NFL Week 15 player props, picks, best bets: Christian McCaffrey, Ja’Marr Chase, Puka Nacua

· New York Post

It’s been a bloodbath the last few weeks in the prop market.

We hope for better results in Week 15 than we did last week. If you follow the correct bankroll management strategy I laid out last week, you should have broken even on the Chase Brown rushing attempts prop.

Still, not the results we’re looking for when Quinshon Judkins was chased down at the one yard line.

Below we target some real stars who could have massive showings in Week 15 for our favorite player props and bets.

Week 15 NFL player props, picks, best bets

Christian McCaffrey over 118.5 rushing + receiving yards (-114, FanDuel) | 149.5 (+250, FanDuel)

Christian McCaffrey starts his quest to the Offensive Player of the Year award this week as the 49ers look to traunce the Titans this week. The spread is 12.5, and while I do project this game to be a bit closer than that, I still think McCaffrey gets his production in bunches on Sunday.

McCaffrey is over 118.5 rushing + receiving in two of his last three games and the Ttians don’t defend running backs very well at all.

Tennessee is 20th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, giving up 97.77 rushing yards and 29.38 receiving yards per game.

That adds up to the over and while Brian Robinson Jr. will certainnly gobble up some of that production, I still like McCaffrey to show out in a big way this week.

Ja’Marr Chase over 87.5 receiving yards (-118, BetMGM Sportsbook) | 169.5 (+1080, DraftKings)

Ja’Marr Chase absolutely owns the Ravens. Here’s his last three performances against Baltimore.

  • 11/27/2025: 7/110/0
  • 11/7/2024: 11/264/3
  • 10/6/2024: 10/193/2

Chase has been dominant against Baltimore over his career, going for at least 193 yards in three of his nine career games against the Ravens.

There is also no Tee Higgins due to a concussion, so that’s an even bigger reason to point to Chase as being the beneficary of loads of volume for the Bengals.

Joe Burrow is going to be looking to throw a ton this week against the Ravens and Chase is the perfect guy here. As always, don’t over expose yourself, bet enough that the low end of the over/under (87.5) so that you break even if he doesn’t go nuclear with 170 yards.

Puka Nacua over 8.5 receptions (+150, The ScoreBet) | Over 12.5 receptions (+1140, DraftKings)

Puka Nacua has not been hitting these reception numbers much this year, but the Lions’ secondary is a disaster and I expect that game total to go over.

The Lions are without Terrion Arnold among other cornerbacks injuries as the Lions allow the second most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Expect a big game from Nacua in this shootout spot.

Nacua has hti 13 receptions in one game this year, so we know it’s possible, but we’ll need a shootout.

I like the Over for this game as well as overs for props as the Lions need this game to get in.

Don’t overexpose yourself but this is a good spot to win big on the Rams’ superstar receiver.
