The Chicago Bears are looking for their first win as they host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3.
The Bears kept it close in a 27-24 Week 1 loss to the Vikings before a 52-21 blowout loss in Detroit last week. Meanwhile, the Cowboys won a back-and-forth affair over the Giants, 40-37, last week after a 24-20 loss in Philadelphia to open the season.
Here are my Cowboys vs. Bears NFL player props for Sunday, September 21.

Cowboys vs Bears props
- CeeDee Lamb Over 6.5 receptions (+104 at FanDuel)
- DJ Moore Over 4.5 receptions (+108 at FanDuel)
- Caleb Williams Over 26.5 rushing yards (-114 at FanDuel)
Prop bet #1: CeeDee Lamb Over 6.5 receptions
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is well on his way to his fourth straight 100-catch season. He leads Dallas with 16 catches on 24 targets, racking up 222 yards in the process.
Lamb has received double-digit targets in each of the first two games of the season, 13 against Philly and 11 vs. the Giants, with seven and nine catches in those contests, respectively.
There is no reason that those types of numbers shouldn’t continue this week against the Chicago Bears.
The Cowboys wideout had at least seven catches in eight of 15 games last season, and the Bears gave up nine catches to Amon-Ra St. Brown last week. Look for Lamb to be targeted early and often in Week 3.
Prop bet #2: DJ Moore Over 4.5 receptions
On the other side, we have Bears wideout DJ Moore. While second-year receiver Rome Odunze leads the way with 13 catches on 20 targets, Moore has held his own with eight catches on 11 targets through two weeks.
The Vikings held Moore in check with three catches on five targets in Week 1, but he was able to get up to five catches on six targets last week in Detroit.
This should be a high-scoring game with the total set at 50, and Moore should be in on the action for Chicago. The Cowboys gave up eight catches to Wan’Dale Robinson and nine to Malik Nabers last week.
Finally, Moore had at least five catches in 12 of 17 games last season, making it 13 of 19 including this year’s first two contests.
Prop bet #3: Caleb Williams Over 26.5 rushing yards
The jury is still out on Caleb Williams as a quarterback, especially in the passing category, but he’s been able to use his legs early on this year. He’s rushed for 85 yards on 11 carries this season after running for 489 yards on 81 attempts during his rookie campaign.
The Cowboys have already played against two quarterbacks who can run, allowing 62 yards to Jalen Hurts in Week 1 (his rushing total was set at 39.5) and 23 yards to Russell Wilson last week (his line was set at 15.5).
Williams had at least 27 rushing yards in 10 of 17 games last season, and each of the first two games this year. If his struggles continue under center, he’ll need to use his legs once again to find offense
