NFL Week 16: Favorite player prop bets using PFF Key Insights

PFF's Key Insights were developed to help inform winning decisions, whether that’s betting a player prop or making a start/sit decision in fantasy football.

QB GENO SMITH, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: OVER 225.5 PASS YARDS (-113 on FanDuel)

Smith trails only Jared Goff and Joe Burrow in passing yards this season, as he’s carried much of the offensive burden for the Seahawks this season. The Vikings' defense has also tended to funnel teams toward attacking them through the air, ranking in the top five in pass rate faced and total passing yards allowed. Given that we should see plenty of volume from Smith and that there are several favorable matchup angles (success vs. blitz and success vs. two-high coverages), this is one of my favorite passing props of the week.
