The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos meet Thursday night with several player props worth targeting. Bo Nix faces a tough matchup against Seattle’s league-leading pass defense, while Jaylen Waddle could struggle to find opportunities in Denver’s inconsistent passing attack. On the other side, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been putting up huge numbers and remains Sam Darnold’s favorite target. With Seattle’s defense creating problems for opposing quarterbacks and Smith-Njigba continuing his impressive season, Thursday night offers several appealing betting angles, including a same-game parlay worth considering.

Broncos QB Bo Nix Under 199.5 Passing Yards (-112)
Nix has had a tough time getting Denver’s passing game going, averaging just 188.4 yards through five games. He’s thrown for fewer than 200 yards three times this season, including a 123-yard performance against the Chargers last week. Things won’t get any easier against Seattle, which leads the NFL in passing defense at 150.8 yards allowed per game. With seven interceptions already, the Seahawks could force Denver to rely more heavily on its running game Thursday night.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba 100+ Receiving Yards (+115)
Smith-Njigba has been Seattle’s biggest offensive weapon this season, topping 100 receiving yards in four of his first five games. He’s caught 37 passes for 583 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging nearly 120 yards per contest. Smith-Njigba also has drawn 50 targets, making him Sam Darnold’s favorite option in the passing game. After dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the week, he returned to full participation in Wednesday’s “light” practice ahead of Thursday’s matchup against Denver.
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle Under 4.5 Receptions (-153)
Waddle has struggled to find consistent opportunities in Denver’s passing game, catching just 18 passes for 204 yards through five games. He’s finished with two or fewer receptions in three contests, including a two-catch performance against the Chargers last week. Outside of his eight-catch outing against Jacksonville, Waddle hasn’t made much noise. Seattle also leads the NFL in passing defense, allowing just 150.8 yards per game, creating another difficult matchup for Bo Nix and Denver’s receivers Thursday night.
