Minnesota Vikings Top 5 Player Props | NFL Wild Card Best Bets

Justin Jefferson Over 89.5 Receiving Yards

It's been an all-or-nothing kind of season for Justin Jefferson. Thankfully for Vikings fans, we anticipate more of the former in the Wild Card Round. 

Jefferson was contained by the Detroit Lions in Week 18, ending a dominant streak in which he totaled 309 receiving yards and 25 receptions in the three preceding games. More impressively, he hit double-digit targets in each one of those contests, representing a 32.2% target share. 

Jefferson isn't as bad as he showed last week. He should find success against an inferior Rams' secondary and eclipse 89.5 receiving yards.

Jordan Addison Over 58.5 Receiving Yards

Jordan Addison has cemented his place as one of the premier players on offense for the Vikings. The second-year wide-out had a tremendous end to the regular season, carrying the momentum into a first-round clash versus the Rams. 

Addison has quickly moved to the front of Sam Darnold's progression charts. The 22-year-old has been a primary target over the season's final few weeks. Since Week 14, he's totaled 300 receiving yards on 27 receptions and 43 targets.

While he's coming off a disastrous performance, Addison is a natural progression candidate at the outset of the playoffs. He'll be a focus on offense and should have no problem surpassing 58.5 receiving yards versus LA.

Aaron Jones Under 59.5 Rushing Yards

At the start of the season, Aaron Jones was the primary running back of the Vikings' offense. But diminishing production curtailed his workload, resulting in a more equal share with Cam Akers. That downward trajectory hampers his outlook in the playoffs, and we're betting he comes up short of 59.5 rushing yards at State Farm Stadium.

Jones has sputtered of late. The Vikings running back has totaled just 92 rushing yards on 22 carries over the last two weeks, paling in comparison to the 83 yards Akers has on just 12 carries.

While an illness could limit Akers's availability and effectiveness, it still isn't enough to push Jones over 59.5 rushing yards. The now 30-year-old is mustering 4.0 yards per carry over his last three, and we don't think he'll have the requisite workload to get him over his rushing total.

T.J. Hockenson Anytime Touchdown Scorer +220

This was a tough season for T.J. Hockenson. The Vikings tight end had to work his way back from an ACL injury, rejoining his team near the halfway point. By then, Darnold had already built chemistry with his receivers, limiting Hockenson's ceiling. Nevertheless, he remains a big red zone target and could finally break out of his touchdown slump against the Rams. 

Hockenson has yet to record a touchdown this season. But we're betting he snaps out of that funk against the Rams. LA is notoriously bad at covering opposing tight ends. Last week, they gave up 63 yards on five receptions to Noah Fant. The week prior, Trey McBride torched LA for 12 receptions and 123 yards. The common threads between both performances were that both led their respective teams in receiving yards and found the endzone. 

Hockenson will become the latest tight end to beat the Rams and is the premier value pick to score.
