If you’re planning to make Week 6 NFL prop bets for Sunday Night Football’s scintillating Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys matchup, then you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve analyzed the game’s highest-probability scripts to assess the most likely outcomes, including which players are in line to thrive more than anticipated and which could fall short of expectations. All prop bets are based on DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, or BetMGM.
Eagles vs. Cowboys Player Props To Target
The following NFL betting recommendations are based on proprietary PFN predictive analytics culled from decades of NFL historical data. Using this data, I’ve built dozens of models showing actionable probabilities of better-than-expected and worse-than-expected outcomes.
A.J. Brown Week 6 Player Props
In Week 1, the Eagles made the most of their biggest offseason acquisition, A.J. Brown. Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith didn’t catch a ball on only four targets. Then in Week 2, it was Smith’s turn to dominate. In Week 3, both receivers enjoyed great days. Brown took over in Week 4, and then Smith reclaimed the top spot last weekend.

This doesn’t mean it’s necessarily Brown’s turn. The Cowboys’ pass defense poses a tough test. That said, Brown is too talented to take his third backseat in six games. And Dallas hasn’t been fully tested the past three weeks against Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz, and Matthew Stafford. I’m betting on a nice rebound performance for Brown.

Jalen Hurts Week 6 Player Props
I often like going over on quarterback passing TD props. Last year, 14 QBs with at least four starts averaged more than 1.5 passing TDs per game. That’s a typical player prop for non-elite passers like Jalen Hurts, who sometimes does more scoring on the ground than through the air. This is a statement game, and I believe Hurts will deliver through the air (and of course, on the ground).

Cooper Rush Week 6 Player Props
Cooper Rush has been just fine as Dallas’ placeholder QB while Dak Prescott gets healthy. But the spot-starter hasn’t faced a defense this good for 60 minutes. Even assuming a negative game script, I see more three-and-outs than prolonged drives. He’s a likely bust in a brutal road contest.

Ezekiel Elliott Week 6 Player Props
If we feel strongly about which way a player will go, then it often doesn’t matter what the betting line is. Ezekiel Elliott has mustered 49+ rushing yards in each game this season. His betting lines this week assume the Eagles’ defense (5.0 yards per carry) will cede space to Elliott. Instead, I see Philly stacking the box and daring Rush to beat them through the air. The veteran RB will be lucky to crack 34 rushing yards.

CeeDee Lamb Week 6 Player Props
I wish this weren’t the case. Forced to start CeeDee Lamb in my fantasy league (due to no better options), I’m bracing for 4-6 catches for 35-45 yards.
Darius Slay and the Eagles’ high-pressure defense will wreak havoc on the Cowboys’ receivers, and because Rush is merely a “capable” QB, he’ll face difficulty finding daylight. It spells trouble for Lamb, at least for this week.
