2 Top Props for Vikings vs Rams On Monday Night

1. Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson Over 45.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Hockenson’s 45.5 receiving yards is a strong prop for this Wild Card showdown. Sure, he had a dud last week against the Detroit Lions (two catches, nine yards), but that’s not the norm. We prefer to think of it as the calm before the Hock-nado rolling into Arizona on Monday.

The Vikings are the third-most pass-heavy team in neutral game scripts (64.3%), and this game projects a hefty 132.8 plays, the most of the week. That’s a buffet of offensive snaps, and Hockenson’s got a reserved seat at the head of the table.

Per Vikings vs Rams stats, he’s averaging seven targets per game over the last two weeks, and the Rams are a free-for-all against tight ends. Los Angeles allows the second-most yards after catch to the position (5.53) and struggles mightily with missed assignments.

With the Rams scheming to stop Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson should feast in the soft middle of the field. At 45.5 yards, we’re getting a number he can hit with just a couple of grabs. Smash the over when you bet online and ride the Hock money train.

2. Vikings WR Jordan Addison Over 58.5 Receiving Yards (-121)

Jordan Addison over 58.5 receiving yards is easy money for this Wild Card matchup. The rookie has been balling out, hitting his receptions over in eight of the last 10 games, and he’s primed to keep that streak alive in this pass-happy Vikings offense.

Minnesota throws the ball 64.3% of the time in neutral situations and Addison should see plenty of action once again in this one. He’s running routes on 90.1% of the Vikings’ dropbacks (87th percentile among WRs) and is expected to draw 7.5 targets.

Addison’s knack for finding space in coverage complements Jefferson’s gravity perfectly, especially against a young Rams defense prone to giving up big plays. With ideal weather boosting passing efficiency, Addison has everything lined up to smash this number. Make the over one of your NFL bets and enjoy the show.
