Monday Night Football closes out NFL Week 7 with an NFC East rivalry game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Both teams enter at 2-4 and desperately need a win, creating an intriguing environment for player props. With Tanner McKee making his second start and both offenses possessing several players capable of producing big numbers, these are four of the best bets to consider.

Tanner McKee over 0.5 passing touchdowns
The first bet is on Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee to throw at least one touchdown against Dallas. McKee struggled in his first start against Carolina, but Philadelphia is expecting him to be more comfortable after getting a full week of preparation ahead of Monday night’s rivalry matchup. The Eagles themselves have emphasized the importance of McKee spreading the football around and making quick, decisive decisions.
Dallas’ defense has struggled throughout the season, which creates an opportunity for McKee to find the end zone through the air. Dallas Goedert will be particularly important for McKee with DeVonta Smith ruled out. Goedert has caught 12 of 17 targets over his last two games for 99 yards.
CeeDee Lamb over 5.5 receptions
CeeDee Lamb over 5.5 receptions is another strong option. Lamb remains the centerpiece of a Dallas passing attack that also features George Pickens, and the Cowboys could lean heavily on their top receivers against an Eagles defense that has dealt with injuries.
Lamb led Dallas with 70 receiving yards last week and has continued to command significant attention in the Cowboys’ offense. With Dak Prescott expected to keep throwing, six receptions is a realistic target for one of the NFL’s most heavily involved wide receivers.
Dallas Goedert over 39.5 receiving yards
Goedert’s receiving-yardage line is another appealing play, particularly because Philadelphia needs him to become one of McKee’s primary safety valves. Goedert is coming off a six-catch, 61-yard performance against Carolina and has totaled 99 yards on 12 catches over his last two games.
His role could become even more important with DeVonta Smith unavailable and the other pass catchers not nearly as established.
Ryan Flournoy over 24.5 receiving yards
Flournoy is the number three wide receiver in Dallas, but he still seems to get targets with the team seemingly always playing from behind.
There is some risk because CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens dominate the Cowboys’ target share; however, Flournoy gets good matchups against opposing defenses and only needs 2-3 catches to reach this prop. With so much attention going to Lamb and Pickens, expect Flournoy to get the opportunity to make plays.
