NFL Week 6 Player Props: Cam Skattebo, Aaron Rodgers and Puka Nacua Best Bets

Bye weeks roll on in Week 6, and that, paired with another London game to start off Sunday morning, leaves us with our smallest main slate of 2026 yet – 10 games. Naturally, that still leaves us with plenty of opportunity to capitalize on player props over the course of the day.

Without further ado, let’s break down a trio of appealing player props to focus on. Be sure to check out our NFL betting trends page as well, for data and odds on every game.

Best NFL Week 6 Player Props

• Cam Skattebo Over 58.5 Rush Yards 
• Aaron Rodgers Over 16.5 Completions
• Puka Nacua Over 89.5 Receiving Yards

Cam Skattebo (Giants vs. Saints) Over Rushing Yards

After an impressive recovery from last year’s serious ankle injury, Skattebo opened the season with a strong 81-yard night against the Cowboys in Week 1. However, the running back’s fortunes have dimmed somewhat since Jaxson Dart went down for the season in Week 2, as he’s failed to eclipse 60 rushing yards in the last four games. However, the silver lining is that’s brought down his yardage prop somewhat, and Week 6 may be a good time to pounce.

Skattebo is drawing a home-field matchup against the Saints, which have surrendered an NFL-high 667 rushing yards and have done so at 5.1 yards per carry. New Orleans is facing the sixth-highest rush play rate as a result (48.4%), while Skattebo continues to serve as a clear lead option and has at least 18 carries in three games thus far. 

He’s also come within one yard of going 4-1 to the Over on this figure this season, and the Giants, while actually a slight underdog for this game, are very likely to be able to stick with a balanced attack throughout.

Aaron Rodgers (Steelers at Buccaneers) Over Completions

Rodgers is progressively looking like he’s going to send his 22-year NFL career off in style and go down slinging. The future Hall of Famer has been nothing if not busy in his Steelers reunion with Mike McCarthy, already recording a pair of 40 pass-attempt games and making 39 throws in a third. The Steelers have generated the third-highest pass play rate (66.1%), including the second highest on the road (67.9%), and Pittsburgh’s Week 6 matchup shapes up as one where that trend is likely to continue.

The Buccaneers are once again a pass-funnel defense for the most part this season, as Tampa Bay has allowed the third-fewest rushing yards to running backs (300) and done so at 3.4 yards per carry. The Steelers still figure to do their best to run a balanced offense, especially with Rico Dowdle slated to make his return from a toe injury. However, the Bucs are still facing a 60.8% pass play rate, and Rodgers therefore figures to put the ball up a fair amount.

As such, this completions figure looks very surpassable for the veteran signal-caller, even though he’ll work with a short-handed receiving corps. That may simply mean more work for Pat Freiermuth, Jaylen Warren and other non-WR options, and Rodgers has between 19 and 24 completions in every game so far.

Puka Nacua (Rams vs. Cardinals) Over Receiving Yards

Nacua had an unforgettable night in the Week 5 Monday night loss to the Bills, recording a career-high 17 receptions on a career-high 24 targets on his way to 138 yards. Despite having missed two games due to injury, Nacua already has 31 receptions for 337 yards  in just three contests, and he’s averaging a whopping 15 targets per contest thus far. 

The prolific receiver seems to usually be immune to game script as well, so even though the Rams are double-digit home favorites for Sunday’s game, Nacua always figures in heavily into anything Los Angeles’ passing attack does. He’s been targeted on a whopping 38.8% of his routes in his first trio of contests, which has helped lead to totals of nine and 17 catches in the last two. 

The Cardinals are very attackable on the ground, but Arizona has also surrendered 17.4 yards per reception to wide receivers. Nacua already has five catches of 20+ yards, and he has 129- and 167-yard tallies against the Cardinals in two of the last three meetings with the NFC West rivals. The Rams also have an implied team total of 32 points for Sunday’s clash, which further supports the notion there will be some success through the air for Los Angeles that Nacua is a part of.
