Kenneth Walker Player Props
Over 2.5 Receptions (-125)
One of my favorite props for Super Bowl Sunday is Kenneth Walker's receptions prop.
The Seahawks RB is in a prime position to be heavily featured Sunday with Zach Charbonnet injured and George Holani functioning as Walker's main rival for touches.
Then there’s the game script, which I believe will see the Seahawks holding a lead, and therefore more inclined to use their running back.
Walker's rushing yards total is one that could be worth tackling, but it’s his receptions line of 2.5 that feels like an absolute must-smash for tonight's game.
Let’s talk about the opposition.
During the regular season, only five teams gave up more receptions to opposing running backs than the Patriots (84). That averages out at 4.9 per game.
Despite giving up plenty of receptions, they ranked middle of the pack in terms of receiving yardage allowed, averaging 30.8 yards per game. That’s why we’re focusing on the reception line over the receiving yards line here.
Throughout the season, it’s been Walker getting more targets than Charbonnet, but with his fellow running back missing, there are still targets to go around. As for Walker himself, he averaged 2.2 targets per game, but those numbers increased dramatically as the season progressed.
In his first nine games of the season, Walker caught 11-of-12 targets. In the 10 games that followed, he was targeted 31 times and caught 27 of them. That’s a huge shift in usage, and he’s now caught three or more passes in three straight games.
Opportunity is everything here, and since Week 11, there have only been two games in which he hasn’t had at least three targets.
