Best NFL Player Props for Eagles vs. Bears
Here are my top player prop bets, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 PM ET on Monday, September 28th:
- Case Keenum Over/Under 167.5 Passing Yards
- Makai Lemon Over/Under 28.5 Receiving Yards
- E.J. Jenkins Over/Under 0.5 Receiving Touchdowns
Case Keenum OVER 167.5 Passing Yards (-113, FanDuel)
FANDUELLast time we saw Keenum, he struggled mightily against a dominant Cleveland pass defense in 2023. Understandably, there don’t appear to be many people buying any Keenum stock for tonight’s game against the Eagles – a team that has a perception of being a dominant pass defense.
The numbers tell a different story in 2026, though. Philadelphia has allowed the 13th-highest rate of explosive pass plays through 2 games, despite facing Jayden Daniels and Cam Ward – neither of whom is a top-tier quarterback.
Keenum will be in an extremely quarterback-friendly system in Week 3. Philadelphia doesn’t have any recent tape on him, either, which could give Keenum some element of surprise effect. This is a low number for any starter – he could clear this with a strong performance or with a healthy amount of passing yards in garbage time.
Makai Lemon UNDER 28.5 Receiving Yards (-114, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSLemon has been a non-factor early in 2026. Facing Tennessee, he had a 2.5% target rate per route run, which was behind DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and Darius Cooper among wideouts. Lemon didn’t record a single first-read target, either.
Lemon missed time during the summer with a hamstring injury and appears to be struggling to get caught up to speed after missing valuable training camp reps. He’s buried on the depth chart right now, and even the absence of Dallas Goedert last week didn’t earn Lemon more looks.
E.J. Jenkins OVER 0.5 Touchdowns (+2500, FanDuel)
FANDUELJenkins isn’t going to be a popular pick to score a touchdown on Monday Night Football. His only career reception came in 2024, and he has only 1 target in 132 career offensive snaps.
Tight end Zach Ertz is expected to be activated from the practice squad for this evening’s game, which is getting all of the attention. However, Ertz suffered a severe torn ACL and LCL last December, which likely limits his workload against Chicago.
After starting tight end Dallas Goedert sprained his MCL against the Titans in Week 2, it was Johnny Mundt and Jenkins who were the primary players at the position running routes. However, Mundt has been more of a blocker throughout his career. Jenkins was used out wide frequently in the second half against Tennessee – potentially foreshadowing some involvement in the team’s passing attack in Week 3.
Bettors could do worse if looking for a longshot on Monday.
