Wild Card Rushing Leader Odds

Player Team DraftKings
De'Von Achane Dolphins Miami Dolphins +250
Kyren Williams Rams Los Angeles Rams
+275
Aaron Jones Packers Green Bay Packers +700
Rachaad White Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers +850
Devin Singletary Texans Houston Texans
+850
James Cook Bills Buffalo Bills +950
Najee Harris Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers
+1,000
Tony Pollard Cowboys Dallas Cowboys
+1,100
Raheem Mostert Dolphins Miami Dolphins
+1,100
Isiah Pacheco Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs
+1,300

With weather odds expecting a cold and chilly atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane finds himself atop the board for the expected rushing yards leader 

However, while Achane — and even Isiah Pacheco — could be due for big workloads in the cold, so too could Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard

Despite a disappointing campaign that saw Pollard average 4.0 yards per carry as the Cowboys' consensus No. 1 option, expect Dallas to lean on the former Pro Bowler when it plays host to the Green Bay Packers.

Although Pollard has eclipsed 100+ rushing yards just once this season, he'll face an opportune matchup against a Packers defense that allowed 128.3 rushing yards per game during the regular season (28th in the NFL).

Dallas is 8-0 SU at home this season and is listed as 7.5-home chalk on Sunday. Expect the Cowboys to pounce on their opponent early and play from ahead throughout, prompting a run-heavy attack for the remainder of the contest.

PICK: Tony Pollard (+1,100 at DraftKings)

Wild Card Receiving Leader Odds

Player Team DraftKings
CeeDee Lamb Cowboys Dallas Cowboys +330
Amon-Ra St. Brown Lions Detroit Lions
+550
Tyreek Hill Dolphins Miami Dolphins +600
Amari Cooper Browns Cleveland Browns +1,100
A.J. Brown Eagles Philadelphia Eagles
+1,100
Puka Nacua Rams Los Angeles Rams +1,200
DeVonta Smith Eagles Philadelphia Eagles
+1,200
Cooper Kupp Rams Los Angeles Rams
+1,500
Nico Collins Texans Houston Texans
+1,600
Mike Evans Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers
+1,800

Following an injury-plagued campaign that saw Cooper Kupp tally just 737 yards in 12 starts, oddsmakers are seeming to forget how pivotal of a role Kupp played in the Los Angeles Rams playoff run two years ago. 

Kupp has eclipsed 100+ yards in two of his final four regular-season games, and the former Super Bowl MVP has been targeted 36 times in that stretch, compared to Puka Nacua's 33.

Now facing a Detroit Lions defense that has been getting torched through the air (247.4 yards per game, 28th in the league), expect Kupp to turn back the clock as the All-Pro WR and Matthew Stafford go to work inside a pass-friendly indoor setting at Ford Field. 

Oddsmakers are expecting a shootout in the Motor City with a listed Over/Under of 51.5, so backing Kupp at +1,500 odds provides notable value.  

PICK: Cooper Kupp (+1,500 at DraftKings)

Wild Card Passing Yards Leader Odds

Player Team DraftKings
Joe Flacco Browns Cleveland Browns +500
Dak Prescott Cowboys Dallas Cowboys +500
Matthew Stafford Rams Los Angeles Rams +550
Jared Goff Lions Detroit Lions
+700
Patrick Mahomes Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs +850
C.J. Stroud Texans Houston Texans
+900
Tua Tagovailoa Dolphins Miami Dolphins
+950
Baker Mayfield Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers
+1,400
Josh Allen Bills Buffalo Bills
+1,500
Jalen Hurts Eagles Philadelphia Eagles
+1,700
Mason Rudolph Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers
+5,000

While Joe Flacco and Dak Prescott are currently tied atop the board to lead the weekend in passing yards, Matthew Stafford looms the largest at +550. 

The Rams gunslinger has had a nice comeback season, helping lead Los Angeles back to the postseason with a 92.5 passer rating and a 24/11 TD/INT ratio. Better yet, the 35-year-old is entering the Wild Card round on the backs of two consecutive 300+ passing-yard performances, and he has eclipsed the 350+ mark in two of his seven career postseason starts. 

We're already banking on Kupp to have a big day through the air against the Lions' feeble defense. Regardless of whether the Rams or playing from ahead or behind, Sean McVay's offense will remain aggressive through the air with a dangerous Detroit offense manning the other sideline. 

PICK: Matthew Stafford (+550 at DraftKings)
