This time last year, Joe Burrow&#8217;s waterbottle-gate was in full swing. Now, he&#8217;s favored to lead the league in passing yards and touchdowns again. Yards, touchdowns, and interceptions are all available on major sports books. These aren&#8217;t just the favorites, but the best bets given their longer odds.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bets for Quarterback Player Props<\/h2>\n<h3>Lead the League in Passing Touchdowns &#8211; Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys +1500<\/h3>\n<p>After the Micah Parsons trade, the Dallas defense is a limp noodle trying to stop a bullet train. They&#8217;ll need to seriously address it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/08\/28\/2026-dallas-cowboys-mock-draft-following-micah-parsons-trade\/\" target=\"_self\">2026 NFL Draft<\/a>, but until then, it&#8217;s the Dak Prescott show. Dak was the league leader in passing touchdowns in his last healthy season, and now he has <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/07\/george-pickens-dynasty-outlook-following-cowboys-trade\/\" target=\"_self\">George Pickens<\/a> to toss the ball to. Healthy, new weapons, no running game behind him, the stage is set for a big Dak Prescott season.<\/p>\n<p>With Prescott&#8217;s proven ability and situation around him, it shouldn&#8217;t shock anyone if he wins this player prop among quarterbacks in 2025.<\/p>\n<h4>Honorable Mention &#8211; Tua Tagovailoa +2700<\/h4>\n<p>He&#8217;s definitely not running them in on his own and has three of the best weapons in the league between <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/tag\/tyreek-hill\/\" target=\"_self\">Tyreek Hill<\/a>, Jaylen Waddle, and De&#8217;Von Achane. The offseason expectations around the Dolphins are low, but there have been bigger surprises.<\/p>\n<h3>Lead the League in Passing Yards &#8211; Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs +800<\/h3>\n<p>We haven&#8217;t seen an angry Mahomes in a couple of years. The Super Bowl blowout likely lit a fire underneath him, and there are only four active quarterbacks who have <a  href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_NFL_quarterbacks_with_5,000_passing_yards_in_a_season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thrown for 5,000 yards in a season<\/a>. Matthew Stafford isn&#8217;t likely to do it with his back injury and at this stage of his career. Justin Herbert is hamstrung by the Greg Roman offense. Last but certainly not least, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/tag\/jameis-winston\/\" target=\"_self\">Jameis Winston<\/a> would be the funniest possible person to lead the league in passing yards, but the Giants are having more fun with the Russell Wilson to Jaxson Dart transfer plan.<\/p>\n<p>So Mahomes has the motivation, the means, and the weapons to do it. At third-best odds, he&#8217;s worth a swing.<\/p>\n<h4>Honorable Mention &#8211; J.J. McCarthy +2500<\/h4>\n<p>What if J.J. McCarthy is better than Sam Darnold? What if Kevin O&#8217;Connell is truly a wizard? It&#8217;s unlikely, but it&#8217;s priced in.<\/p>\n<h3>Lead the League in Interceptions &#8211; Josh Allen +2000<\/h3>\n<p>Finding the interception leader is walking a fine line. They need to have the job security that they won&#8217;t be benched if it starts going poorly. That crosses off anyone in a quarterback competition, or with a fairly exciting rookie behind them. They also have to have the playstyle that they&#8217;re willing to risk it for the biscuit.<\/p>\n<p>Allen is Superman, for better or for worse. There&#8217;s no world where he is benched, and the weapons around him aren&#8217;t separating enough that he can play it safe and still move the ball.<\/p>\n<h4>Honorable Mention &#8211; Drake Maye +1600<\/h4>\n<p>The Patriots need to see what they have in Maye, so he&#8217;s stuck out there no matter what. He threw ten interceptions in 11 full games last season, and most of the NFL world is expecting a step forward, but there&#8217;s always a chance he doesn&#8217;t take it.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/08\/29\/best-bets-for-rookie-season-long-props-on-fanduel\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More &#8211; Rookie Prop Bets 2025<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><b><i>21+ Please Gamble Responsibly.
