Cooper Albers provides his top player prop bets for Sunday’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams.

Former NFC West rivals collide when the Los Angeles Rams host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. 

The rolling Rams (5-2) aim for their third-straight win, riding the momentum from a 28-point blowout of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Meanwhile, the stumbling Saints (1-7) look to snap a three-game skid — punctuated by a 20-point thumping from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kickoff at SoFi Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET. Los Angeles enters as a staggering 14-point favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, with New Orleans listed as a +700 underdog. The total is set at 43.5 points. 

Here are the top player prop bets for Sunday’s Week 9 matchup between the Saints and Rams. 

Saints vs. Rams Best Prop Bets

Puka Nacua 100+ Receiving Yards (+106)

While Los Angeles kept winning in his absence, the Rams will be ecastatic to welcome Puka Nacua back to the field after the star receiver was sidelined with a foot injury in Week 6. A bye week delayed his return even further, but now Nacua looks poised to make up for lost time. 

Despite missing a game and a half, Nacua has hauled in 54 receptions for 616 yards — ranking third and fourth in the NFL, respectively. He topped 100 receiving yards in three of his five full games before the injury, including a career-high 170 against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. 

Count on Matthew Stafford to pepper Nacua with targets in his WR1’s first game back. 

Matthew Stafford 3+ Pass TDs (+167)

All these years later, veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is still a touchdown machine. The former No. 1 pick has piled up 1,866 passing yards and 17 touchdowns — tied with Patrick Mahomes for the NFL lead. 

Stafford has tossed for three or more scores in three of his last four outings and enters Sunday fresh off matching his career-high with five touchdown passes against the Jaguars in Week 7. 

The Super Bowl champ is finding his targets in the endzone at will, and with his WR1 back in the lineup, he’s well-positioned to match last year’s total of 20 touchdowns with three-plus passing scores on Sunday afternoon.

Alvin Kamara Under 39.5 Rush Yards (-109)

Alvin Kamara is listed as questionable to play against the Rams with an ankle injury, though Saints head coach Kellen Moore seemed optimistic about his availability. Even so, the veteran running back is enduring a career-worst season that continues to trend downward.

Kamara managed just six carries for 21 yards — both season lows — against the Buccaneers in Week 8, dropping his yards-per-carry average to a career-low 3.6. After topping 40 rushing yards in his first four games, Kamara hasn’t logged more than 31 in any of the four that followed. 

With New Orleans likely to spend much of Sunday playing from behind, the Saints could lean on rookie QB Tyler Shough to throw them back into contention. Kamara should still be active in the passing game, but don’t expect him to do much damage on the ground.
