          Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us. Sure, you can bet on the spreads and over/unders for games, but don't forget about player props.

          Each week of the 2021 NFL season, I will review every individual player prop available via our partners at Caesars Sportsbook and pick out my favorite plays. This week's best bets are listed below in no particular order.

          For thoughts on player-prop strategy, check out our recent staff roundtable on the topic.
