Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Picks

If there was ever a matchup between two teams all but defined by injuries, it would be the Lions and 49ers. That alone can make locking in the best NFL MNF player prop picks difficult, not to mention how these teams have performed through these injuries.

Although Detroit is the one with the most players on injured reserve in the entire NFL, they are the ones sitting at 13-2 and fighting for the #1 overall seed in the NFC. Meanwhile, after entering the year as the NFC favorites, San Francisco can’t even make the postseason, let alone a top seed.

Even with all that into account, we’ve got a point spread of around a field goal for the matchup, which is why we’ve found NFL MNF player prop picks to enjoy as an alternative.
 

 

 

Lions vs. 49ers Player Props: Jameson Williams Longest Reception Under 22.5 Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Last week against the Chicago Bears, we targeting Detroit RB Jahmyr Gibbs to go over his carries prop, which he did with 23 of them. That was the first game following the injury to RB David Montgomery, which is why we trusted him to be a true bell cow.

Something else we targeted was Miami Dolphins RB DeVon Achane to find the endzone against the 49ers last Sunday, which he did. Having said all that, we expect Gibbs to find the endzone as well, but given the price, we’d suggest finding a way to pair that with something, such as Detroit’s money line.

For better value, we are instead going to focus on the passing game. This one may cause some hesitation as there is no denying that Williams is an explosive play waiting to happen. However, that has also caused this line to finally get inflated to a point where we have a spot to take an under.

If there is one thing that the 49ers have still been able to do well, it’s prevent explosive plays. They rank third in term of average depth of reception at just 6.6 yards per catch. While we saw Williams have a signature deep catch last Sunday, the Bears rank second-worst for those types of plays.

It may be a bit of a sweat, but we’re comfortable starting our NFL MNF player prop picks with Jameson Williams’ longest reception under 22.5 yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Lions vs. 49ers Player Prop Bets: Deebo Samuel Over 4.5 Receptions (+100 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

To continue our NFL MNF player prop picks, we’re going to stay in the passing game, but with the San Francisco side of the matchup. As incredible as Detroit has been this season, if they have a fatal flaw, it’s their pass defense.

Specificaly, how they’re performed about versatile WRs. That’s important to note because when it comes to the 49ers offense, it’s Samuel and TE George Kittle that eat up most of the targets. However, the Lions have been absolutely phenomenal against the TE position, allowing the absolute fewest fantasy points to them this year.

On the flip side, Detroit’s defense has allowed the sixth-most passing yards allowed per game AND sixth-most fantasy points to the WR position. On top of all that is the most important part and why we’re targeting this market - they have allowed the second-most receptions to WRs this season.

So, while the 49ers always want to get Kittle involved, Samuel had the same number of targets (nine) as Kittle last Sunday with just one fewer catch (seven). It’s also very clear that the team wants to get the ball into Deebo’s hands as much as possible given their mounting injuries, as he was also given five carries.

With it being how to try and exploit the Detroit defense, we’re adding to our NFL MNF player prop picks with Deebo Samuel over 4.5 receptions (+100 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
