Best Week 2 NFL rushing props and RB anytime touchdown (TD) scorer bets for 2025. Expert picks, predictions, and top odds to target for your football betting strategy.
Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. Hopefully, you had a profitable first week betting on player props. However, win, lose, or draw, now is no time to rest on your laurels.
Week 2 is traditionally a great week for handicapping. Thanks to Week 1 overreactions, we often see incorrect lines that present a great opportunity to turn a profit. Sometimes, though, the books and bettors are too slow to react to what took place in Week 1. Put these two factors together, and it creates a smorgasbord of great options for handicappers.

Best Week 2 NFL Rushing Prop Bets
Breece Hall OVER 14.5 Yards Longest Rush (-110) BetMGM Sportsbook
Risk 1.1 Units to Win 1 Unit
Hall is coming off a surprising Week 1 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He carried the rock 19 times for 107 rushing yards. Hall also finished fourth in Next Gen Stats rush yards over expected and was PFF’s third-highest graded rusher last week.
Among running backs with 5 rush attempts in Week 1, six running backs averaged 2.50 yards before and after contact per attempt per @FantasyPtsData.

The Jets have a date with the Buffalo Bills this week, and it’s a tantalizing matchup for Hall. The Bills gave up 238 rushing yards to the Baltimore Ravens last week and ranked 31st in defensive rushing DVOA per FTN Fantasy.
Buffalo also allowed 178 explosive rushing yards (runs of 15+ yards) per Fantasy Points Data Suite. That was far and away the most allowed by any team in Week 1. With New York expected to lean heavily on their ground game, this is an excellent matchup for Hall to post a monster game.
I prefer Hall’s longest rush prop given the amount of big runs Buffalo allowed last week, but I am not averse to Hall’s other props. I will probably sprinkle a little bit on his alternate rushing lines, too, and attempt to climb the ladder. Expect a big game from the Jets' RB1.
J.K. Dobbins OVER 45.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Bet365 Sportsbook Attempts
Risk 1.1 Units to Win 1 Unit
The Denver offense struggled last weekend against the Tennessee Titans. Things changed in the second half when the Broncos found success running the football. Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey both popped for long runs and helped Denver seal the victory.

Earlier this week, head coach Sean Payton lamented the fact that he did not run the ball more in Sunday’s victory and vowed to be better in this area in Week 2. That's good news for Dobbins' outlook as Denver draws a matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this week.
The Colts shut down a hapless Miami Dolphins offense in Week 1. However, Indianapolis was vulnerable on the ground and ranked 22nd in defensive rushing DVOA and 23rd in PFF’s rushing defense grade.
With Tyler Badie also getting work last week, Denver’s running back touches were split a bit more than we’d ideally like to see. However, Dobbins easily cleared this number last week despite being in a timeshare.
With Denver primed to run the ball more in this game, we should see Dobbins receive plenty of work. I expect Denver’s defense to bring Daniel Jones and the Colts' offense crashing back down to Earth. That should also ensure more opportunities on the ground for Dobbins.
Jonathan Taylor UNDER 74.5 Rushing Yards (-115) Bet365 Sportsbook
Risk .55 Units to Win .5 Units
Taylor did not eclipse this total on 18 carries against the Miami Dolphins last week. He only averaged 3.9 yards per carry and finished 28th out of 32 backs in rush yards over expected. That was against a Dolphins defense that finished 30th in PFF's rushing defense grade.
Fast forward to this weekend, and Taylor goes up against a Denver Broncos defense that completely neutralized Tony Pollard and the Tennessee Titans' running game in Week 1. Denver finished fifth in PFF's rushing defense grade and third in defensive rushing DVOA.
The Broncos also allowed zero explosive rushing plays last week, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Even though the Colts' offensive line is one of the better units in the league, this is a tough matchup for Indianapolis’ RB1.
Taylor is also nursing a neck injury. While he should play, there’s a chance he cedes work to rookie D.J. Giddens in this game. Combine that with an extremely tough matchup, and I like taking the under on this total. Also, since Denver allowed zero explosive runs last week, I think playing the under on Taylor’s longest rush prop (currently 14.5 at Bet365) is also a good look.
Nick Chubb UNDER 50.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Bet365 Sportsbook
Risk .55 Units to Win .5Units
Chubb eclipsed this total last week, but Houston’s offensive line looked like a complete mess against the Rams' defensive front. The Texans take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Vita Vea and the Tampa Bay defensive line completely neutralized Bijan Robinson and Atlanta’s ground game in Week 1.
With Houston’s offensive line being a below-average unit, we could see Chubb struggle to gain traction on the ground. He showed some signs of life last week and might have some gas left in the tank. However, this is a much tougher assignment.
Thanks to Chubb’s 60-yard effort last week, we are getting a better number for this week’s game. I don’t expect Chubb to have the same success this time around and am comfortable playing this number down into the mid-40s.
Week 2 RB Anytime Touchdown Scorer Bets
Bhayshul Tuten Anytime Touchdown (+225) DraftKings Sportsbook
.5 Units to Win 1.05 Units
Travis Etienne Jr. had a huge Week 1 performance. As a result, Jacksonville traded fellow running back Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles.

That move clears the way for Etienne to continue functioning as the lead back. It also means Tuten will now serve as the RB2. While Etienne played well and amassed 143 rushing yards last week, Jacksonville did not have any rushing plays inside the five-yard line in Week 1, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. He may not be the team’s goal-line back.
Tuten brings a nice blend of power and speed to the table. He could be the team’s preferred option close to the endzone.
There was also a recent report suggesting Tuten will be more involved in Week 2.

These are good odds to take a stab at Tuten finding the endzone. He could be the team’s goal-line back, but he can also score from anywhere on the field.
Brashard Smith Anytime Touchdown (+650) Bet365 Sportbook
Risk .2 Units to Win 1.3 Units
It seems pretty clear that Kansas City is set to utilize a running back by committee approach this season. This matches a trend that began last year. Smith surprisingly saw some action with the first team last week. With second-year receiver Xavier Worthy trending toward missing Week 2, Smith could have an expanded role as a pass-catcher.
We’ve seen Kansas City scheme unique passing plays around the goal line many times in the past. Smith could be utilized in such fashion and might be live to find the endzone if Kansas City is in a position to do so. This is worth a small sprinkle at this price.
