2026 NFL season futures: Best Bets and Player Props

The early 2026 NFL betting markets have produced several interesting bets. Here are my favourite single selections for the upcoming season.
Last year, we went six out of eight - let's see if we can see similar results this time around.
Corum does not need to become the Rams’ lead back to beat this line. He needs fewer than 40 rushing yards per game across a full season, giving him a realistic path even with Kyren Williams in the backfield.
If Williams happens to miss time, Corum will have a chance to smash this number.
LaPorta scored 10 touchdowns as a rookie, so we already know he has genuine red-zone upside.
With David Montgomery vacating, new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is capable of giving its tight end a major role, with Arizona's Trey McBride having a huge touchdown jump last season as a strong positive signal.
Allen’s rushing ability can sometimes reduce his passing touchdown output, but it should not prevent him from producing strong yardage numbers again.
Buffalo’s offence still runs through him, making this line look slightly low, especially with Allen clearing this number every year since 2019.

Scrambles, designed runs and red-zone carries should give him enough opportunities to beat this modest line, provided he stays healthy and remains the starter all season.
In seasons he's played at least 11 games, Murray hasn't rushed for less than 418 yards. This offseason he joined the Vikings, immediately taking the starting QB role from J.J. McCarthy, a player the team invested a first-round pick on just two years ago.
Nix does not need an elite season to clear 3,500 yards. If he remains healthy and Denver’s offence continues to develop, the volume should be there for this over to have a chance.
Having surpassed this number in his first two years in the league and added an elite receiver in Jaylen Waddle, Nix looks set to smash it yet again.
Based on strength of schedule, the Bears have the toughest one in the league. Being in a division with three teams that all won more games than they lost last season is almost unheard of, and the Bears have to play these teams 6 times over the season.
Throw in both of the teams that featured in last year's Super Bowl, as well as the Bills, Eagles, and Jaguars, it seems 10 wins will be an extremely tough task for the team from Chicago.
It's scary investing in the Jets, but Garrett Wilson is elite. He's eclipsed this number in all three healthy seasons, and his new offensive coordinator Frank Reich has described him as the team's "bell cow", meaning the team will be running through him primarily.
It may be blind optimism, but Wilson has been a great receiver with questionable quarterback play, although it's questionable how much that will change under Geno Smith.
The Bengals are expected to remain a pass-heavy team, with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins giving Burrow one of the league’s best receiving targets. Chase Brown is another target out of the back field that can contribute heavily to this mark.
Health is the major risk, but the price is appealing if Burrow plays a full season.
Bowers should remain heavily involved in the Raiders’ passing game and will most likely lead the team in targets.
The quarterback situation creates uncertainty for sure, but his short-area role, and lack of other obvious talent gives him a strong chance of reaching the 90-catch mark.
A top-10 easiest schedule awaits the NFC East champions who boast a string of talent on both sides of the ball.
They lost alpha wide receiver AJ Brown over the off season but bring in a couple exciting options in the passing game, as well as having one of the league's most electric running backs in Saquon Barkley.
A new offensive coordinator will look to fix the stagnant offense that saw the Eagles crawl to 11 wins. Any improvement on that should have the Eagles in Super Bowl conversations.
Best Three Picks:
1. Blake Corum over 674.5 rushing yards — (1.87)
2. Sam LaPorta over 4.5 receiving touchdowns — (1.75)
3. Josh Allen over 3,600.5 passing yards — (1.87)
