  • Amon-Ra St. Brown, Puka Nacua, CeeDee Lamb, Nico Collins, and Tyreek Hill are Tier 2.

  • Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, Drake London, Malik Nabers, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Brian Thomas Jr., and Davante Adams are Tier 3.

A superstar quarterback can make an average receiver look good and a good receiver great. But great receivers, the kind that will make an average quarterback look great, are the ones whose NFL receiving yards leader odds you want to pay attention to the most throughout the season.

NFL Receiving Yards Leader Predictions

It is hard to argue against betting on Ja’Marr Chase, but there is one fact that can’t be denied: there hasn’t been a repeat leader since Calvin Johnson went back-to-back in 2011 and 2012. So, if it’s not going to be Chase again this season, then who?

Nico Collins deserves to be at the forefront of that conversation. After all, he led the NFL through Week 5 last season before getting hurt and missing a few weeks. It is worth noting that he still finished the season with 1,000+ yards despite missing five weeks.

If C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense can take a step forward this season and everyone stays relatively healthy, the sky could be the limit for Collins.

For many of the players currently in the top 15 of the Caesars betting board, we will not know whether they can challenge Chase until the season gets underway. Why? Because they are playing on new teams or with a different QB in Week 1 than last season.

NFL Receiving Yards Leader - My Pick

Right now, the last person I’d bet on is Chase. Because even if he has another slow start, his odds will probably not change much if at all since he had a slow start last season but still came out on top. No, at this stage, I’m looking for value. 

I’m putting my money on guys that can challenge for the crown—like Nico Collins. Had he not missed those five weeks, who knows how the season would have ended…or if Chase would have come out on top. Despite missing so much time, he was one of only 24 players to finish with 1000+ receiving yards.

Other than Collins, I am not interested in too many of the top 15. They either have questionable quarterback situations (i.e., Minnesota, Atlanta, Seattle, Las Vegas, New York Giants, etc.), are better known for running the ball (Detroit), or they are so bad at running the ball defenses can key on the passing game (Dallas).

Nfl Most Receiving Yards Predictions

How to Bet on NFL Receiving Yards Leader Odds

The receiving yards leader is a futures market as it is something that takes the length of the regular season to decide.  But there is no vote, and it is not a popularity contest; it is all about how you play and produce more than everyone else.

Like any other bet, the ‘How’ has to begin with research: style of offense, the quarterback, offensive line, offensive play caller, who the No. 2 receiver is, etc. Once you decide who you want to put your money on, do the following:

  •  Pick a sportsbook (or books) to register for an account with and complete the registration process.

  • Deposit money into your account(s).

  • Locate the NFL Receiving Yards odds page, locate who you want to bet on, and place your bet.

How to Read NFL Receiving Yards Leader Odds

The odds for the NFL Receiving Yards Leader, as all futures markets do, consist of a three-digit number and either a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. A team will have less than a 50% chance of winning if it has plus money odds and will have a better than 50% chance if it has minus money odds.

Let’s examine a couple of examples:

 Ja’Marr Chase has opened with +550 odds to lead the league in receiving yards this season. If you were to place a $100 bet on him to do so at those odds, you’d receive a $650 payout, your stake plus $550 in winnings.

Now, let’s say it’s Week 17 and Chase leads the next closest player by 75 yards, but that guy is playing with his third-string quarterback. Chase is going to be a heavy favorite at this point, we’ll say his odds would be -550.

What that means is that you’d need to bet $550 in order to win $100.

Where to Bet on NFL Receiving Yards Leader Odds

Most, if not all, online sportsbooks will have competitive odds on NFL markets and a solid sports betting app for your mobile devices. So, when I’m looking for a sportsbook to bet on NFL Receiving Yards Leader odds, I’m looking for one thing: promos.

It depends on how I want to approach betting on this market. If I feel like going all in on someone and betting big (i.e., up to $1,500), I want to go with a sportsbook that offers some form of bet insurance, such as a no-sweat bet or First Bet. BetMGM Sportsbook offers a welcome bonus exactly like that when signing up with our promo code WSNSPORTS: Get Up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets*. That way, I can put down $1,500 on Ja’Marr Chase, and if he loses, I get my stake back in bonus bets.

*Bonus Bets Expire in 7 Days. One New Customer Offer Only. Add’l terms.

But if I decide to go with a blanket approach and place a bunch of smaller bets, then I’m leaning towards FanDuel Sportsbook since their welcome bonus is awarded in the form of bonus bets. Their current offer is as follows: Bet $5, Get $300 in Bonus Bets if Your Bet Wins. That way, I can put $25 down on Chase, Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, and CeeDee Lamb (or other players).

As long as one wins, I’m happy. If they all lose, I’m not out any money.
