NFL player props are already starting to populate for the 2026 season, and we couldn’t be more excited. There’s no better time to start calling your shot on who is going to perform, or underperform, in 2026. Today, we’ll look at receiving yards. Wide receiver or running back, there are almost 50 players available. Here are a few of my favorite season receiving yards player props for the 2026 NFL best bets.
Justin Jefferson Over 1,150.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
I’m all chips back in on Justin Jefferson in 2026. 2025 was brutal for the star wide receiver. JJ McCarthy was not HIM. Then, Max Brosmer was somehow worse than McCarthy when he took over. The team acquired Kyle Murray this offseason, and they fully understand they don’t have time to play around with the quarterback position. Ultimately, I believe Kyler will get the chance to be the Viking quarterback. That is the best-case scenario. Murray is a true professional; he’ll get the ball to Jefferson plenty. Jefferson has easily cleared this number in four of his six seasons with the Vikings he has gone over 1,400 yards.
Alec Pierce Under 875.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Someone I’m not in on, Alec Pierce. The Indianapolis Colts made him their guy this offseason. They gave him the bag, and they shipped Michael Pittman out of town. Pierce had his first 1,000-yard season last year, the only time in his four seasons he managed to go over this total. Did he happen to break out in year four, and now he’s become a superstar? Or is this more of a case of he just put together a great year when all the stars aligned?
I’m inclined to think it was the latter. The Colts offense came out firing, and Daniel Jones looked like an MVP candidate. We’ve seen that story before with Jones, however. Looks great, then disappears. On top of that, he tore his Achilles, and it’s unknown if he’ll be back at the start of the year. Even if he is, will he look like he did? If not, it’s probably Anthony Richardson. On top of that, Pierce did it as the #2 to Pittman. As the top dog, can he accomplish the same thing? I think no, give me the under.
Emeka Egbuka Over 850.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene last season as a rookie. He came out swinging and looked like the next All-Star wide receiver. Then, things cooled off. After breaking 85+ yards in three of his first five games, he only had 41 or more yards in two of the final eight games of the season. Despite that, Egubaka still caught 938 yards on the year, covering this number. It’s not uncommon to see rookies struggle down the stretch in their first year. As NFL defenses get film on them, and the long grind of an NFL schedule.
The talent is there, the offense is there. Those two things matter. And, he’s got a reliable quarterback in Baker Mayfield throwing him the ball. Egbuka is a star, will be a star, and we’ve only scratched the surface. Mike Evans is gone, and it’s time to step up and be the top dog. A role Emeka is built for. He’ll cruise past this number, leaving no sweat for us.
De’Von Achane Over 425.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
We’ve even got some running back options, and here is one I really like. De’Von Achane has turned into a proven producer on offense. Last season, he stacked up 488 yards through the air, while in 2024, he almost hit 600 yards receiving. Neither of the Dolphins teams was very good, especially not the 2025 version. That’s the only knock you’d have against the over this year, because Miami likely won’t be a great team.
That being said, they’ve brought in Malik Willis, who should easily open things up with his ability to move around and spread the offense out. Tyreek is gone, Waddle is gone. Guess who is going to have to be the offensive production for this Dolphins team, whether they are good or bad? It’s De’Von Achane. He’s gone over it two years in a row; let’s make it three in 2026.
