PrizePicks NFL Fantasy: 2021 Receiving TD 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.
Julio Jones: Under 6.5 Receiving TDs
When discussing NFL props for the upcoming season, it is important to remember that the league added a 17th game to the schedule.
One of the biggest moves of the offseason was Julio Jones being traded to the Tennessee Titans. Now, he is no longer the top dog on his offense, with the offense clearly flowing through Derrick Henry.
Another thing working against Jones is that he has rarely been a go-to red zone weapon in his career. He has posted touchdown totals under 6.5 in four of his past five seasons. When the Titans get in close, Henry will be getting the ball. This means Jones will need many long touchdowns to hit the over.
Awesemo’s betting prop tool projects Jones for 6.0 receiving touchdowns, pointing to the under hitting.
George Kittle: Under 5.5 Receiving TDs
We know George Kittle is one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Unfortunately, his reckless, all-out playing style has led to his body failing him occasionally. For this reason, he has never totaled over 5.5 touchdowns.
On top of that, the 49ers suddenly have a corps of weapons. Kittle is no longer the lone receiving threat. Brandon Aiyuk is a talented, versatile receiver, while Deebo Samuel is another big-bodied target that can be useful in the red zone. So, the dispersing of targets combined with Kittle’s injury history/playing style points to the under here.
For what it’s worth, Awesemo’s prop projections disagree with me. The total projects Kittle for 7.3 touchdowns which, again, would be a career-high.
Davante Adams: Over 10.5 Receiving TDs
Davante Adams is the best wide receiver in the NFL, playing with the best quarterback in the league. This already is unfair. However, their ability to be on the same page during broken plays is what makes Adams fully unguardable in the red zone.
We saw this last season, with him catching 18 touchdowns in 14 games. While Adams has played a full season just once, the extra game this season also makes this a lock. Adams is also playing for a new contract, and he has made it clear that he deserves to be the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. After 18 touchdowns last season, you can bet Adams’ goal will be 20 this year.
