The Cleveland Browns are at home against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season this Sunday, September 27, at 1:00 pm ET. The Browns are 2.5-point underdogs against the Panthers, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Here are my favorite player prop bets from the Browns’ perspective in Week 3.

Last week, we hit on 2 of our 3 picks:

The one we lost was that we also had the over on RB Raheim Sanders having 9+ rushing yards. We might have been a little too cute with that one, as he only finished with 4 rushing yards.

Browns vs. Panthers Best NFL player prop bets

Quinshon Judkins First TD Scorer (+500)

We’re starting bold this week. To clarify, if you take this bet, it means that not only will RB Quinshon Judkins score a touchdown, but it will also be the first touchdown scored by either team in the game.

With the Panthers’ run defense having been gashed a bit over these first two weeks, and Cleveland showing a trend of taking the ball first on offense, it’s not a bad gamble that Judkins will find his way into the end zone for the first time this season. The risk here is the fact that the Browns’ offense has historically struggled to get points in the first half of games under Watson.

Quinshon Judkins Most Rushing Yards (+130)

We’re really riding the Judkins’ breakout game hard this week. Chubba Hubbard hasn’t lit it up for Carolina either. Even though Deshaun Watson has been the Browns’ leading rusher this season, the idea here obviously is that Judkins can get close to the 100-yard rushing mark. For practical senses, this bet comes down to who you think will have more rushing yards between Hubbard and Judkins.

Quinshon Judkins Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-113)

Why not keep it simple? This is probably the first time that I’ve ever done the hat trick of having three best bets on the same player. But if Judkins is going to achiever either of the first two, then logic says he’ll also hit the over on 60+ yards rushing. For reference, four players in two games against the Panthers have had 60+ yards rushing.

Browns fans, let us know which player prop bets you’re looking at this week against the Panthers.
