NFL Week 9 player props for Sunday's slate include notable lines on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins, and Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. Purdy, who has thrown 15 touchdowns in seven games, carries an over/under of 245.5 passing yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. He has surpassed that mark in four of his last six outings, and the Raiders defense allows 381.9 yards per game, ranking 30th in the league. The SportsLine Projection Model forecasts Purdy for 268.9 passing yards on average.
Collins faces the Los Angeles Chargers with an under of 64.5 receiving yards. After posting just six yards on two catches in a loss to the New York Giants on October 25, he has recorded 56 or fewer yards in two of his past three games. The Chargers, despite an 0-7 record, limit opponents to 198.4 passing yards per game, the seventh-fewest in the NFL. The projection model expects Collins to average 45.1 receiving yards.
Nix is listed under 32.5 pass attempts versus the Carolina Panthers. He has attempted 29 or fewer passes in three of his last four games, and Denver may lean on its ground game against a Panthers defense that yields 140.7 rushing yards per game, 30th in the league. Carolina's pass defense allows 208.9 yards per game, a top-10 figure. The model projects Nix to finish with 28.9 pass attempts.
