NFL Receiving Yards Leader - My Pick

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (-800) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is currently leading the league in total receiving yards with 1,146 yards through Week 11, holding a significant lead of over 200 yards ahead of the next closest receiver. His success is driven by a unique combination of high volume and explosive playmaking, as evidenced by his league-leading 19 receptions of 20-plus yards and 6 receptions of 40-plus yards.

This performance, which includes a rate of 114.6 receiving yards per game, places him on a historic pace that could potentially break the NFL's single-season receiving yardage record, firmly positioning him as the favorite to finish the season on top.

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.

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 $150 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.
