Kimani Vidal Receiving Yards Ladder
Vidal’s seen extremely limited snaps throughout his rookie season. He’s recorded 5 receptions for 62 yards and 1 touchdown on only 7 targets. He’s seen a total of 99 pass snaps, running 67 routes this season.
Most importantly, Vidal’s taken over as the passing down running back. He saw a season-high 32 passing snaps and 16 routes last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s flashed earlier in the season, posting 40 yards on only 2 receptions against the Denver Broncos.
Vidal gets a great matchup against the Denver Broncos this week. They have a solid defense, but they’ve struggled against receiving backs. The Broncos are giving up the seventh-most receiving yards (40.0) per game to opposing running backs. Denver is also giving up the fourth-most receptions (5.3) per game to backs.
We know Vidal has the chance to be electric with the ball in his hands, and he could see a few extra opportunities in this game. He should be locked into the passing snaps again, making him a high-risk, high-reward ladder option.
What to Bet: Kimani Vidal 25+ receiving yards through 50+ receiving yards
Courtland Sutton Receiving Yards Ladder
Sutton’s 2024 has been the tale of two seasons. Overall, he’s posted 66 receptions for 878 yards and 6 touchdowns on 111 targets. His season can be broken down into two sections, though.
In Week 7, Sutton saw 0 targets against the New Orleans Saints. Before that, he averaged 3.5 receptions, 46.2 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns on 7.5 targets per game. Since that dud, he’s averaging 6.4 receptions, 85.9 yards, and 0.6 touchdowns on 9.4 targets per game.
Sutton’s quietly posted 97+ receiving yards in four of his last seven games. He’s been the breakout star for Bo Nix, and it’s clear that the rookie is performing better than ever as the season progresses. It’s also important to note that the star WR is the only receiver locked into major snaps for Denver.
Sutton gets an interesting matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. They’re a solid defense, but they have struggled at times against wide receivers. The Chargers are allowing 150.4 receiving yards per game to opposing receivers.
Both of these teams could rely on their passing games tonight, and Sutton should be the focal point once again.
What to bet: Cortland Sutton 60+ receiving yards through 120+ receiving yards
