5 Underdog Player Props to Cash In on Super Bowl LVIII

Noah Gray 40+ Receiving Yards (+700)

To wrap up, we’re again looking at the Chiefs' receiving room with Noah Gray. Gray hasn’t had 40 yards in a game this season, but he’s had at least 30 six different times. That’s only a few away from 40! Andy Reid loves getting creative with his tight ends, and we know the 49ers will focus on Travis Kelce. I won’t rule out Gray seeing two or three catches, with one being a chunk play. At +700, let’s roll the dice.

Brock Purdy 25+ Rushing Yards (+310)

Brock Purdy has combined for 11 rushing attempts across both of the 49ers’ postseason games, notching 48 yards on the ground against the Lions most recently. Again, anything goes in the Super Bowl, and after seeing Purdy fair decently across the past two games when in trouble, I don’t imagine he’ll be hesitant to break out of the pocket to pick up some yardage.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Most Receiving Yards of Game (+3100)

We have to get a little nuts with these touts, and this is as crazy as it gets. Objectively, this bet is absurd, but give me a chance to convince you. When breaking down the pass-catchers, I view it as the big four and then everyone else: the Chiefs’ tandem of Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce and the 49ers’ tandem of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. Those four will essentially cap the upside of the others' production. After them, outside of George Kittle, there is no one else to be worried about. When looking at high yardage, we need to target deep threats, and we know Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will dial up a shot deep downfield to Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He had a longest catch of 38 yards against the Ravens and a longest catch of 62 yards against the Bills, so the potential is there. What if the Chiefs are playing from behind and must air it out quickly? What if MVS breaks a tackle and gets another 62-yard catch? There are many possibilities here, and getting this at +3100 makes this worth some action.

Elijah Mitchell Anytime TD (+1100)

We only expect Elijah Mitchell to get a few carries on Sunday, but after seeing him find the endzone against the Lions, who is to say he won’t do it again? Obviously, for Mitchell, the situation needs to be correct. Christian McCaffrey must be injured or coming off a big breathtaking run for Mitchell to get the green light. That happened last week as CMC took a 25-yard run to the three-yard line, where Mitchell entered the game on first and Goal to give CMC a breather. At +1100, I have bet on dumber things in the past.

Noah Gray 40+ Receiving Yards (+700)
