5 minNFL Receiving Props: Targeting DK Metcalf on the Week 18 WR Cheat Sheet
Many backups are getting the start at quarterback, along with many receivers who will get a breather before heading into the playoffs.
You'll hear some names you haven't heard all year in some games. But I've added three wide receiver player props for Week 18 in games we know will be played entirely with actual starters.
I'm attacking games with legitimate implications for either the next NFL Draft or this year's NFL Playoffs.
NFL WR Cheat Sheet Week 18
Mike Evans Over 4.5 Receptions (-113) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Mike Evans has only hit at least five receptions in 56% of games this season. But he's had previous success against the Panthers after earning seven catches on 12 targets last time out against Carolina.
The Buccaneers need to win this game to win the NFC South. They will be aggressive early, especially after the Buccaneers blew last week's game against the Saints.
The Buccaneers began that game slowly and didn't add any momentum until they started throwing the ball down the field late in the fourth quarter.
They'll start that process a bit earlier. There's no better receiver on the Buccaneers than Mike Evans, who has 13 of the 28 passing touchdowns from Mayfield this year.
DK Metcalf Under 5.5 Receptions (-140) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
DK Metcalf reached over 1,000 yards receiving. He also scored eight touchdowns. But it totally felt like a down year for Metcalf this season.
Metcalf only added 65 receptions throughout the season and added six or more catches in 27% of games this year. He's struggled against the Cardinals in previous seasons and has only earned six or more catches in two of his last ten games.
Even after earning 108 receiving yards last week against the Steelers, Metcalf still managed to go Under 5.5 receptions. He only hauled in five of his eight targets.
Take Metcalf's Under.
CeeDee Lamb Over 95.5 Receiving Yards (-110) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Cowboys are playing for the NFC East against the Commanders.
They'll be playing their starters looking for the divisional title. Therefore, let's ride CeeDee Lamb's hot streak.
Lamb leads the NFL in receptions with 122 and has added 1,651 yards receiving, which is second in the NFL.
He's coming off a 13-reception, 17-target game against the Lions for 227 yards. He averaged 17.5 yards per catch despite adding 13 catches in that game. Yes, the 92-yard reception helped, but even if you took that play away, Lamb still would've had over 100 yards receiving and more than ten receptions.
Detroit's secondary isn't good. Washington's could genuinely be worse. Take Lamb's Over.
