When it comes to how to bet on NFL player props, there are endless options and you can bet on almost any position group of players. Read on for our top NFL Week 18 player props for January 6-7 here.

Week 18 Passing Props – Dak Prescott Passing Yards

The Cowboys need a win to ensure they wrap up the NFC East and playing this Commanders’ team that is 4-12 and 31st defending the pass looks like a great opponent to do so against.

When these teams last played Dallas won 45-10 and Dak Prescott threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns.

It’s tempting to go over his passing yardage prop here of 278.5. He should once again throw all over the Commanders. But he’s also only gone over that number once in his past four games and also only once in eight road games this season. I can see this going either way. Either another monster day, or the Cowboys getting way up in the score and taking their foot off the pedal and Dak falling under.

It won’t pay big, but Dak to throw for two touchdowns (-200) looks like a lock. He’s done so in 9/10 recent games. Push that to three touchdowns and the price is +180 if you prefer. He’s only accomplished that in five games though.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: Dak Prescott over 1.5 passing touchdowns (-200); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Week 18 Rushing Props – James Connor Rushing Yards

James Connor ran all over the Eagles for 128 yards last week and has rushing totals of 45, 86 and 105 in his his games prior.

Against a Seattle run defense ranked 30th, he has a great spot to end the season on a high with another big day.

Playing Pittsburgh last week, Seattle saw Najee Harris rush for 122 yards and Jaylen Warren for 75 as well. Look at recent Seahawks games and opposing running backs have combined for 197, 128, 95, 165, 83 and 153 yards versus Seattle in recent games.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: James Connor over 70.5 rushing yards (-115); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Week 18 Rushing Props – Devin Singletary Rushing Yards

Devin Singletary had 80 yards rushing last week and 121 yards back in Week 16.

It’s a big game for Houston overall trying to get into the playoffs, and a big game incentive-wise for Singletary as well with $125k on the line for another 165 yards.

That may be a bit out of reach, but luckily his rushing prop for Week 18 is only set at 63.5.

The Colts own the league’s 27th run defense giving up 127.8 YPG and looking back to Week 7, they’ve given up at least 81 yards combined rushing in all but one game. They’ve given up 97 or more yards eight of those ten games.

Those are combined rushing totals, but the top rusher versus the Colts has finished with 71, 72, 40, 79, 102, 100 and 88 yards in their past seven games.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: Devin Singletary over 63.5 rushing yards (-115); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Week 18 Receiving Props – Mike Evans Receiving Yards

When these teams last played Tampa Bay just edged past Carolina 21-18 at home. But Mike Evans had a huge day with seven catches for 162 yards and a score.

Last week he was held out of the endzone and had just three catches for 70 yards. But he’s had four or more catches in 7/9 games and has touchdowns in 3/4 games and also in 6/8. However, Carolina has held opposing wide receivers out of the endzone in 2/3 and 6/10 of their past games.

Evans’ receiving yardage prop is set at 63.5 yards in Week 18 and that’s a number he’s gone over in four of his past six games.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: Mike Evans over 62.5 receiving yards (-115); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Week 18 Receiving Props – DeAndre Hopkins Receiving Yards

It’s possibly the last game in Tennessee for both head coach Mike Vrabel and running back Derrick Henry, but standings-wise there’s nothing on the line for the Titans. However, DeAndre Hopkins can wrap up an extra $1 million with 49 yards more receiving and then another $250,000 in player incentive bonuses with seven more catches.

His receptions totals are not posted right now but he’s set with a receiving yards total of 64.5. He’s been hit or miss to reach that total all season only having 65+ yards four times this season. He did have 70 last week an the Jaguars are 27th in pass defense.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: DeAndre Hopkins over 64.5 receiving yards (-115); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Week 18 Touchdown Props – CeeDee Lamb Anytime Touchdown

CeeDee Lamb is always a threat to find the endzone and he’s done so ten times this year. He’s also had a touchdown in back-to-back games and in seven of his past eight games. He’s coming off a massive 13 catch 227 yard game last week and could put up some more monster numbers versus the Commanders’ 31st-ranked passing defense.

The Commanders are also 32nd in receiving yards and 31st in touchdowns allowed to wide receivers and have allowed multiple quarterback passing touchdowns in 11 of their past 13 games.

  • NFL Player Prop Picks: CeeDee Lamb anytime touchdown (-134); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET
