With the NFL season fast approaching, I just can’t quit adding to my NFL futures portfolio. There are so many different markets and angles available. It’s great for degens like us, even if it seems overwhelming at first. Today I’m looking at the “Next Player To Record” section and focusing in on rushing yards. The mark they’ve set is 150+ yards. Let’s take a look at which wide receivers could cash our next player to record 150+ receiving yards futures.

2026 NFL Futures Bets: Next Player To Record 150+ Receiving Yards In A Game
Ja’Marr Chase (+900)
Ja’Marr Chase is the favorite in the next player to record 150+ receiving yards in a game futures for a good reason. He has already posted multiple 150-yard games. That includes games of 266, 264, 194, 165, and 161. Two of those came in 2025. Those explosions came on high target volume from Joe Burrow. However, other quarterbacks target him as well when Burrow is hurt. Chase regularly sees 10+ targets and turns them into chunk plays.
Zac Taylor’s offense still leans on the pass, especially when Burrow is healthy. The Bengals attack with vertical shots and intermediate crossings that let Chase use his speed and body control. They isolate him on the outside or motion him to create mismatches. In 2025, Chase produced 1,412 yards despite a slightly lower average, proving the big-game ceiling remains intact.
Chase thrives in games that turn into track meets, and with the Bengals defense, that happens often. The Bengals’ schedule includes several high-scoring opponents early on. One more factor helps me feel confident in this number. Chase’s yards-after-catch ability. When Burrow hit shim in stride, Chase can turn 15-yard catches into 40-yard gains. That extra juice pushes ordinary 100-yard days over the 150-yard threshold.
Puka Nacua (+1000)
Puka Nacua has already delivered eight career 150-yard games in his short career. That includes a historic three-game stretch in December of 2025 where he finished with 167, 181, and 225 yards. He led the NFL with 129 receptions and had 1,715 yards last season. Those numbers came inside Sean McVay’s motion-heavy, play-action attack. McVay moves Nacua all over the formation and uses him as both a receiver and sometimes a runner.
The Rams’ scheme creates easy yards after the catch. We’ve seen Nacua win at every level of the field and turn short throws into long gains. It helps that he has Matt Stafford throwing him the ball. Stafford is a very accurate veteran quarterback. Even with Davante Adams in the mix, Nacua commands a high target share because McVay designs plays specifically for him.
Defenses that load the box to stop Kyren Williams and Blake Corum leave Nacua open on play-action plays. That exact scheme produced his 225-yard outburst. As long as McVay keeps the offense balanced and aggressive, Nacua remains a prime candidate to cash the 150+ receiving yards futures early.
His recent three-game 150-yard streak proves he can string together monster performances. Few receivers in the league combine volume, efficiency, and big-play ability the way Nacua does.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+1000)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the entire NFL with 1,793 receiving yards in 2025. He posted multiple 150-yard games, including 162 against Jacksonville, 167 against Tennessee, and 153 in the NFC Championship game. Those performances came after he expanded his game beyond just playing in the slot. He now wins deep and intermediate routes, which opens the entire field.
Seattle’s new offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury, inherits a system that already featured heavy personnel and play-action. Smith-Njigba remains the clear WR1. The Seahawks will continue to use motion and play-action to get him isolated all over the field. Last season, he led the league in deep receiving yards, showing how he can stretch defenses and still pile up volume.
He’s looked to early and often. This is especially true because the rest of the supporting cast doesn’t demand a target share like his. When Seattle needs a big play, they throw it to JSN. His combination of route-running precision and vertical speed creates extra conditions. Bettors who fade the favorites in receiving yards futures should still consider JSN at 10/1.
The scheme change could even end up increasing his opportunities. Fleury has a tight-end background, but JSN being the primary target won’t stop.
George Pickens (+2500)
George Pickens exploded for 168 yards against Carolina last year after joining the Cowboys. He also had 146- and 144-yard games. He finished the season with 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. Those numbers came in Brian Schottenheimer’s motion-heavy, play-action scheme. Pickens lines up both on the outside and in the slot, which creates extra mismatches.
Schottenheimer increased pre-snap motion and play-action last season. Those concepts isolate Pickens against single coverage, which he’s good at beating. His 15-plus yards-per-catch average shows he wins down the field. The main thing is just Prescott having time to throw. It helps that he has another stud receiver on the field in CeeDee Lamb. Defenses can’t double-team them both.
I expect Pickens will be used even more in 2026. Extra alignment variety should produce even more favorable matchups for him. Pickens already owns a 195-yard game from his Steelers days and then got one for the Cowboys. The 150+ receiving yards are well within reach for him. At +2500, he offers a great reward if he hits. The Cowboys offense plays fast and throws often, which will help Pickens.
