Plenty of player props are available today, where the Miami Dolphins will take on the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota comes in hot, and they're up to 4-1 and sit atop the NFC North division. Miami has had injury woes at quarterback over the last couple of weeks, but they'll welcome back starting QB Tua Tagovailoa, who just cleared concussion protocols. Below, we'll go through the best player props for this matchup.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Miami Dolphins Match Details
Fixture: Minnesota Vikings @ Miami Dolphins
Date & Time: Sunday, October 16, 1:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida
NFL Player Prop #1: Kirk Cousin Over 34.5 Passing Attempts (-108)
Kirk Cousins currently averages 39.6 passing attempts per game, and he's attempted 38 or more in each of the past four weeks. Cousins has thrown a few more picks than the Vikings would prefer, but he has several weapons to throw to that make his life easier. Star receiver Justin Jefferson is in the conversation for best receiver in the league, and Adam Thielen and KJ Osborn see a decent amount of action as well. Look for Cousins to again attempt a lot of passes against a Dolphins defense that spends more time on the field than their offense.

NFL Player Prop #2: Jaylen Waddle Over 48.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Jaylen Waddle averages up at 80.8 receiving yards per game despite being very quiet the last two weeks. Of course, Tagovailoa missed last week's game against the Jets and got injured during the game versus the Bengals. Now that Tua is back expect him to target Waddle quite frequently again, as the Alabama wideout had seen an average of ten targets per game after the first three weeks.

NFL Player Prop #3: Tyreek Hill Over 5.5 Receptions (+104)
Tyreek Hill enters Sunday's game seeing ten targets per game and 7.6 receptions per game. The only game where he didn't finish with at least seven catches was against the Bills, who have arguably the best defense in the league. Today, expect him to get at least six against a Vikings defense that gives up more passing yards than league average.
