NFL Player Prop #1: Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler Over 38.5 Yards Receiving (-113)
Austin Ekeler currently sits at 53.4 yards receiving over the season's first ten games. He was more involved in the passing game when Keenan Allen and Mike Williams were out for the Chargers. However, Williams is again ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, and Ekeler figures to pick up some of the targets left over by the big man's absence. He failed to reach the 30-yard threshold receiving last week as the Chiefs were more than generous in the ground game.
With Arizona's strengths opposite KC, Ekeler should once again find more success receiving than rushing.
NFL Player Prop #2: Arizona Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins over 83.5 Yards Receiving (-113)
DeAndre Hopkins is just a hair under 100 yards receiving per game for the season. However, the star wideout will no longer be the only X-factor this week with the return of fellow WR Marquise Brown. However, Hopkins has been a bright spot for an Arizona offense that has been anemic over the last few weeks. Peppering the 30-year-old wideout is always a clever way to move the chains; nothing should change by adding Brown back to the mix.
Greg Dortch, who has 34 receptions, is currently a game-time decision. If he can't go, that opens up even more targets for Hopkins, even if Brown gets a normal workload.
NFL Player Prop #3: Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler Any Time Touchdown Scorer (-210)
The Chargers are desperate, needing to string together some wins to stay alive in the wild card hunt. A Sunday date with the 4-7 Cardinals presents a golden opportunity for LA to get back in the win column. Ekeler has been a touchdown machine, already finding paydirt 11 times this season. He should be leaned on heavily on Sunday, making his chances of finding the endzone all that much more promising.
