Best NFL Player Props for the Super Bowl
Here are my top player prop bets for Super Bowl LX:
- Stefon Diggs Over/Under 44.5 Receiving Yards
- Drake Maye Over/Under 36.5 Rushing Yards
- Kyle Williams Over/Under 39.5 Receiving Yards
Stefon Diggs OVER 44.5 Receiving Yards (-114, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSDuring the regular season, Diggs was Drake Maye’s favorite target against zone coverage, leading the team with 60 receptions and 703 receiving yards. He also led all New England pass catchers with an 11.6% first-read target% and 48 first downs, indicating that he was having plays called for him and he was delivering in key situations.
This profiles as a great matchup for Diggs against a zone-heavy Seattle defense. It wouldn’t be overly surprising to see him lead all players in receiving yards on Sunday.
Drake Maye UNDER 36.5 Rushing Yards (-115, bet365)
BET365Maye has used his legs a lot during this postseason, but he might find fewer escape lanes in the Super Bowl against Seattle’s zone-heavy defense. Even if Maye gets outside the pocket, it’s no guarantee that he will take off and run. Seattle’s defense allowed the most passing yards on plays “out of structure” during the regular season, meaning that Maye might be more dangerous throwing the football in those situations where he evades the initial pass rush.
Less relevant (but still worth noting) is that Maye has been nursing a shoulder injury since the AFC Championship Game. He might be slightly less likely to run early in this game as a result, which could help to keep him under this number.
Kyle Williams OVER 39.5 Receiving Yards (+1940, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSHistorically, when offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has been in the Super Bowl, we see a good amount of creativity, and we usually see the team’s targets spread around to quite a few players – including a player or two that few people would have expected to be heavily involved in the game plan.
Of course, this will be McDaniels’ first Super Bowl with Drake Maye, but New England lacks a true WR1, so his “spread the ball” philosophy could still show up. Williams hasn’t been playing a lot of snaps during these playoffs, but he has big-play ability and has delivered in key moments at times this season.
If looking for a Super Bowl long shot, this could be the guy to get it done, and it might only take a single catch to make it happen.
