SportsLine expert Alex Selesnick (aka PropStarz) enters the 2026 NFL season on a 68-55 run. Now, he has revealed his top prop picks for NFL Week 1


All signs point to Buccaneers receiver Emeka Egbuka, who has been dealing with a toe injury since mid-August, not being limited for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals.
The second year receiver, who led the team in receptions (63), receiving yards (938) and receiving touchdowns (six) last season, practiced fully once again on Friday. That completed a good week for Egbuka, who was on the practice field on Monday and fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday as well.
With Egbuka in line to play on Sunday, sportsbooks have set his receiving yards total at 52.5.
NFL props expert Alex Selesnick, who went 68-55 with his prop picks last season, has landed on one side of the total. It is one of four props he has identified for this weekend's NFL action.
