Dan Johnson breaks down his top player prop bets for Sunday’s Tennessee Titans vs. Los Angeles Rams game on NFL Week 2.
The Titans host the Rams in Week 2, a clash of a rebuilding offense against an experienced Rams squad. Tennessee’s rookie quarterback struggled mightily in his debut, suggesting a game script where Los Angeles controls the tempo. With the Rams favored and game flow likely in their favor, a couple of Los Angeles playmakers present strong value in the player prop market.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 2 NFL game between the Titans and the Rams.
Puka Nacua o82.5 total receiving yards (-110)
Rams wideout Puka Nacua just won’t stop being the focal point of Los Angeles’ passing attack, huh?. In Week 1, Nacua hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 130 yards, immediately stepping up as Matthew Stafford’s go-to option. Any receiving yardage number in the high-70s is providing value given his role. The new WR1 in Sean McVay’s offense, and Matthew Stafford’s Kuppless heart. Tennessee’s secondary looks vulnerable after allowing multiple chunk plays through the air. Nacua’s relentless after-catch fight and volume (11 targets in the opener) indicate this line is too low. With the Titans’ defense likely selling out to stop the run, Nacua should find ample space on play-action crossers and quick outs. The rookie quarterback on the other side, Cam Ward, managed only 112 passing yards in his first start, meaning the Titans may struggle to sustain drives. That’s a recipe for the Rams offense to see extra possessions. In a game where Los Angeles could run up 24+ points as favorites, Nacua projects to clear 85+ receiving yards comfortably, making over 82.5 a sharp play.
Kyren Williams o74.5 total rushing yards (-115)
Rams running back Kyren Williams has quietly become the engine of L.A.’s ground game. Williams posted 66 rushing yards in the opener and now draws a forgiving matchup against a Titans front that was gashed for 133 rushing yards on 22 carries by Denver’s running backs last week. That defensive showing was no anomaly — Tennessee allowed a rushing score in 12 of 17 games last season and looked soft between the tackles. Williams is a volume back who eclipsed 75 rushing yards in 10 games last season, and he’s been especially potent on the road with three straight 100+ yard performances away from home. The game context should favor the run: Tennessee’s offense mustered only 12 points in Week 1 and is led by a rookie quarterback enduring early growing pains.
If the Rams grab a lead (they’re projected to win by about a touchdown), McVay will lean on Williams to salt the game away. The Rams’ commitment to the run (25 carries in Week 1 despite modest efficiency) underscores how integral Williams is to their approach. Facing a Titans defense that just got pounded for 6.0 yards per carry by Denver’s backs, Williams should grind out chunk gains all afternoon. Over 74.5 yards is a strong value play given his consistent volume and the Titans’ shaky run defense.
