The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions kick off Week 2 Thursday night in a matchup featuring two of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. Josh Allen gets another chance to hurt Detroit with his legs, while Jahmyr Gibbs looks to build on a monster Week 1 performance. Dalton Kincaid also draws a Lions defense that had trouble containing tight ends in its opener. With plenty of offensive firepower on both sides, Thursday night gives us several player prop 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.

Bills QB Josh Allen 40+ Rushing Yards (+137)
Allen sees open grass and usually doesn’t need a second invitation. He topped 30 rushing yards in 12 of 18 games last season, including the playoffs, and ran for 68 yards with two touchdowns against Detroit in 2024. The Lions could lean more on man coverage Thursday night, which can create running lanes when Allen escapes the pocket. Add in a Detroit defense coming off an 86-play overtime game, and his legs could stay busy.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs 130+ Offensive Yards (+107)
Gibbs is the man in Detroit’s backfield now, and Week 1 was quite the opening act. He piled up 186 total yards on 29 carries and five catches against New Orleans. Buffalo’s defensive front presents a tougher challenge, especially with Detroit dealing with offensive line injuries, but volume is Gibbs’ best friend here. The Lions should feed him on the ground and through the air while trying to keep Josh Allen and Buffalo’s offense watching from the sideline.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid 60+ Receiving Yards (+125)
Kincaid came out of the gate flying, catching five passes for a career-high 130 yards in Week 1. Now he gets a Detroit defense that just allowed seven catches and 87 yards to Saints tight ends on 15 targets. That’s a pretty inviting matchup for one of Josh Allen’s favorite weapons. Kincaid also had three catches of at least 20 yards in the opener, so he doesn’t need a mountain of targets to put together another productive night.
