Titans vs. Eagles: Top FanDuel Prop Bets To Target
We’re using every tool at our disposal to make sharp prop bets for this heavyweight matchup, including fantasy averages, player trends, and the best vig. Let’s dive into the best prop bets you can target.
A.J. Brown Anytime TD (+115)
The Titans’ entire roster is the anthesis of the modern-NFL attack. They’re bad at passing the ball and stopping the pass, but elite at creating and stopping rushing production. This would bode extremely well against last year’s Eagles’ offense, but this year’s iteration has a solution for when their rushing game is slowed down.
The addition of A.J. Brown — ironically from the Titans — has been a smash hit. Brown’s raw physical savagery and refined game have provided Jalen Hurts with a dominant force to rely upon. He’s answered by leading the Eagles with 831 yards, 15.7 yards per reception, and seven touchdowns.

Brown is exactly what the 2022 Titans’ offense is missing. Why the franchise opted against just paying the 25-year-old is baffling and could cost them dearly now and later. Unless Treylon Burks quickly ascends to his upside, not having a dominant receiver will also hurt rookie quarterback Malik Willis’ development.
It’s also worth noting there is a $5 bet on the over of Brown’s receiving total that could win you $200 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Derrick Henry Over 84.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
It’s a given we’ll play one of Derrick Henry’s prop bets in every Titans game. The issue with playing his anytime touchdown scorer prop is the return is relatively bad at -145 when compared to his rushing yards prop. I still feel confident he’ll go over the 84.5-yard number.
The Eagles miss rookie Jordan Davis plugging up the middle of the defense. Adding veterans Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh were brilliant moves, but both looked like older players coming off their couch in Week 12. They’re mere stopgaps until Davis returns.
Philadelphia needs to sell out to ensure they don’t quickly fall victim to King Henry’s immense power. He can overtake this game and punish Philadelphia’s run defense in a hurry. This defense has allowed 124+ rushing yards six times this season and over 100 yards in six of their last seven.
I think Henry safely hits the over.
Miles Sanders Under 60.5 Rushing Yards (-105)
Eagles running back Miles Sanders is on the opposite side of the spectrum for this matchup. The Titans have one of the finest run defenses in the league, if not the absolute best. Week 12 was the first time they’ve allowed more than 96 rushing yards since Week 2.
The combination of Jeffery Simmons, Denico Autry, and David Long has been fantastic along the defensive front seven. This will be a tremendous trench battle between arguably the best offensive line and one of the most disciplined defenses in the NFL. Sanders, however, won’t have the gaping holes to slash through he’s so often found.
As I mentioned under Brown’s predicted prop play, I think Philadelphia eventually looks at running the ball as a bit of a lost cause. They’ll be more explosive and consistent while targeting Brown and DeVonta Smith rather than forcing Sanders into a wall of defenders.
Considering Sanders fell short of 60 yards against two of the best run defenses he’s faced this season — Washington (twice) and Indianapolis — I think going under is the best call here.
Treylon Burks Anytime TD (+205)
The Titans have shown a willingness to be tricky with their play-calling to help overcome some of their talent limitations at receiver. Burks has benefited over the last two weeks, as he’s been more involved in the offense, and Ryan Tannehill has taken more vertical shots.
He amassed 11 receptions for 181 yards against two very talented defenses in Green Bay and Cincinnati.

The Eagles’ secondary will certainly give Burks a more physical look compared to most units. The big-bodied receiver will have to fight off Darius Slay and James Bradberry, two of the more competitive corners in the league. However, we’ve seen Burks get the ball from the slot and on screens to help create opportunities for him to get downfield.
I want to avoid betting on big plays against this unit and its fearsome pass rush. That doesn’t mean there won’t be more favorable situations in the red zone for Tennessee as the field shrinks and Tannehill gets rid of the ball quickly. I like the value on this potential return.
