College Football Player Props Week 2: Predictions, Picks for This Weekend

After a strong opening weekend for the 2023 campaign, it's time to dive into our favorite player props for Week 2 based on the best NCAAF odds.

Week 1 was a resounding success for the debut of this college football player props column. We went 3-1 on our best bets, which included a 3-0 start to the season that began with a nice juicy +134 payout. We will certainly take +2.19 units any week this season.

While I can't guarantee the same level of success for the rest of the year, it was nice to get off on the right foot. This weekly column will continue to focus on the process and finding different betting angles for a full college football slate every weekend.

So, I would suggest you bookmark this page as we add our favorite player props for Week 2 throughout the week.

Here are our best college football player props for Week 2 (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

College football player props for Week 2

Daniel Hishaw Jr. anytime touchdown scorer (+240 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐

Touchdowns can be fluky, so there is no guarantee that Kansas running back Daniel Hishaw Jr. will find paydirt for the second week in a row. We are simply taking advantage of a line that is mispriced as of this writing.

All four running backs scored in KU's 48-17 win over Missouri State during the season opener, led by a two-touchdown effort from starting running back Devin Neal, who is going to be playing at the next level in the near future.

But it was Hishaw who earned No. 2 running back duties, receiving two carries as early as the first quarter. Dylan McDuffie eventually scored on his first attempt in the third quarter, while Sevion Morrison recorded all eight of his rushing attempts in the fourth.

Despite this clear pecking order in the Kansas running back room, BetMGM is favoring Morrison (+115) and McDuffie (+200) in the anytime touchdown market. This has created value on Hishaw, who appears to be the primary backup after handling that role last year before an injury cut his season short.

Hishaw, who is the team's go-to option in short-yardage situations, scored in all five games he appeared in last year. He even recorded two rushing touchdowns in a Week 2 win over West Virginia, a feat he has +750 odds to repeat via FanDuel's touchdown market. FanDuel has actually priced Hishaw at +130 to score in what could be an offensive shootout on Friday - at least that's what we are projecting in our favorite Illinois vs. Kansas prediction.

Let's have a little more action on points by taking advantage of this price on Hishaw to notch a TD. If you are feeling even more bold, Hishaw's first touchdown odds of 18/1 could even be worth a sprinkle.
