift 15+ Receiving Yards (+123)
Swift should remain heavily involved in Chicago’s passing game with the Bears turning to a backup quarterback. He caught all five of his targets for 54 yards last week and is averaging 3.0 targets through two games. Philadelphia’s pass rush could force Chicago into more screens and quick checkdowns, while a potential negative game script should also keep Swift involved as a reliable option out of the backfield.
