Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will make his first career NFL start when the Atlanta Falcons host the New York Giants on Sunday. Veteran Kirk Cousins was benched after throwing just one touchdown and nine interceptions over his last five games. Penix will face a New York defense that is giving up 200.4 passing yards per game this season, the seventh-fewest in the NFL. According to the latest Week 16 NFL player prop odds, the rookie quarterback's over/under for total passing yards is 220.5 at FanDuel, while counterpart Drew Lock of the Giants is at 198.5. Should Penix be included in your Week 16 NFL prop picks, or should you target another rookie like Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye with your Week 16 NFL player props?

Running back: Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: 21.5 receiving yards
Robinson has eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in a season for the first time in his career, but he's also been a weapon as a pass catcher. He's hauled in 54 receptions for 411 yards this season, averaging 7.6 yards per catch. He's eclipsed this number in six of his last eight games and he'll be a consistent check-down option for rookie Michael Penix Jr., who's making his first career start in the NFL.
