This article highlights a few of my favorite player props for Week 7, including different payout options. Whether you're aiming for a simple two-pick win or stacking five props, I've got you covered.

Swift stays hot, Hopkins immediate impact (3X)

I want to start off with two of my favorite unrelated props of the week. I want to bet on the Bears offense in this week's matchup against the Commanders. Chicago has shown steady improvement each week, and with Caleb Williams making good on his elite potential, I am bullish on the offense overall. D'Andre Swift should remain hot. I also like DeAndre Hopkins' chances of making an immediate impact for the Chiefs. Even if he doesn't know 100% of the offense, he is the best healthy wide receiver on the roster by a good margin.

D’Andre Swift – Over 18.5 Receiving Yards

• Swift has topped 22+ receiving yards in each of his last five games, showcasing his consistent involvement in Chicago's passing game.
• Washington’s defense has limited running back receptions recently but allowed notable receiving games to Rachaad White (75 yards) and Zack Moss (39 yards) earlier this season.
• I am buying stock in this Bears offense, which has been emerging as one of the best in the NFL. With Swift’s receiving role, he’s a strong candidate to surpass this modest receiving yard target.

DeAndre Hopkins – Over 36.5 Receiving Yards

• Footballguys analyst Jason Wood projects Hopkins with 5+ targets per game right away in Kansas City, potentially reaching the 7-8 target range as he fills a critical role in the Chiefs' injury-riddled receiving corps.
• Chiefs coach Andy Reid expressed enthusiasm about Hopkins' immediate integration, stating, "Why wait?" Hopkins passed his physical and is practicing without restrictions, ready to contribute right away.
• Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce noted Hopkins’ veteran adaptability, saying it won’t take long for him to make an impact. “You’re talking about a proven vet that’s been in multiple systems," said Pierce of Hopkins. "It’s not going to take him a long time to learn it just to get him up to speed.”
