Receivers With +1600 Odds Or More To Lead NFL In Receiving Yards

• While the top targets like Michael Thomas (+450) and Julio Jones (+800) top the odds, there is a great opportunity for a longshot to cash in.
• Some of the longshots include Amari Cooper (+1600), JuJu Smith-Schuster (+2000), and Stefon Diggs (+2000).
• If a bettor were to successfully risk a unit on all five wide receivers, their payout would be over ten-fold after subtracting losses.

LAS VEGAS – As the NFL season looms in the distance, props offer some great value, despite requiring you to wait until the end of the season to cash in.

If one has the patience, there can be some terrific returns for those who do their research in the preseason. Taking a look at the prop bets for the leader in receiving yards is the perfect example of one of these bets.

While favorite and last year’s leader Michael Thomas is easily the most likely to repeat inside another high-octane New Orleans Saints offense, there are some great candidates to make a run to the top.

While the likes of Thomas, Julio Jones, and DeAndre Hopkins will certainly be the most common bets here, there is some great value further down the board.

Adam Thielen +1600

Adam Thielen is looking to be the number one target in Minnesota following the departure of Stefon Diggs.

Under new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, Thielen is looking to bounce back from an injury-riddled 2019 season and could find his way at the top of the receiving yards leaderboard.

Amari Cooper +1600

Since leaving the Raiders to join the Dallas Cowboys, Amari Cooper has seen a revitalization in his performance and production.

Cooper is now undoubtedly one of the top WRs in the league, largely due to some of the best footwork in league history.

With Dak Prescott looking to prove himself this year, expect a lot of balls thrown Cooper’s way.

DeVante Parker +1600

While it might have gone largely unnoticed, DeVante Parker was a top-five receiver in yards last year in a less-than-stellar Miami Dolphins offense.

It is apparent that Parker will always put up strong numbers regardless of who is under center, but the potential of him forming a connection with rookie Tua Tagovailoa could be deadly.

JuJu Smith-Schuster +2000

The Pittsburgh Steelers should return to form in 2020 with the return of Ben Roethlisberger from an elbow injury.

Smith-Schuster was set for a breakout year in 2019 with the departure of Antonio Brown, but that was derailed once Big Ben went down.

Now, there is little stopping JuJu from being the star he is capable of being.

Stefon Diggs +2000

After being traded to the Buffalo Bills, Diggs is looking at being the number one receiver for Josh Allen’s offense.

The Bills are an already good team that now adds a dynamic weapon in Diggs.

Allen himself said he is excited to work with Diggs and think they can do big things together. Diggs has the tools to be the top receiver in the league, it will just come down to if he is able to use them or not.

Whether taking the chalk or finding a longshot bet for wide receiver props, much NFL action is present at Super Bowl betting sites despite the season being months away from starting.
