Here are our favorite Wild Card Weekend ThriveFantasy Player Props.

Saturday Games

Our first SUPER Wild Card Weekend is here, and I’m going to be a Debbie Downer and pick a bunch of unders for Saturday’s games!!! I’m expecting the Rams and the Seahawks to play in a low-scoring affair no matter who is at quarterback for the Rams. I’m taking Robert Woods (LAR) under 61.5 receiving yards (105 pts) with so much uncertainty at quarterback for the Rams. Woods hasn’t topped 56 receiving yards in his last four games with this passing game deteriorating, and he’s combined for just 81 receiving yards in two games against Seattle this season. I’m also grabbing D.K. Metcalf (Sea) under 75.5 receiving yards (105 pts) with a matchup looming against Jalen Ramsey this week. Metcalf has fallen below 65+ receiving yards in six of his last eight games after topping 90+ receiving yards in seven of his first eight games. Metcalf has muscled out just 8/87 receiving on 12 targets in two games against Jalen Ramsey and company. For the nightcap, I’m taking Alex Smith (Was) under 211.5 passing yards (100 pts) because it looks like Taylor Heinicke could see some work with Smith at less than full health. Smith hasn’t averaged more than 6.6 YPA in each of his last six games, and I could see Ron Rivera turning to Heinicke if the Football Team falls behind by multiple scores on Saturday. Good luck! — Tom Brolley

Sunday Games

After totally bumming everyone out with three unders on the Saturday slate, I’ll have a little more fun with some overs on the Sunday slate. I’m taking J.K. Dobbins (Bal) over 65.5 rushing yards (110 pts) in the marquee game of the weekend. He’s seen between 11-15 carries in each of his last six games with a 6.4 YPC average. Dobbins started his current hot streak against the Titans in Week 11 with 15/70/1 rushing, and Tennessee’s defense has given up 21+ FP to backs in three straight games (David Johnson/Dillon/Swift). I’m grabbing Emmanuel Sanders (NO) over 47.5 receiving yards (95 pts) in the second game of the day. Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara may not be ready to shoulder a massive workload, and Sanders has posted 56+ receiving yards in six of his last seven full games with Drew Brees at quarterback. Finally, I’m looking at Diontae Johnson (Pit) over 61.5 receiving yards (100 pts) against an undermanned Browns secondary. I’m expecting the Steelers to stay aggressive downfield as they’ve been over the last six quarters, and Diontae turned in 3/96 receiving on four targets playing with Mason Rudolph last week. Enjoy this super-sized Wild Card Weekend and good luck as always! — Tom Brolley
