Week 15 NFL Props That Could Make or Break Your Fantasy Playoffs
It’s Week 15, folks! The fantasy football playoffs are officially here, and the NFL postseason is just around the corner. Teams are battling for playoff positioning, and fans are glued to their screens, hoping their squads can make a late-season push. But let’s not forget the other game within the game—sports betting. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just looking to add a little extra holiday cash to your wallet, this week’s slate of props is packed with potential.
Daniel Dopp and Liz Loza are here to break down the best bets for Week 15 in their “Props that Pop” series. Let’s dive into the action and see where you can find value this week!
Quarterback Props
Bryce Young OVER 19.5 completed passes (Even)
Loza: Bryce Young may not be the most efficient passer in the league, but he’s been showing steady improvement since reclaiming the starting role for the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. Over the last three games, he’s hit at least 19 completions, including a solid performance against the Philadelphia Eagles, who boast one of the league’s stingiest defenses. This week, Young faces the Dallas Cowboys, a team dealing with injuries in their defensive unit. With Trevon Diggs back but linebacker DeMarvion Overshown out, Young has a good chance to surpass this line.
Kyler Murray OVER 224.5 passing yards (-110) and Michael Wilson OVER 34.5 receiving yards (-105)
Loza: Kyler Murray has been a rollercoaster this season, alternating between boom and bust performances. However, he’s been on a hot streak lately, averaging 267 passing yards per game over the last four weeks. This week, he faces a banged-up New England Patriots defense that has struggled to generate pressure and has allowed 7.4 yards per attempt. Meanwhile, Michael Wilson has emerged as the Arizona Cardinals’ No. 2 wide receiver, going over 50 receiving yards in three straight games. With Marvin Harrison Jr. likely drawing Christian Gonzalez in coverage, Wilson should see plenty of opportunities to shine.
Running Back Props
Chuba Hubbard OVER 99.5 rushing + receiving yards
Dopp: Chuba Hubbard is set to take on a massive workload this week after the Panthers placed Jonathon Brooks on injured reserve. Hubbard has been a key part of Carolina’s recent resurgence, posting over 100 total yards in two of his last four games. With Brooks out, Hubbard’s volume should skyrocket, making this prop a strong play against a Cowboys defense that has shown vulnerability to running backs.
Rico Dowdle OVER 17.5 rush attempts (-135)
Dopp: Rico Dowdle has become the workhorse for the Cowboys, averaging 19 carries per game over the last three weeks. This week, he faces a Panthers defense that has allowed the most rushing yards and the second-most rushing touchdowns in the league. With little competition in the backfield, Dowdle is a safe bet to hit this line.
Wide Receiver Props
Adam Thielen OVER 49.5 receiving yards (-130)
Dopp: Adam Thielen has been a reliable target for Bryce Young, racking up 201 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks. He’s hit this line in three straight games and faces a Cowboys defense that has allowed 17 wide receivers to surpass this mark this season. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider parlaying this with Thielen’s receptions line of 5+ catches at +115.
Keenan Allen OVER 4.5 receptions (-125) and OVER 49.5 receiving yards (-125)
Loza: Keenan Allen has been thriving under Thomas Brown’s playcalling for the Chicago Bears, averaging 5.6 catches and 63 yards per game over his last three outings. This week, he faces a Minnesota Vikings defense that has allowed the most catches and receiving yards to wide receivers this season. Allen should have no trouble hitting these marks.
There you have it—Week 15’s Props that Pop! Whether you’re betting on Bryce Young’s arm, Chuba Hubbard’s legs, or Adam Thielen’s hands, there’s plenty of action to keep you entertained this weekend. Good luck, and may your bets be as hot as your holiday cocoa!
