One quarterback at the end of his career, the other just beginning what looks to be a great career. And two teams in need of washing out the bad taste of last week. It should be a great battle in LA, so let’s take a look at the best NFL Player Props for Sunday Night Football Week 11.
All odds courtesy of BetPrep, updated 9:00 AM Eastern on November 19, 2021.
Justin Herbert Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Prop: Justin Herbert Passing Yards
The Odds: Over 274.5 yards (-118)/Under 274.5 yards (-114)
A good game against Philadelphia as the exception, Justin Herbert has been struggling. Just 195 yards last week in a loss against the Vikings, and 223 against the Patriots, and 195 against the Ravens. The Chargers, who started 4-1 and have now lost three of their last four.
But Herbert is still very good, and he’s too good to stay down for long. Plus, the Steelers have been prone to giving up a big day through the air, and now they are expecting to be without All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
That should help open up the deep strike for Herbert, which has been missing the last few weeks. Justin Fields threw for 291 yards against Pittsburgh, Teddy Bridgewater went for 288, and Derek Carr threw for 382. Herbert is better than all of them and should get close to breaking 300.

Najee Harris Vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Prop: Najee Harris Rushing Yards
The Odds: Over 86.5 yards (-111)/Under 86.5 yards (-119)
More than the Chargers offense, it’s the defense that has been letting this team down. Surprising, considering the defensive pedigree of first-year head coach Brandon Staley.
L.A. has given up 109 yards to Tony Pollard, 100 to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, 161 to Nick Chubb, and Dalvin Cook and Antonio Gibson each went for over 90. The 155.1 yards per game the Chargers allow on the ground is dead last in the NFL.
Najee Harris is among the best rookies in football and has gone over 91 yards in three of his last five games. It would be stunning if the Chargers slowed him down.
Keenan Allen Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Prop: Keenan Allen Receiving Yards
The Odds: Over 76.5 yards (-116)/Under 76.5 yards (-114)
The yardage lull that Keenan Allen hit in October is over. After four straight games of less than 75 yards, including three games of 50 yards or less, he is back. Allen went for 104 against the Eagles and caught eight passes for 98 yards against the Vikings.
The touchdowns haven’t been there, as Allen has just two. But his 65 catches and 698 yards put him on pace for 122 catches and 1,318 yards. It would be a career-high in receptions and his most yards since 2017.
With a big day expected from Justin Herbert, and Allen his leader in targets with more than 10 per game, the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is a safe bet to hit the over.
