The NFL caps off an action-packed Sunday with the Houston Texans hosting the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football at NRG Stadium.
Below are our favorite Bears vs. Texans player props for Sunday Night Football in Week, 2 including C.J. Stroud and Caleb Williams prop bets:
Best Bears vs. Texans Player Props for Week 2 Sunday Night Football: C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Caleb Williams props & more
Stroud threw for a modest 234 yards in the season-opening win against the Colts despite the high-scoring, close game.
The Texans are relatively large home favorites and Joe Mixon could therefore once again be heavily involved. A talented Bears pass defense also limited Will Levis to 127 passing yards and picked him off twice in Week 1.
The Texans got their money’s worth out of Mixon in the veteran back’s team debut, as he garnered 30 carries.
That workload isn’t advisable weekly for a 28-year-old rusher, but in a game where Houston is clearly favored, we don’t see why Mixon can’t get to at least 18 carries as the Texans grind things out and limit Stroud’s dropbacks.

Williams wasn’t a prolific college rusher yardage-wise, but he did score a whopping 27 rushing TDs over three seasons at USC.
The Texans proved vulnerable to a big-bodied rushing QB in Anthony Richardson in Week 1, and we can see Matt Eberflus affording Williams a shot at his first pro rushing TD when Chicago gets close.
Moore turned five catches into only 36 yards in Week 1, albeit on a robust eight targets.
Fellow wideouts Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) are both questionable, but at least one should play. Nevertheless, the opportunity should be there for Moore to rack up even more looks against a Texans secondary that was shaky in Week 1.
