First-Quarter Player Props — NFL Week 9, 2026

DraftKings, ESPN BET and Hard Rock have posted 15 first-quarter player props across 2 week-9 games so far. Each one below sits beside the player's 2025 first-quarter average and how often he cleared that exact number. The widest gap between the price and last season's rate: Sam Darnold under 50.5 passing yards — he went under that number in 11 of 17 games last season (65%), and the price implies 47%.

"Cleared it" counts 2025 regular-season games where the player's first-quarter total beat today's line — the number the book is asking about, not a season average. Rate is that share of games; implied is the over price converted to a probability; gap is rate minus implied. Small samples (under 8 games) deserve less weight. Lines captured 2026-11-03 01:13 UTC.

FAQ

Which NFL players have first-quarter props posted for week 9?

DraftKings, ESPN BET and Hard Rock have 15 Q1 player yardage lines up across 2 games: passing, rushing and receiving yards in the first quarter. Books post these close to kickoff, so the list grows through the week.

How do you evaluate a first-quarter prop?

Against the player's own first-quarter history: his 2025 Q1 average and how often he cleared this exact line, from play-by-play. That rate is compared to the probability the price implies. A positive gap means last season's rate beat the price.

Methodology: first-quarter yardage is yards gained on plays snapped in Q1, from nflverse play-by-play, 2025 regular season; lines are DraftKings first-quarter markets captured by our own snapshot. Updated 2026-11-04.
