2024 NFL betting - Preseason props that pop on Bryce Young and more - ESPN

Fantasy fans are a passionate bunch. We love planting flags (sometimes more than seeing them). Whether it's drawing up a list of «my guys» or committing to memory our «never again(s),» the excitement of an upcoming season always results in forming strong opinions.

Prop bets can work as an outlet for these fervent fantasy feelings. They allow managers to double down on enthusiastic takes while also providing potential context for a player's season-long projection.

What needs to happen for quarterbacks to reach their passing yards totals? What can running backs do to improve on last season's rushing lines? Will new offensive systems cause pass catchers to fall short of expectations, or exceed them?

Vegas has questions, we have answers.

Here are our favorite preseason props that pop.

It's hard to hype a player who finished close to the bottom in nearly every passing stat last year. For bettors, however, that means up is the only way to go.

Every aspect of Young's surroundings has improved heading into 2024. Carolina bolstered its offensive line with two signings, adding Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis. The team also gifted Young two playmakers, acquiring a true X receiver in Diontae Johnson and drafting the speedy Xavier Legette (4.39) in the first round. The most notable investment in Young's potential, however, was the hiring of head coach Dave Canales. Lauded as a «quarterback whisperer» because of his success turning around the careers of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, Canales could be key to unlocking Young's potential.

These are big changes.
