Top 2024 Week 3 NFL prop picks
One play PropStarz loves for his NFL Week 3 props is Saints wide receiver Chris Olave over 4.5 receptions against the Eagles. Olave has surprisingly not been heavily involved in either of the Saints’ first two games, commanding eight total targets. However, he showed improvement from Week 1 to Week 2, catching four passes for 81 yards in a win at Dallas after catching just two passes against Carolina in the opener.
Olave went over 4.5 receptions in 11 of his 16 outings last season, and he is playing in essentially the same scheme this year. He is also facing a Philadelphia defense that has struggled to slow down opposing passing attacks, ranked No. 27 in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (242.0). PropStarz views this as a buy low spot on Olave, with this total expected to rise in future weeks. You can see all of PropStarz’s Week 3 NFL prop bets at SportsLine.
