Top 10 Player Props For NFL Week 14

Sat Dec 7 4:02am ET
Field Level Media

With six NFL teams on a bye and a shortage of competitive matchups this week, the risk may not be worth the reward betting on the traditional moneyline. However, with hundreds of NFL player props to choose from, bettors have options other than the spread, moneyline and total.

There is nothing wrong with putting money down on the traditional betting line for a game this week. But if these questionable matchups make you nervous, check out our list of the top 10 player props for the Sunday NFL slate.

Odds are from FanDuel unless otherwise stated.

Jaguars vs. Titans

Will Levis, O/U 211.5 Passing Yards at -113/-113

O/U 0.5 Interceptions at -130/+100 (odds via DraftKings)

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, O/U 36.5 Receiving Yards at -110/-120 (odds via BetMGM)

Anytime Touchdown Scorer at +230

Since getting back into the lineup for the Titans, Will Levis has been ... not bad. His first game back (vs. the Chargers) was not spectacular: He was 18 of 23 for 175 yards and two touchdowns. But his past three passing-yardage totals have been 295, 278 and 212.

Against the league's worst pass defense (talking about you, Jags), it would be surprising if he did not clear 211.5 yards this week. Take the OVER.

As for his interception total, yes, he has nine this season in nine games. He has been picked off twice in the four games since his return. But the Jaguars are one of the worst teams when it comes to forcing turnovers (eight, next to last in the league, three of them courtesy of Sam Darnold in one game).

Since the UNDER has even-money odds, take the UNDER.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has not had a great season, but he has become one of Levis' favorite targets of late. In the four games with Levis under center again, Westbrook-Ikhine has been targeted 22 times (over half of his season total).

He has only caught two or three in each game, but in the past three, he went over 36.5 yards (117, 48, 61). As for scoring, he has recorded four touchdowns in his past three games.

Take the OVER on his yardage total and YES on Anytime Touchdown Scorer.

Falcons vs. Vikings

Sam Darnold, O/U 249.5 Passing Yards at -113/-113

Atlanta's defense held opponents to 231.7 passing yards per game over the past three games. However, that number benefited quite a bit from last week's game vs. the Chargers. Los Angeles had only 131 passing yards, but that number is definitely the exception and not the rule for the Falcons' defense.

Darnold has gone over 249.5 yards just twice in his past five games. However, we like his chances of having a solid day in the passing game against a questionable Atlanta defense.

Take the OVER.

Panthers vs. Eagles

Jalen Hurts, O/U 25.5 Pass Attempts at -108/-120

The Eagles' offense has been all about Saquon Barkley running the ball with the occasional run by Hurts and enough passing to force defenses to respect the threat the passing game could have. Consequently, Hurts has attempted more than 25.5 passes in a game once in his past eight contests.

Take the UNDER.

Jets vs. Dolphins

De'Von Achane, O/U 89.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards at -113/-115

Achane is one of the more explosive backs in the NFL, but without Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback, he struggled. Tagovailoa has been back for a few weeks, and Achane's production has improved, but the running back has gone over 93.5 total yards only once in his past three games and three times in six games since Tagovailoa's return on Oct. 27.

The Jets are having all kinds of issues this season, but their defense has kept games from getting ugly. However, a running back has cleared 89.5 total yards against the Jets' defense in two of the past four games.

Take the OVER.

Jonnu Smith, O/U 49.5 Receiving Yards at -113/-113

O/U 4.5 Receptions at +100/-135 (odds via BetMGM)

The Jets' defense has been stingy, with tight ends averaging 4.5 receptions and 42.7 receiving yards, but Smith has been on fire the past three weeks. Tagovailoa targeted him 30 times across all three and he caught 25 (with a low of six while averaging a hair over 100 yards.

Take the OVER for both.

Browns vs. Steelers

Jameis Winston, O/U 8.5 Rushing Yards at -120/-110 (odds via BetMGM)

Winston does not take off running often, nor does he go far. He has had 19 rushes this season for 57 yards. However, he did have one game where he carried the ball five times for 27 yards (vs. the Chargers), and last week, vs. the Broncos, he had three carries for 11 yards.

However, the Steelers' defense has been stingy against mobile quarterbacks, giving up 123 yards on 27 attempts. If Winston does run, he will not get far.

Take the UNDER.

Hot Plays, Fades and Sleepers: Week 14

Player Notes
Cam Little Dec 7 10:40am CT
Cam Little

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is a below-average kicking option in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Little has been accurate at least this season, hitting all of his extra points and 17 of 19 field goals. His longest field goal made this season is 59 yards, so he has the leg to put up fantasy points as well. However, the already lackluster Jaguars offense now has Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence, meaning Little could have even fewer field goal attempts this week. Last week against the Houston Texans, Little put up six fantasy points, and in Weeks 10 and 11, Jones's other two starts, he put up a combined nine fantasy points. The rookie kicker could have a decent fantasy day, but given the circumstances, there are much better options out there to start in an important Week 14 for most fantasy managers.

Travis Kelce Dec 7 10:40am CT
Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran tight end had seven catches for 68 yards in last week's close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce put forth a serviceable performance against the Raiders but will have a more challenging time this week against the Chargers, who rank eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce's upside has been capped with other Chiefs pass catchers getting more involved, specifically backup tight end Noah Gray. Gray has at least four catches in the last three games and scored four times in that span. That said, Kelce is seeing almost unmatched volume at the tight end position, with double-digit targets in five games this year. Kelce is ranked TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a high-end TE1. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting him despite the difficult matchup.

From RotoBaller

Isiah Pacheco Dec 7 10:40am CT
Isiah Pacheco

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. Pacheco returned from injured reserve last week and handled seven carries for 44 yards and one catch for five yards in their close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Pacheco and Kareem Hunt split the carries evenly, but Pacheco showed that he was still the more explosive back of the duo. Another week removed from injured reserve, the 25-year-old should handle a larger share of the backfield opportunities. That said, it will not be a cakewalk matchup for Pacheco against the Chargers. The Chargers rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the more difficult matchups for the position. Pacheco is ranked RB21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a low-end RB2 option. Fantasy managers should excited to start Pacheco, despite the poor matchup, due to his ability to create big plays and the fact that there are six teams on bye this week.

From RotoBaller

Kareem Hunt Dec 7 10:40am CT
Kareem Hunt

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. Hunt handled seven carries for 15 yards and two catches for four yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old evenly split the backfield carries with Isiah Pacheco, but the latter was the more explosive option. With another week to get back to game speed, it stands to reason that Pacheco will shift the backfield share more in his direction. Even if the split remains relatively even this week, Hunt will have his work cut out for him against the Chargers. The Chargers rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the most challenging matchups. Hunt is ranked RB30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, putting him on the flex radar in a week with six teams on bye. Fantasy managers should try their best not to start Hunt this week.

From RotoBaller

DeAndre Hopkins Dec 7 10:40am CT
DeAndre Hopkins

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran receiver had four catches for 90 yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins and Patrick Mahomes connected for multiple chunk plays in Week 13 and will attempt to build on that chemistry this week against the Chargers. The Chargers rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them a relatively neutral matchup. The 32-year-old has displayed reliability as a pass catcher in this Kansas City offense and should continue to be heavily involved. That said, Travis Kelce is the player most likely to be fed targets in the passing attack, meaning Hopkins must be efficient with his opportunities to be fantasy-relevant. Hopkins is ranked WR30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a WR3/flex option. Fantasy managers can start Hopkins in this matchup, but be aware that he has a low floor.

From RotoBaller

Ray-Ray McCloud Dec 7 10:40am CT
Ray-Ray McCloud

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III is coming off back-to-back six-target games, catching 10 of those balls for 141 yards. The 28-year-old has been a pretty consistent option in the passing game for the Falcons all year, catching three or more passes in 10 of Atlanta's 12 games, while seemingly pushing Kyle Pitts out of the picture over the last couple of weeks. With just one touchdown on the season, the Clemson product's upside is limited, but with 45 receptions on the season, he can be in Flex consideration most weeks in PPR leagues. Minnesota allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers in the entire NFL, so this could certainly be one of those weeks. McCloud III projects as a WR5/Flex option this week, with slight upside in PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

Xavier Worthy Dec 7 10:40am CT
Xavier Worthy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14. The rookie has been a consistent factor in the Kansas City offense lately, catching at least four passes and totaling more than 45 yards in the last three games. The Chiefs also like to get Worthy involved in the run game, giving him at least one carry in eight games this season. Worthy will look to be productive this week against the Chargers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy and Patrick Mahomes have had difficulty connecting on deep passes this season, but it could be a matter of time until they do. Worthy is ranked WR41 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper flex option this week. Fantasy managers can do better than Worthy this week, especially since he hasn't displayed a ceiling-type game since Week 1.

From RotoBaller

Younghoe Koo Dec 7 10:30am CT
Younghoe Koo

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo hit two fields and an extra point attempt in Week 13, however, a field goal attempt from 35 yards out sailed wide right, marking the sixth field goal he's missed in the last six games. The 30-year-old is now 21-for-29 (72.4%) on the season, although he has yet to miss an extra point (24-for-24). Week 14's matchup with the Vikings has the Falcons as six-point underdogs and if Atlanta plans to win the game, they may not be able to settle for field goals. Still, the Falcons should be able to move the ball through the air, assuming Kirk Cousins remedies his interception issues, but drives may stall when the team has to run the ball down close against one of the toughest run defenses in the league, which could translate to opportunities for Koo. This matchup will also be indoors, so weather shouldn't be a problem. View Koo as a low-end kicker option this week with more reliable options in better situations likely available for the taking on the waiver wire.

From RotoBaller

Evan Engram Dec 7 10:30am CT
Evan Engram

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram should serve as a safety valve for Mac Jones in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans, despite their 3-9 record, have been good against the pass in fantasy, both against tight ends and wide receivers. However, that shouldn't stop Engram from having a decent day, especially in PPR leagues. Last week against the Houston Texans, Engram produced seven catches for 41 yards. He led the team in receptions but was well behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. in receiving yards. That trend could continue given Engram's role in the offense, making him more touchdown-dependent than usual. The good news is Jones was able to throw two passing touchdowns last week after none in his previous two starts. Engram should be viewed as a low-end TE1 in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Patrick Mahomes Dec 7 10:30am CT
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran quarterback passed for 306 yards and a touchdown in last week's close victory against another divisional opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders brought the ball within field goal range and had a chance to take the lead but fumbled a snap in the final minute. The 29-year-old will have a more challenging time producing against the Chargers, who rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. The Chargers are currently the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture, meaning they're a good team and determined to give Kansas City a run for their money. Mahomes only has two games over 20 fantasy points in a four-point per passing touchdown league this season, so he has been disappointing from a ceiling standpoint. That said, Mahomes has managed to stay turnover-free in four of his last five contests and passed for three touchdowns in three of those games. The Chiefs quarterback is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a mid-tier QB1. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable with Mahomes in their starting lineups, even if he doesn't possess the elite ceiling we've grown accustomed to.

From RotoBaller

Travis Etienne Dec 7 10:20am CT
Travis Etienne

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. should continue his underwhelming play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. Backup running back Tank Bigsby has been banged up recently but is completely off the injury report and should eat more into Etienne Jr.'s touches this week after a 16-8 touch split last week. While it is reassuring for fantasy managers the 25-year-old back out of Clemson got 16 touches last week, he didn't do enough with those touches producing just 58 total yards. While the Jaguars could run the ball more this week if they get a lead against the 3-9 Titans, Etienne Jr. has failed to be explosive and maximize his opportunities, making him a risky start once again. Especially with Mac Jones under center, Etienne Jr. is a risky flex play at best in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Tank Bigsby Dec 7 10:10am CT
Tank Bigsby

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby should fare better in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans than last week. Bigsby has been struggling with injuries but is completely off the injury report this week. He is back to splitting work as the backup for Travis Etienne Jr. after putting up 28 yards on seven carries and seven yards on one reception in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Etienne Jr. had 16 touches, double that of Bigsby, but given the young back out of Auburn has looked like the more explosive back all season, it is likely that touches even out more this week. The Jaguars could play with a lead more than usual and run the ball more against the Titans, but given the offense's volatility with Mac Jones under center, Bigsby should be viewed as nothing more than a flex option in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Brian Thomas Jr. Dec 7 9:50am CT
Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has the same upside that he usually does, but with Mac Jones under center, his floor is lower than usual against the Tennessee Titans. BTJ did have four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown last week against the Houston Texans, but he also had his lowest catch percentage of the season of 40 percent. The rookie isn't on as good of a page with Jones as with Trevor Lawrence, but he at least showed signs of production with Jones in Week 13. Given his big-play ability, it is hard to bench BTJ, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Jones can't find BTJ down the field and the offense struggles to move the ball, like against the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. BTJ serves as a boom-or-bust WR2 in Week 14 against the Titans.

From RotoBaller

Mac Jones Dec 7 9:40am CT
Mac Jones

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones performed well in relief of Trevor Lawrence but could struggle once again in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Despite the Titans being one of the worst teams in the NFL, they have a solid pass defense, meaning they could make things difficult for Jones and the Jaguars passing attack. In just one half last week, Jones finished with 20 completions on 32 attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans, so he at least has a performance that looks much better than his previous two starts against the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings where he combined for 0 touchdowns and three interceptions. Beyond superflex leagues as a low-end QB2, it is difficult to trust Jones in fantasy lineups given fantasy playoffs are on the line in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Parker Washington Dec 7 9:10am CT
Parker Washington

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will try to match his performance from last week in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. With Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk out for the rest of the season, Washington stepped up in Week 13, producing six catches for 103 yards against the Houston Texans. That came despite Trevor Lawrence leaving the game late in the second quarter with a concussion and Mac Jones taking over. Washington has been limited in practice all week with a shoulder injury but has no injury designation for Sunday, a small thing to keep in mind when considering Washington for starting lineups. Given the Titans relatively tough passing defense and Mac Jones being hit or miss so far this season, it's hard to say Washington is anything more than a decent flex play in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Jalen Nailor Dec 7 9:00am CT
Jalen Nailor

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor remains a low-volume option and should be benched in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Nailor carved out a solid target share and scoring opportunities early in the season, but he has come back down to earth and earned fewer looks as the clear No. 3 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor has been held to one catch (or less) in each of his last five games, and although he does have two touchdowns in that span, his scoring options are unpredictable and the risk of him turning in a clunker outweighs the potential modest reward of him catching one pass for one touchdown. Nailor is still one of the more fantasy-relevant No. 3 receivers in the NFL, but as long as Jefferson and Addison stay healthy, he can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues. That remains the case this week as the Vikings face the Falcons. Atlanta has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year, but that stat has more favorable implications for Jefferson and Addison than it does for Nailor.

From RotoBaller

Daniel Carlson Dec 7 8:50am CT
Daniel Carlson

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is coming off one of the worst performances of his career and fails to inspire confidence heading into Week 14 of the NFL season. During last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Carlson went 2-for-2 on extra points but just 1-for-4 on field goals. The three missed kicks tied a career-most for the Raiders' kicker, who hadn't previously done that since the second game of his career back in 2018. Even ignoring the misses, Carlson isn't a super dependable fantasy option as he ranks 16th in fantasy points scored among kickers this year. In Week 14, he'll face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers. Notably, they have held their opponents to a modest 1.8 field goals per game, including just 0.2 from beyond 50 yards. In any given week, Carlson ranks as a fringe top-18 option and can be left on waivers in most leagues with 14 or fewer teams.

From RotoBaller

Jalen McMillan Dec 7 8:40am CT
Jalen McMillan

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan should continue to be benched in most fantasy football leagues for Week 14. The 23-year-old did possess a respectable 76 percent snap share last Sunday, but he still caught just two of three targets for 25 yards, finishing with fewer than five fantasy points (PPR) for the second consecutive game. His role and volume have both been reduced ever since Mike Evans returned from injury. We also can't ignore his subpar matchup this week against the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Raiders have struggled as a team this season, they've defended the pass quite well. The Raiders are allowing the eighth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2024. As long as Evans is healthy, McMillan should be benched in fantasy football. That includes this Sunday's matchup at home.

From RotoBaller

Brock Bowers Dec 7 8:40am CT
Brock Bowers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers remains a top option at his position and should be started in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 14. The star rookie is coming off a phenomenal game against the Kansas City Chiefs in which he caught 10 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. That performance brought his season total to 84 catches, 884 yards, and four touchdowns. The Georgia product has emerged as a Rookie of the Year candidate while ranking as the overall TE1 in fantasy football. Bowers' success should continue in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The Buccaneers have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, eighth-most touchdowns, and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2024. Vegas is also the underdog, which means they'll have a negative game script and should look to throw the ball a lot. The stars are certainly aligning for Bowers to have a huge game against the Buccaneers this Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Jake Elliott Dec 7 8:30am CT
Jake Elliott

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has emerged as a potential must-start fantasy option heading into Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. Elliott ranks 20th among kickers in fantasy points this season, but he has played well lately, going 4-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points over his last two games. In addition to his latest accuracy, Elliott gets a very favorable Week 14 matchup against the Panthers, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Carolina has surrendered an average of 2.9 extra points and 2.2 field goals per game, and those numbers could jump even higher after this week's contest against a strong Eagles offense. Scoring opportunities will be plentiful for Elliott on Sunday. He's a top option ahead of this week's fantasy football matchups.
