What are NFL receiving props?
NFL receiving props cover various stats for pass catchers, including receptions, yardage and touchdowns. Each game will offer a number of such bets. You’ll also find season-long receiving props, including which player will lead the league in yards. Such props can be fun, and the returns can be great on winning wagers.
Which receivers have the best chance to lead the league this year?
Justin Jefferson entered the season as one of the top favorites to close out the campaign with the most receiving yards. The race was competitive for a good part of the season, but he managed to pull away and claim the crown in the end, finishing with 1,809 receiving yards. Tyreek Hill was next on the list with 1,710, with Davante Adams finishing in third with 1,516.
Who led the NFL in receiving last season?
Cooper Kupp had a season for the ages last year, leading the league in receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns. Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams both had excellent seasons to finish second and third, respectively. Here’s how the top 10 shook out:
Rank | Player | Team | Yards |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Cooper Kupp | Los Angeles Rams | 1,947 |

2021 | Cooper Kupp | Los Angeles Rams | 1,947 |

How to bet on receiving props
For the upcoming season, futures on the winner of the next Super Bowl came out before the current league year even came to a close. Other top futures bets, including season-long receiving props, come out after that. The menu of options may vary by sportsbook, but here’s a look at the top receiving bets that you’ll find.
Most receiving yards
Sportsbooks will post odds for a number of season-long options, ranging from the top favorites to extreme long shots. Here’s an example using recent odds for a few favorites at DraftKings.
- Justin Jefferson +800
- Cooper Kupp +900
- Ja’Marr Chase +1000
As you can see, the odds, even for the favorites, are pretty attractive. The numbers rise even further as you go down the list of choices. At +800, a $10 bet would win $80 if correct, while a $50 wager would have a chance to win $400.
For any season-long prop, you have to consider a number of variables, including injury risks and the overall productivity of the offense. The list of choices is long, so do your best to cut it down to your top picks and a few sleepers. You can then devote your research efforts to how those players may perform for the coming season.
Most receiving TDs
You can also bet on which player will have the most receiving TDs for the year. Once again, you’ll see an odds board similar to the one for receiving yards.
- Cooper Kupp +500
- Ja’Marr Chase +500
- Mike Evans +700
Kupp led the league with 16 receiving TDs last season. Mike Evans was second with 14, followed by Ja’Marr Chase with 13. DK Metcalf and Davante Adams rounded out the top five with 12 and 11, respectively.
Most receptions
Players who lead the league in receptions tend to come from pass-heavy teams. You can bet on the league leader in this category, as well.
- Cooper Kupp +450
- Justin Jefferson +600
- Keenan Allen +900
- Stefon Diggs +900
- Davante Adams +900
While the yardage leader has a shot here, too, possession receivers and go-to options are also candidates to consider. Kupp led the way with 145 last year, then Adams with 123.
Player over/unders
There are also season-long over/under bets for top receivers. The wager works just like the weekly options, as sportsbooks will list a line plus odds for the receiver to go over or under that line.

The choice is simple: Will Chris Olave have over or under 4.5 receiving TDs for his rookie season? Based on the current odds, it looks like more bettors are expecting him to go under that line.
For the offseason, check back often for season-long over/under bets at your sportsbooks of choice and expect to see the options increase as the season approaches. Once the games that matter get underway, you’ll have plenty of receiving props to choose from for each individual game.
FAQ
What happens to season-long NFL props if a player gets injured?
NFL season-long player prop bets will remain active regardless of the status of a single player. For example, if you placed a bet on a player to lead the league in receiving yards and he goes down to injury, your bet will lose. If that happens before the Week 1 games begin, and the injured player will be out for the whole season, then sportsbooks will void and refund bets on that player.
Which NFL player had the most receiving yards in a single season?
Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions set the all-time single-season receiving yards record in 2012. He collected 1,964 yards on 122 receptions for the year.
Has a receiver ever won the NFL MVP award?
No, a wide receiver has yet to win the NFL MVP. Cooper Kupp finished third last season. The Los Angeles Rams wideout then capped his stellar season by winning the Super Bowl MVP.
