After watching Week 1 action, we’ve got a much better idea of how each player will fit with their new team. We also have a better idea of each player’s role with their new team.

I’m sure many of you were shocked to see certain players on different teams. It’s so hard to keep up unless you’re dialed in during the off-season.

That said, I’ve added the best college football player props for Week 2 below. With some stats after Week 1, it’ll only get easier to find value within our NCAAF odds.

Let’s get after it!

Arch Manning: Under 286.5 Passing Yards: (-114) at Bovada

San Jose State vs. Texas, September 06, 2025 – 12:00 PM EDT

Arch Manning made his season debut with the Texas Longhorns last weekend and failed miserably.

He completed just 17-of-30 and gained 170 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. He averaged 5.7 yards an attempt and missed a lot of “easy” throws.

San Jose State isn’t going to beat Texas. They won’t even be close. Ultimately, the Longhorns will try and run it down San Jose’s throat, and Arch probably won’t even play the fourth quarter.

Gabe Burkle: Under 33.5 Receiving Yards (-114) at Bovada

Iowa vs. Iowa State, September 06, 12:00 PM EDT

Through two games, Gabe Burkle of Iowa State has added seven receptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. He’s got a long catch of 44 yards, but has only hit this prop once in two games. 

This weekend, he’s set to face his most difficult challenge yet. Iowa State is facing the Iowa Hawkeyes, who have an incredible defense all around. Iowa is known for its defense and just held Albany to seven points and 177 total yards of offense

Last season, Burkle caught one ball for six yards against Iowa. He’s got a bigger role this season, but the point remains. Iowa isn’t going to give up many big plays to Iowa State. In fact, this game typically goes under the total and is usually underwhelming.

Justice Haynes: Over 64.5 Rushing Yards (-114) at Bovada

Michigan vs. Oklahoma, September 06, 2025 – 07:30 PM EDT

The whole world is talking about Bryce Underwood and his potential. But did nobody watch Justice Haynes run for the Wolverines?

The junior rusher tallied 9.9 yards a rush against New Mexico and earned 159 yards with three touchdowns in Michigan’s opening win. Haynes had a long rush of 59 yards and got the ball 16 times, despite the game being closer than it should have been.

While he’s set to face an improved Oklahoma defense, let’s not forget that Michigan is still using a true freshman at quarterback. Haynes will get many reps, and with the way he ran the ball against New Mexico, I wouldn’t be surprised if he broke out for a lot of yards against Oklahoma this weekend.

I’ll gladly take Haynes to add at least 65 rushing yards in this one. That’s very doable for the junior breakout star.
