Will Justin Jefferson hit the 100-yard mark in receiving yards? Oddsmakers think he ll come close as the Vikings WR has the highest receiving prop of 91.5 yards this week.
Best Receiving Props to Bet for Wild Card Weekend
1) George Kittle over 3.5 receptions (-160); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook
Betting George Kittle to exceed his Wild Card Weekend props looks like a must-play. His receptions props are set at just 3.5, a total that he s exceeded in five-straight games. He s also caught four or more passes in 10/15 total games this season.
No team has allowed more yards (1,115) to tight ends this season than the Seahawks, meaning Brock Purdy should be looking Kittle s way often on Saturday.
George Kittle’s last two games vs. Seattle:
🏈 13 Receptions
🏈 274 Rec. Yards
🏈 4 Touchdowns

2) Justin Jefferson over 6.5 receptions (-155); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook
Justin Jefferson has had two really down weeks to end the season finishing with just four and one receptions, for 38 and 15 yards. But prior to that, he had games with 12, 12, 11, 7 and 9 catches.
Last week the Vikings got ahead early on Chicago and there was really no need to push the ball to Jefferson as he only saw five targets. In Week 17, the entire Vikings team served up a dud in a 41-17 blowout loss.
Week 16 though, Jefferson saw 16 targets for 12 catches, 133 yards and a score against this same Giants team.
That game saw plenty of passing from both teams as Kirk Cousins threw the ball 48 times and Daniel Jones 42. Of Cousins 48 pass attempts that game, 32 went to either Jefferson or TJ Hockenson. Any sort of similar game script should see Jefferson easily make seven catches.
3) TJ Hockenson over 4.5 receptions (-125); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook
So along the same logic that we ve used for our Jefferson prop, it stands to reason that TJ Hockenson should also be a strong play for our Wild Card Weekend props.
He too had a down game in Week 18 for prop players, but he only saw and caught one pass. Even in Minnesota s beat down from the Packers, Hock caught 7/12 passes. Take out last week when he only saw that one pass, and he s gone over 4.5 receptions in seven of his other nine games with the Vikings.
