Super Bowl 57 Player Props Top Picks
DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles – OVER 65.5 Receiving Yards
Although DeVonta Smith has failed to go over this 65.5 receiving yards mark in both playoff games so far, this Super Bowl matchup should be a different story. The Eagles were winning big over both the Giants and 49ers in these past two games and simply didn’t need to throw much, if at all, in the second halves. This game vs Kansas City will undoubtedly be close throughout and Philadelphia will be forced to throw it more often. Enter Smith, who went over 65.5 receiving yards in nine of 17 regular season games this year. He also went over this number in four straight games to end the regular season. Plus, the Chiefs allowed two Bengals receivers to go over 65.5 yards (Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase) and one Jaguars wideout (Zay Jones) in their two playoff matchups thus far.
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs – OVER 6.5 Receptions
At first glance, getting more than 6.5 receptions for any pass-catcher is a tough ask. However, this is Travis Kelce we’re talking about and it’s almost a guarantee he’ll be putting on a show in the Super Bowl. Yes, Kelce had six receptions or fewer in 11 of 17 regular season games. But he’s racked up 14 and seven catches in the Chiefs’ playoff games on 17 and eight targets, respectively. The Kansas City tight end now has at least seven receptions in four straight playoff games dating back to last season and in seven of the last eight postseason matchups. Patrick Mahomes looks Kelce’s way more often in the playoffs and we can expect the same in the Super Bowl. The Eagles boast an elite pass rush and pass defense overall, so Mahomes should be looking for quick and easy completions to his tight end all game.
Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles – UNDER 57.5 Rush Yards
With how dominant the Eagles’ run game has looked all season and during this playoff run, it’s definitely risky taking an under for any Philly rushing yards prop. However, this number seems a tad too high for Miles Sanders. First off, Sanders is still splitting snaps and touches with both Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott in the Eagles backfield. That committee approach limits Sanders’ upside right away. He’s certainly capable of breaking off a long gain or two and racking up 100+ yards, but that’s not likely in this Super Bowl. Then there’s Jalen Hurts, who could be taking away yards from Sanders and running it more than he has since returning from injury. Plus, we can add in the strong possibility that Philadelphia will be throwing it more often – especially if trailing at all and trying to keep pace with the Chiefs. For what it’s worth, Sanders has gone under 57.5 rushing yards in six of the last 11 games including the NFC championship.

Player News
Free agent Gabe Davis will visit the New York Giants.
Cut by the Jaguars after one season last week, Davis visited the 49ers on Monday. New York would be a reunion of sorts, as he played for Giants coach Brian Daboll in Buffalo. The G-Men already have several wideouts capable of stretching the field, but 26-year-old Davis could still be a decent role player in a strong offense. The problem, of course, is that the Giants profile as anything but, but rookie QB Jaxson Dart is comfortable throwing down the field.
Ravens S Ar’Darius Washington has been diagnosed with a torn achilles suffered during offseason training.
The fifth-year pro became a weekly starter for the first time last season, earning elite PFF marks in the process. He was a restricted free agent this spring but had yet to sign his $3.26 million tender. That’s a tough break, to put it mildly. Achilles timelines have shortened significantly in recent years, but Washington will probably still miss the entire 2025 campaign. The Ravens are protected in part by their first-round selection of fellow S Malaki Starks, but May is not the month you already want to be dipping into your depth. Going on 26, Washington’s career future is murky after he worked so hard to finally become a regular contributor last season.
Chiefs signed fourth-round WR Jalen Royals to a four-year contract.
Royals doesn’t have an obvious and open spot in the receiving corps to build short-term fantasy value with Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Rashee Rice operating in the opening 11-personnel package. He may or may not play his way into WR4 duties depending on how the team feels about JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals has plenty of talent and Brown is on a one-year deal, so there is a future where Royals is more than a bit player for the Chiefs. It likely won’t happen in his first season without injuries in front of him.
Matthew Judon said he “probably” won’t return to the Falcons in 2025.
The Falcons, of course, drafted both Jalon Walker and James Pearce in the first round. In an exclusive interview with CardPlayer.com — not to be confused with our PokerNews.com James Cook scoop a few days ago — Judon said that his sack total was down because “I dropped (into coverage) on 60 percent of the plays. It’s hard to get a pick and a sack on the same play.” Judon also told Kyle Odegard that “a couple” teams had expressed interest in him but he was in no rush to sign.
Jets released P Thomas Morstead.
Austin McNamara and Kai Kroeger will compete for the Jets punter job this year. The 39-year-old former Saint was the league’s oldest punter last season. If he wants to keep punting, he can absolutely join the tryout circuit or a competition elsewhere. But this is probably a sign that the Morstead’s 16-year career is close to an end at this point.
Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said it’s “going to be a breakout year” for Jameson Williams.
Morton said he’d never “been around someone that fast,” then quickly corrected himself to note that Jhamyr Gibbs is also that fast. Williams came on strong last year with a 58/1001/7 receiving line, but offensive coordinator praise could mean even more targets are coming. It would likely come at the expense of Amon-Ra St. Brown’s production if Williams were to truly break out, though there’s plenty for St. Brown to give and still be a top-flight fantasy wideout. It’s risky to read too much into statements like this in the offseason, but the new offensive coordinator telling you he thinks it’ll be a breakout year for Williams is certainly noteworthy.
