2 Best NFL Player Props for MNF: Rams vs Giants

Week 2’s NFL slate closes out with Los Angeles trying to avoid a 0-2 start in Rams vs Giants.

Sean McVay’s team lost 27-7 in Melbourne against the 49ers. It leaves the preseason Super Bowl favorite last in the NFC West.

Meanwhile, the Giants started 1-0 with a SNF victory over the Cowboys. The win leaves John Harbaugh’s team as one of two NFC East teams to start 1-0.

Beyond side, total and moneyline markets, bettors also have access to myriad player props. Below, I’ve outlined my best player prop predictions for the showcase based on NFL odds.

Rams vs Giants Predictions: MNF Player Props

Blake Corum Over 48.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

I’m selling the idea that the Giants’ run defense is suddenly fixed. Sure, the unit held Javonte Williams to 41 yards on 12 attempts, but the Rams’ rushing attack is markedly better.

Last season, Dallas ranked ninth in rush offense DVOA at -1.2%. The Rams led the NFL in the metric at a +17.4% rating.

Corum himself enjoyed a strong record against this benchmark toward the tail end of last year.

Since Week 7 of the 2025 season, Corum cleared this line eight times in 14 games (playoffs included). Last week, he rushed for 54 yards on 10 attempts with a 10-yard longest attempt.

Most impressive about Corum’s performance against the 49ers? He cleared this line despite only 14 offensive snaps. It’s his lowest snap count in a game since Week 6 of last year.

Now, the Rams are well rested for MNF against a struggling rush defense. Last year, New York ranked 32nd in rush defense DVOA, per FTN Fantasy.

Only once all year did the Giants play a top-five rushing attack. In Chicago, the defense allowed 80 yards to D’Andre Swift.

Matthew Stafford Under 32.5 Pass Attempts (-125)

Stafford attempted only 25 passes in Los Angeles’ 27-7 loss to the Niners. Starting the game as a seven-point favorite, Los Angeles already profiles as a more run-heavy team.

Two additional concerns lead me to question if Stafford clears a high line. First, Puka Nacua popped up on Friday’s injury report, leaving his game status in question.

Second, Stafford struggled last season against man-heavy coverage schemes. In Week 1, the Giants ran that scheme at the third-highest rate in the league.

In 2025, Stafford ranked 20th in EPA per dropback compared to ninth in DVOA against man. Additionally, only one Rams receiver – Nacua – posted explosive metrics against the scheme.

Nacua finished as the only Rams pass catcher ranked 10th or better in yards per route run vs. man. Next closest is Davante Adams, who finished 40th in the NFL.

The final element of this prediction is the Giants’ presumed game plan on offense. My expectation is that New York tries to run the ball and shorten the game as lofty dogs.

If they do so successfully, it leaves less time for Stafford to rack up pass attempts. Accordingly, I predict he stays under this line on Monday.
