The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons meet Monday night with several player props worth targeting. Alvin Kamara should see more opportunities in the passing game with Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined, while Kendre Miller could pick up additional work on the ground. Devaughn Vele also draws an appealing matchup against an Atlanta defense that has struggled against No. 2 receivers. With New Orleans adjusting its backfield and Tyler Shough spreading the ball around, 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.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara Over 16+ Receiving Yards (-111)
Kamara should see an expanded role with Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined, especially on passing downs. Atlanta has been excellent against the run, which could force New Orleans to rely more on short throws and checkdowns out of the backfield. Kamara has been a reliable receiving option throughout his career, and with more snaps and third-down opportunities available Monday night, Tyler Shough should have plenty of chances to get him involved in the passing game.
Saints RB Kendre Miller 26+ Rushing Yards (-108)
Miller should see more work Monday night with Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Miller is expected to handle the complementary role in the Saints’ backfield and could receive six to 10 carries. He has averaged nearly 4 yards per attempt during his career, giving him a reasonable path to producing with limited touches. New Orleans could also lean more heavily on its ground game to take some pressure off Tyler Shough.
Saints WR Devaughn Vele 45+ Receiving Yards (-114)
Vele has drawn at least six targets in every game while playing 91% of New Orleans’ offensive snaps. He has already topped 60 receiving yards twice and now faces an Atlanta defense that ranks 28th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. The Falcons are allowing 86 yards per game to that group. With Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined, New Orleans could also lean more heavily on Tyler Shough and the passing game Monday night.
