Best NFL RB Prop Bets for Week 3
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins 61.5 Rushing Yards (-111)
Carolina’s run defense has been a major problem through two weeks, allowing 448 rushing yards, 6.3 yards per carry and six touchdowns. That creates a favorable matchup for Quinshon Judkins, who remains Cleveland’s lead back despite averaging just 2.25 yards per carry. The Browns have consistently given him opportunities, and Carolina will also be without linebacker Devin Lloyd. If Cleveland’s offensive line can create some room, Judkins should have his best rushing performance of the young season.
New York Jets RB Breece Hall Over 60.5 Rushing Yards (-112)
Hall continues to dominate New York’s backfield, handling 45 touches through two games compared with just 16 for Braelon Allen. He rushed for 102 yards in the opener before Green Bay held him to 29 yards last week. Detroit provides a much better matchup after allowing 147 rushing yards per game. With the Jets continuing to give Hall a heavy workload, he should have plenty of opportunities to bounce back on the ground.
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Warren has been productive as a receiver through two games, finishing with 27 and 34 yards while averaging five targets. His workload should increase, particularly on passing downs, with Rico Dowdle absent as he deals with a toe injury. Warren has consistently provided Pittsburgh with a reliable option out of the backfield, and a competitive matchup against Cincinnati should keep him involved as a safety valve in the passing game throughout the afternoon.
