Jahnke: Best 2022 Week 2 player props bets

Bet on New England Patriots RB Damien Harris as a receiver: Harris was used more as a receiver in Week 1 than most weeks late last season and could see more third-down snaps against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Smash the under on Noah Fant’s receiving props: The Seattle Seahawks have used a three-man rotation at tight end, making it hard to trust any of them to see enough receiving production.
Trust Miami Dolphins starting TE Durham Smythe to catch at least a pass or two: He’s not the primary receiving tight end, but he should see enough pass routes to gain double-digit receiving yards.
2022 record: 1-2.

Harris ran the second-most routes for the Patriots running backs last week with 10. In that time, he caught both passes thrown his way for 10 yards.
Harris has averaged 7.8 yards per reception over the last two seasons, making it reasonable for him to gain the necessary yards in one reception.
He was the only running back other than Ty Montgomery to play on third downs.
The Patriots didn’t have a two-minute drill in Week 1, which also hurt the number of receptions the running backs had in general.
Montgomery is now on injured reserve, leaving the third down role wide open.
He faces a Steelers defense that was average last season in allowing receiving yards to running backs.
