Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson has been lighting up the league, but Minnesota will face a top-10 defense when it hosts the Kansas City Chiefs in NFL Week 5. That is one of 12 games on the Week 5 NFL schedule on Sunday, a slate that offers plenty of wagering opportunities for NFL props. Jefferson leads the NFL in receiving yards with 543 and is averaging 99.4 per game over his three-plus seasons. The Chiefs are allowing 190 passing yards per game (eighth in NFL), but the latest NFL prop bets list the over/under on Jefferson's receiving yards at a sky-high 104.5.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' passing yards total is 293.5 in the NFL player props, while Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes' number is 291.5. There is plenty of value in the many NFL props available in the Week 5 NFL odds.

Top 2023 Week 5 NFL prop picks
One NFL Week 5 prop play PropStarz loves for Sunday is Titans running back Derrick Henry over 75.5 rushing yards. Indianapolis' defense ranks 23rd against the run, giving up 126 yards per game, and Henry has run all over them. The eighth-year Tennessee workhorse has topped 100 yards in seven of the past eight meetings. He also comes off his best game of the season, a 22-carry, 122-yard effort in a 27-3 victory against the Bengals in Week 4.
"The big man looked like vintage Henry last week," PropStarz told SportsLine. The expert points specifically to Henry's 29-yard touchdown run, when he "showed off his signature explosiveness" in breaking several tackles and outrunning the Bengals' defense. Henry is averaging 2.7 yards per carry, but is at 4.3 in the two games in which he topped 20 attempts. Henry needs the ball and should get it against the Colts, with the Titans' pass game struggling.
