NFL Prop Bets: Week 15 (2019)
The NFL Prop Bets we are targeting in Week 15 have a distinct NFC West flair to them. We will bet both with and against the division. DraftKings Sportsbook has a bevy of tempting props this week but I settled on four that make a ton of sense based on the match-up and situation. They also provide value with the total, odds or both. So who should we target in Week 15 of the NFL season?

Matt Ryan – Over 250 passing yards (-112)
Some may look at this match-up for Matt Ryan and worry, but I see opportunity. We are getting a quarterback who has only gone under 300 passing yards twice all season long. He should have to throw a ton in this game. Julio Jones and Austin Hooper should both be active and Russell Gage has shown an ability to produce. He should fill the shoes on Calvin Ridley nicely. The 49ers defense has been rattled by injuries and the secondary is a major concern this week. Richard Sherman, Jaquaski Tartt, and K'Waun Williams will all miss this game. Dee Ford will also miss this week after returning for a short period last week. Look for Ryan to have to throw to keep pace and soar over this total on the road.
Chris Carson – Over 86.5 Rushing Yards (-112)
This week sets up to be a monster one for Chris Carson. The Seahawks come into this game as 6 point road favorites per DraftKings Sportsbook. Seattle is facing a Panthers defense that has been awful against opposing rushers for the majority of the season. Devonta Freeman and Brian Hill combined for 146 yards last week. This was on the heels of Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice combining for 228. Unlike those backfields, Carson should see the vast majority of the work with Rashaad Penny out for the season. He should approach and likely exceed the century mark this week. Let's ride Carson to cover town this week!
Aaron Jones – Over 24.5 Receiving Yards
Yes, you read that right, we're targeting a running back as a pass-catcher. I'm hoping Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur realizes how much of an impact Aaron Jones can make in the passing game. The Packers running back has already gone over this total 6 times this year including 58 yards a week ago. There is also a really good chance that Akiem Hicks is back this week for the Bears. He was a massive part of Chicago's early-season success against the run. This could force the Packers to utilize Jones in the passing game more in order to keep him involved. Take the over in a game the Packers absolutely need.
David Njoku – Anytime Touchdown (+250)
David Njoku finally returned from injury last week. It wasn't an impressive performance with only one catch on three targets. I expect to see much more this week including a touchdown. The Arizona Cardinals are atrocious against opposing tight ends allowing 13 touchdowns to the position.. Fantasy Football owners have been targeting them all season. In fact, last week was only the third time all season Arizona didn't allow a touchdown to a tight end. If you want a little extra juice Njoku is 15/1 to catch the first touchdown which I'm absolutely on board with!
