Atlanta just defeated the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 6, as the Falcons were outgained 289 to 346 yards, but were +3 in turnovers during the 28-14 victory. Over its previous four contests, Atlanta is 3-1, as QB Marcus Mariota has taken hold of this offense.
After a slow start of their own, the Bengals' record over their previous four contests is 3-1 as they look to improve this week back at home. Last Sunday, Cincinnati defeated the New Orleans Saints 30-26 thanks to quarterback Joe Burrow's 300 yards and three touchdown passes.
Let's dive into my player prop picks for this Week 7 NFL game between the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atlanta Falcons.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atlanta Falcons Best Player Prop Picks
- Tee Higgins - Longest Reception Over 17.5 (-115)
- Ja'Marr Chase - Receiving Yards Over 79.5 (-115)
- Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Marcus Mariota (+270)
(Odds via DraftKings)
Tee Higgins - Longest Reception Over 17.5 (-115) (Bet $100 to collect $186)
Battling an injury to start the season, Higgins returned last week and largely looked like himself throughout the day for the first time. The one thing he has not lacked, however, is explosiveness, as he comes into this one averaging 13.9 yards per catch even in his limited capacity this season.
Facing a porous Falcons secondary in this spot, I like for Higgins to break one over 20+ yards on his way to a strong day on the stats sheet.
Ja'Marr Chase - Receiving Yards Over 79.5 (-115) (Bet $100 to collect $186)
With 475 yards on the season through six games, Chase has been good but has lacked the monster performance we saw on occasion last season. As Burrow begins to get his swag back following a September post-Super Bowl slump, I look for that to change ASAP.
He now draws an Atlanta defense that ranks 31st in the league in allowed passing yards at 281.2 per game. Overall their offense is allowing 385 yards per game, as they continually look to their offense to keep up in shootouts. While they might be able to once again here against a middle-of-the-road Cinci defense, I like for Chase and Burrow to benefit and sail over this total.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Marcus Mariota (+270) (Bet $100 to collect $370)
With three touchdowns last week (one on the ground), Mariota earned himself NFC Offensive Player of the Week as he is quietly turning in a stellar season in Atlanta. Mariota has benefited from one of the league’s best offensive lines, who to this point, have powered the #3 rushing attack in the league averaging 165.2 yards per game.
Averaging 4.8 yards per rush on the season and already having ran for three touchdowns, I like for him to get a fourth in this one as he takes advantage of a banged-up Bengals front seven in Cinci.
