How do Rushing Yards Props Work?

The rushing props are where the running backs get to shine. The categories for rushing props are basically the same as the passing props for the QBs, but there are typically fewer to choose from. You can bet the over/under on rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, longest rush, and also rushing + receiving yards combined.

Rushing props revolve around the performance of a running back. But they are heavily impacted by the other offensive and defensive players on the field. Here is where our advanced player prop tools come in
