The Vikings are taking on the Bears in a divisional battle on Sunday. Here are some Justin Jefferson prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Justin Jefferson Prop Bets
Here are Justin Jefferson’s current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 6.5 receptions and o/u 82.5 receiving yards. Jefferson is +110 to score a touchdown, +800 to score 2+ touchdowns and +550 to score the first touchdown of the game.
It is a testament to how incredible Justin Jefferson has been throughout his NFL career that people are considering this a “down year” for him despite the fact that he currently ranks second in the NFL in receiving yards. After a season-worst performance against Jacksonville, Jefferson bounced back with a solid six-catch performance for 81 yards against the Titans. Now, Jefferson faces a division rival in the Chicago Bears. Jefferson has faired well against the Bears in his career, clearing 100 receiving yards in four out of six career games against Chicago.
One of the reasons Jefferson’s season is being somewhat disrespected is because of his lack of touchdowns. He scored a touchdown in five of his first six games to start the season but has now gone four straight games without one. Receiving touchdowns can often be a variance stat. It’s possible for even the best receivers to go a few games without a touchdown but with enough targets per game, one of them is bound to end up being a touchdown.
Luckily for Jefferson, his target share is still among the highest in the NFL. Jefferson has 86 total targets this season, the seventh-most in the league. Sam Darnold will continue to look to his best receiver, especially in a tough divisional matchup against the Bears’ defense. The odds on Jefferson to score a touchdown have dropped almost every week of his scoreless streak and they now sit at +110. It is pretty rare to get plus-money on Justin Jefferson to find the end zone, so this is the week to buy low on Jefferson and bet on him to score a touchdown.
Pick: Justin Jefferson Anytime Touchdown (+110)
