NFL Season-Long Player Prop Betting: Will Dak Prescott's Passing Production Rebound in 2023?
The NFL passing prop market on FanDuel Sportsbook has Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s passing yardage prop set at 3,925.5 yards for the 2023 season. The 29-year-old has seasons of 4,902 and 4,449 passing yards on his resume, but those were the only two of his seven seasons in which he eclipsed that 3,925.5-yard line. On which side of the line will Prescott fall in the 2023 NFL season? Does Dak Have the Right Supporting Cast? Perhaps more than any other quarterback in the league, Prescott’s production has seemed to stem directly from his surroundings
Arizona Cardinals Release DeAndre Hopkins
The Arizona Cardinals have released star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hopkins suited up for 35 career games with the Cardinals, including 19 over the past two seasons with no more than 10 games in either season. He totaled 2,696 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns with the team with per-17-game pace outputs of 106.7 targets, 73.7 catches, 898.7 yards, and 5.7 touchdowns. According to the Super Bowl odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, Arizona is tied with the Houston Texans for the longest odds of any team to win this year's title at +18000.

But Hopkins, who did average 7.1 catches per game a year ago, could move some markets depending on where he lands.

NFL Rookie Receiving Yards Betting: The Case for Rashee Rice in 2023
For a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, it feels like Rashee Rice has flown completely under the radar heading into his rookie season. The Kansas City Chiefs made a deal with the Detroit Lions to move up from the final pick of the second round in order to select Rice with the 55th overall pick of the draft, making him the 7th receiver drafted over the weekend. The former SMU Mustang rarely found his way to the tops of draft analysts’ pre-draft rankings. According to Arif Hasan’s Consensus Big Board rankings, which compiles the pre-draft rankings from many of the industry's top draft analysts, Rice entered the draft as the consensus WR10. By landing with the Chiefs, he is now positioned well to compete with his peers to finish with the most regular-season rookie receiving yards

NFL Rookie Receiving Yards Betting: The Case for Jonathan Mingo
Looking at the NFL Rookie Betting market on the FanDuel Sportsbook, there’s an interesting dichotomy in the odds for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Award between the Carolina Panthers’ first two picks from the 2023 NFL Draft. Quarterback and first-overall pick, Bryce Young has the second-best odds to win the award with his +430 line, while former Ole Miss wide receiver and second-round pick Jonathan Mingo is way down the board at +4200. Parsing these lines, the reasoning for this becomes pretty clear: if Jonathan Mingo is having a good season, it will almost definitely be coming as a result of Bryce Young having a successful season. It would be very difficult for Mingo to win the award over Young in any season where both players remain healthy – he’d essentially need to be a yards-after-catch monster making highlight-reel plays independent from Young’s passing in every game to even stand a chance. But if you think Bryce Young will play well in his rookie season, and believe in Jonathan Mingo’s talent and opportunity in 2023, you can take a look at Mingo’s +1200 odds to lead all rookies in receiving yards
