Best NFL Wild Card Player Props For Sunday Games

Wild card weekend includes NFL games on three days, with three contests set for Sunday. The Buffalo Bills will host the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. ET, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at 4:30 p.m. ET, and the action will wrap up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Washington Commanders at 8 p.m. ET. 

We’re bringing you our top NFL player props to consider in Sunday’s wild card games, with some looks on the over and the under, as well as to consider using in a same-game parlay at your favorite sportsbook app. 

Bucky Irving Wild Card Player Prop Bet (TB vs. WAS)

Over 17.5 rush attempts: Over +105 on BetMGM

• Irving could certainly get to his prop of 86.5 rushing yards, but the attempts are attainable regardless. The Bucs should continue to feed their rookie after he turned 39 carries into 202 yards (5.2 yards per carry) in their final two regular season games. Rachaad White handled six carries in Week 17 and zero in Week 18 with the division on the line. When Tampa hosted Washington in Week 1, White managed just 31 yards on 15 carries, and Irving turned nine totes into 62 yards. Washington’s defense ranks 29th in EPA against the run on first and second downs, and Tampa’s offense ranks second in rush EPA since Week 10, which is right around when Irving took over the backfield. 

Dalton Kincaid Wild Card Player Prop Bet (BUF vs. DEN)

Over 34.5 receiving yards: Over -110 on DraftKings

• The Broncos have a pair of elite cornerbacks in Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss, which forces opposing offenses to attack their defense on the interior. Kincaid draws a much more favorable matchup than Buffalo’s receivers against a defense that is good everywhere but is allowing the ninth-most receptions per game to tight ends. Kincaid was relatively quiet down the stretch as he returned from a knee sprain he suffered in Week 10, and he didn’t play in Week 18 while Dawson Knox chased a contract incentive. Kincaid has drawn the most deep targets among tight ends with the second-most unrealized air yards, so he’s an explosive play away from topping this prop with Josh Allen capable of extending plays and throwing accurate deep balls. 

Jayden Daniels Wild Card Player Prop Bet (WAS @ TB)

Under 234.5 passing yards: Under -115 on DraftKings

• The Bucs defense has struggled without star safety Antoine Winfield (knee), but he seems poised to return for the playoffs. Even without him, the Bucs have posted the top success rate per dropback on third down since Week 12. Jamel Dean (knee) could also return from an extended absence to give Todd Bowles some more safety at the back end when he dials up blitzes to try and fluster Daniels. The rookie has been sensational for Washington but is still only averaging 200.5 passing yards per game on the road and has struggled at times against the blitz. Daniels is capable of avoiding pressure with his legs, so leave the rushing yards out of this prop and simply fade his passing potential. 

Jaleel McLaughlin Wild Card Player Prop Bet (DEN @ BUF)

Under 32.5 rushing yards: Under -110 on DraftKings

• The Broncos have three different backs receiving touches with Javonte Williams and Audric Estime in the mix. McLaughlin played on just 29 snaps over two appearances in competitive games before spiking with 30 snaps in a blowout win over Kansas City’s backups to conclude the season. Now he’ll face a Bills defense that ranks fifth in EPA against the rush and faces a 40% rush-play rate at home because Buffalo is often leading. Sean Payton has been calling a ton of short passes to offset Denver’s lack of a run game, and McLaughlin is employed more often as a receiving threat than as a runner between the tackles.
