Cover the Slate NFL player props for the Week 7 main slate on October 25, 2026

Our Week 7 main-slate card brings together six player props, from Christian McCaffrey’s receiving role to Woody Marks’ new backfield opportunity. Tucker Kraft receptions, Chase Brown carries and Woody Marks rushing yards round out our overs, with Jared Goff under 26.5 completions giving us a different way into Packers-Lions. We have six singles built around specific workloads and matchups, rather than needing every game to turn into a shootout.

This card covers Sunday’s afternoon games on October 25, 2026, beginning at 1 p.m. ET / 17:00 UTC. The Paris game, Sunday Night Football and Monday’s games are separate. Our six singles come first, followed by two deliberately ambitious parlays: three receivers to reach 100 yards and three players to score twice.

Lines reflect publicly displayed DraftKings-attributed listings checked Sunday morning. Numbers and prices can move, so check your sportsbook before betting.

1. Bijan Robinson over 29.5 receiving yards

We prefer Bijan’s receiving yardage to asking him to clear a bigger number on the ground. San Francisco is the main attraction here, rather than a dramatic injury-driven change in workload. Brian Robinson is out, but he had only six targets this season, so we are not treating his absence as a large pool of catches suddenly available to Bijan. San Francisco has allowed running backs to contribute as receivers, so Bijan does not need the Falcons to spend the afternoon protecting a lead. A handful of catches can get him to the 30 yards we need.

The appeal is the combination of matchup and opportunity, not a dominant recent streak. Bijan has averaged 24 receiving yards this season and 4.5 targets across his last two games. Atlanta also elevated Khalil Herbert, so the available backfield work does not automatically become Bijan’s. We see a modest receiving threshold and a useful matchup, but this is a measured lean rather than our strongest volume bet.

What could beat us: More snaps can become extra carries or pass protection rather than targets. Atlanta still has to choose to get him the ball in space.

2. Christian McCaffrey over 5.5 receptions

Six catches is our preferred way to back McCaffrey’s role in this matchup. With Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel out, San Francisco has fewer established receiving options available. McCaffrey caught nine of ten targets last week, giving Brock Purdy a reliable short-area answer while his playing time continued to rise. That happened with Evans playing and contributing three catches for 94 yards. Evans’ absence is an additional opportunity this week, not the explanation for McCaffrey’s nine catches last time.

We should not turn that one game into an automatic weekly baseline. It was McCaffrey’s first six-catch performance of the season, and George Kittle remains a major part of the passing game. Christian Kirk’s return adds another option. Our case is that McCaffrey can stay involved through ordinary completions, without a long reception or a trip to the end zone doing the heavy lifting.

What could beat us: The 49ers spread those shorter throws around, or McCaffrey’s workload shifts back toward carries. His nine-catch game is encouraging evidence, not a guarantee.

3. Tucker Kraft over 4.5 receptions

We prefer five catches to asking Kraft to turn those catches into a particular yardage total. His last three games produced six, five and five receptions, and his regular role gives Jordan Love an established option underneath. Detroit has allowed tight ends to contribute, making Kraft a sensible way into this matchup without needing to choose which outside receiver produces the biggest play.

The recent catch counts support this threshold more directly than a receiving-yards over. Kraft still shares the passing game with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, though, and Josh Jacobs’ return gives Green Bay another way to move the ball. Detroit getting Brian Branch back also makes the matchup less inviting than its earlier results alone suggest.

What could beat us: Green Bay leans on Jacobs or concentrates its completions outside, while Branch’s return helps Detroit limit the easy middle-of-the-field throws. We need five catches, not simply a useful afternoon from Kraft.

4. Chase Brown over 11.5 rushing attempts

Brown’s attempts are more appealing to us than his rushing yards against Baltimore. We need 12 carries, not a particularly efficient afternoon against the Ravens’ front. Brown has reached that mark in four of Cincinnati’s five games, with carry totals of 16, 20, 13, nine and 13.

That leaves room for Samaje Perine to contribute without requiring Brown to monopolize the backfield. Brown played 60% of the snaps in his last game, which supports a meaningful role but also makes the split worth respecting. Twelve carries is a reasonable workload target for the lead option if Cincinnati can keep its running game in the plan.

What could beat us: Cincinnati falls into a pass-heavy afternoon or gives Perine a larger share. Brown’s nine-carry game is a recent reminder that the workload can fall below this line.

5. Woody Marks over 63.5 rushing yards

The new opening for Marks is Jawhar Jordan going on the practice-squad injured list on October 21. Jordan took six carries for 43 yards last game, so there is actual recent backfield work to redistribute. With Montgomery still out, Jordan’s absence leaves Houston even thinner behind Marks. Marks has taken 15 carries in each of the last two games, and the Giants offer a more appealing rushing matchup than Jacksonville. A Houston lead would help turn that role into a fuller afternoon’s workload.

This is our most game-script-sensitive single. Marks ran for 62 and 56 yards on those consecutive 15-carry outings and has not reached 64 rushing yards this season. We need either a little more volume or better efficiency against New York. The role and matchup give him that path, but it is important not to describe this as simply asking him to repeat last week.

What could beat us: Houston does its damage through the air, rotates more at running back or gets another modest yards-per-carry result from Marks.

6. Jared Goff under 26.5 completions

Goff can have a productive game without completing 27 passes. His five games this season have produced 26, 26, 25, 32 and 19 completions. The only game above this line came when Detroit needed 52 pass attempts. That makes the under a way to back a more balanced Lions offense rather than betting that Goff struggles.

The half-completion matters here: both 26-completion games would win at 26.5. Detroit can move the ball through Gibbs or generate yardage on fewer, longer completions and still give this pick a route home.

What could beat us: Green Bay keeps scoring and forces Detroit to answer with sustained passing volume. An efficient shootout is the obvious danger, especially if the Lions spend the second half chasing points. Short throws to Gibbs and Sam LaPorta can also pile up completions against Green Bay’s depleted linebackers.

Two longshot parlay ideas

These are separate from our singles and substantially harder to land. These are unpriced ideas: availability of the exact alternative lines and three-leg combinations is unconfirmed. All three legs must win in each parlay.

Longshot 1: Three receivers to reach 100 receiving yards

  • Christian Watson: 100+ receiving yards at Detroit
  • Drake London: 100+ receiving yards vs. San Francisco
  • Ja’Marr Chase: 100+ receiving yards at Baltimore

All three must reach 100 receiving yards in their own games. Watson gives us the vertical threat, London the established outside target and Chase the ability to turn a big receiving day into a much bigger one.

Watson entered the weekend with 538 receiving yards on 29 catches. Detroit has allowed 297.4 passing yards per game, so there is a clear route to chunk gains if Green Bay protects Jordan Love. London has 550 yards on 31 receptions this season, and his production gives Atlanta a credible way to answer San Francisco without needing every drive to be built around the run.

Chase completes the ticket because Baltimore has to account for both him and Tee Higgins. His past success against Marlon Humphrey shows the upside, although the Ravens have also had better results with Nate Wiggins in coverage. We would not treat one cornerback matchup as a prediction of where every target will go.

Why it is a longshot: Watson shares targets with Golden and Kraft, and Detroit’s pass rush can disrupt the deeper throws. San Francisco can keep London’s offense off schedule. Baltimore can change its coverage and make Cincinnati distribute the ball. Three strong receivers can all play well and still leave this ticket short.

Sources: Watson’s production and Detroit matchup, London’s season production, Baltimore’s coverage challenge.

Longshot 2: Three players to score two or more touchdowns each

  • Jahmyr Gibbs: 2+ touchdowns vs. Green Bay
  • Christian McCaffrey: 2+ touchdowns at Atlanta
  • Derrick Henry: 2+ touchdowns vs. Cincinnati

This requires every player to score at least twice: a minimum of six touchdowns across the three players. One touchdown from each does not win. This is the most speculative idea on the page, not an extension of the confidence we have in our singles.

Gibbs has scored nine touchdowns in five games, giving us a player whose scoring ceiling is already evident. Green Bay’s linebacker absences help the matchup, but the Packers have held four of their last five opponents to 17 points or fewer. Detroit still has to create enough scoring chances for Gibbs to finish more than one.

McCaffrey just scored twice on the ground while adding nine receptions against Washington. That was already his second multi-rushing-touchdown game of the season. His ability to contribute as a runner and receiver gives him multiple scoring routes, although Kittle and the rest of the offense can take those finishes instead.

Henry brings seven rushing touchdowns and 130 carries into a matchup with a Cincinnati defense tied for 23rd against the run. He is a natural choice when we are looking for a back who can finish repeated drives. The concern is whether Baltimore creates those opportunities with Tyler Huntley leading the offense; Henry managed 58 rushing yards last week.

Why it is a longshot: Even a strong lead-back workload can produce zero or one touchdown. We need three separate offenses to generate the right chances, then the right player to finish twice in every game.

How we would use this card

The six singles are the main card. We would not combine all six just because we like each individually, and the two San Francisco-Atlanta picks share exposure to the same game. The longshots belong in a separate, much smaller entertainment budget, with the full stake treated as money that can be lost.
