Santa Claus was good to us this Christmas, as our NFL player props went a solid 2-1 on Monday. Zay Flowers went way over his receptions prop and Jalen Hurts barely stayed under his passing touchdowns number to fill us with holiday cheer. Our lone loser was on Darren Waller but overall, it was a nice evening for the EWB crew.

FanDuel is the only US sportsbook that currently has receptions props up, so we'll give them some business on this one. Mr. Njoku has been a favorite target of this Cleveland offense ever since veteran QB Joe Flacco took the reins. The former Miami Hurricane has easily gone over this receptions number in 3 straight ball games.
The Jets defense is one of the best in the league, but the 6-4, 246-pound Njoku is a matchup nightmare, especially when he's going up against a safety or a linebacker. For the season, Njoku has a median receptions number of 5 and a median targets number of 8!
Remember how we said that Njoku is one of Flacco's favorite targets? Here's a stat that backs that up in a big way. Njoku has gotten 31 targets over the last 3 games. This one should fly up and Over this receptions total.
Once again, FanDuel is the only legal sportsbook with a number up on this one. This is much juicier than I care for, as I normally like to keep all of my player prop bets under -150 or so. That being said, there is too much value to pass up on with this one.
It's no secret that journeyman QB Trevor Siemian is a check-down specialist for the Jets. Heck, he checked it down so much last week that Mr. Hall ended up with 12 receptions against the Commanders! Look for more of the same this week against this very stingy Cleveland Browns defense.
Hall's receptions median is just 4 this season and his median target share number is just 4 as well. However, the former Iowa State standout has hauled in 4 or more receptions in 8 of his last 10 ball games. This should be another easy Over, so in the famous words of Sir Mix Alot, we'll Jump On It!
