PrizePicks NFL Fantasy: 2021 Receiving Props
It is important to note that, much like odds that update throughout the day, these props at PrizePicks are subject to change. So if you like these NFL picks below, it is wise to jump on them quickly.
Davante Adams: Over 1300.5 Yards Receiving
When discussing NFL props for the upcoming season, it is important to remember that the league added a 17th game to the schedule.
Davante Adams was the most dominant receiver in the league last season, and it wasn’t really close. This year, he is playing for a new contract and he is adamant that he deserves to be paid the largest wide receiver contract ever. After totaling 1,374 receiving yards in only 14 games, it’s tough to argue with him.
Adams is perfectly in sync with MVPÂ Aaron Rodgers, making him truly impossible to defend. His footwork is unmatched, creating separation at any spot on the field. With a possible three extra games to add onto his 1,374 yards receiving last season, and we could see something historic this year.
Awesemo’s season-long props tool projects Adams for 1,485 yards receiving, which gives the over a 57% chance to hit.
Corey Davis: Over 805.5 Yards Receiving
For the first time in his football career, Corey Davis saw CB2 coverage last season. A switch to the Jets again makes him the clear WR1, but his connection with rookie Zach Wilson is already very apparent. It’s also obvious that Davis will be a massive part of the offense, seeing targets at every depth. After totaling 984 yards receiving in only 14 games last season, Davis has a chance to improve upon this in what may become a pass-happy offense more often than not, due to game script.
Awesemo’s prop tool projects Davis for 859 yards receiving, which gives the over on this NFL fantasy prop a 53% chance to hit.
Irv Smith Jr.: Over 575.5 Yards Receiving
The Vikings finally got rid of Kyle Rudolph, making Irv Smith Jr. the starting tight end for this offense. With only two wide receivers even belonging on the field in Minnesota, Smith will be a big part of this offense.
Smith saw over 65% of the offensive snaps six times last season. In these six games, he totaled 255 yards receiving. Extrapolated over a 17-game season, Smith would have totaled 722 yards receiving. With such disparity between that number and our NFL fantasy prop, we have to take the over.
Awesemo’s prop tool projects Smith for 627 yards receiving, which gives the over a 54% chance to hit.
