2024 AFC North Player Prop Bets
With the NFC all wrapped up, it’s time we head on over to the Super Bowl-winning conference, the AFC. The offseason is quickly coming to a close as we are only ONE DAY out from the NFL Kickoff! The final chapter of the offseason is not just a great time for fantasy football, but it’s the perfect time to find value in the NFL betting markets. It’s time to put our projections to the test and our money where our mouth is!
The NFL Futures Player Props Series continues on with the AFC North. This is a division with four contending teams that all have passionate rivalries with each other. This is a hard-nosed division that is going to run right at you and dare you to stop them. Here are my top four prop bets for the AFC North.

Zack Moss Over 700.5 Rush Yards (-115)
The AFC North best bets article kicks off with a number that has dropped in the offseason. Now this makes no sense to me but there are A LOT of people out there calling for the RB2 Chase Brown to take over.
I do not buy the Chase Brown hype train. If he was such a good player, then why was he so infrequently used last season?
Now, the hype train I can get behind is for RB Zack Moss. Moss shined last season when given the RB1 opportunity. In fact, he averaged over 110 rush yards per week in the first four games.
For a team that produced a 1,000-yard rusher last season, I see no problems with Moss hitting this number. I will gladly take Bengals RB Zack Moss OVER 700.5 Rush Yards at -115.
Najee Harris 1000+ Rush Yards +180
The article continues with a player who has had an impressive start to their career. Not only have they never missed an NFL game but they also have never rushed for less than 1,000 yards.
This leads me to back RB Najee Harris to simply continue with what he has been doing. I also think the addition of Arthur Smith will lead to the run game getting more opportunities. The Steelers also spent some draft capital this season in helping to rebuild their offensive line.
All of these factors lead me to take Steelers RB Najee Harris’ 1000+ Rush Yards at +180.

Deshaun Watson Under 3300.5 Pass Yards (-135)
This next line makes absolutely no sense to me. Deshaun Watson has proven the notion that a player does not get better at football by not playing football. Over the past several seasons, the only thing consistent has been his Watson finding ways to NOT be on the field.
In fact, Browns QB Deshaun Watson has not had a productive NFL season since 2020. Coming off a season-ending shoulder injury, Watson has already had to miss time this offseason due to “arm soreness”. The Browns also run a rush-dominant offensive approach.
For these reasons, I will be fading Deshaun Watson and taking his UNDER 3300.5 Pass Yards at -135.
Mark Andrews Over 800.5 Receiving Yards +100
We wrap up this AFC North article with another player returning from injury. Baltimore TE Mark Andrews returns healthy this 2024 season with a much-improved outlook.
Andrews suffered a high ankle sprain with a fibula fracture midseason. This injury comes with a typical 2-3 month recovery timeline. Thankfully, Andrews has over nine months of recovery time until NFL Week 1. He will be a full go from the first snap of this upcoming season.
Let’s not forget that Andrews is Lamar’s favorite target and the WR1 of this team when healthy. He was coming off back-to-back 100-target seasons before his injury last year. With only really WR Zay Flowers as true target competition, I expect Andrews to return to his previous production.
Baltimore TE Mark Andrews is a man on a mission this season. I will happily take his OVER 800.5 Rec Yards at +100.
