Best Justin Jefferson Player Props Bets vs. Bengals

As the Minnesota Vikings prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals, all eyes are on star receiver Justin Jefferson, who is expected to play despite a recent chest injury. Jefferson’s dynamic playmaking ability has been a key factor for the Vikings’ offense, and his performance will be crucial as they look to secure a win against a Bengals team that has shown resilience even with backup quarterback Jake Browning at the helm. Jefferson’s presence on the field could be the difference-maker in a tightly contested matchup.

Justin Jefferson Over 75.5 Receiving – Yards (-115)

Justin Jefferson’s over on receiving yards is a compelling pick for several reasons. Firstly, his season average of 99.67 yards per game is well above the line of 75.5 yards, indicating a consistent ability to rack up significant yardage. Despite missing seven games due to a hamstring injury, Jefferson has maintained a high level of production when on the field, showcasing his importance to the Vikings’ passing attack. Additionally, with the Vikings’ starting quarterback Kirk Cousins out and Nick Mullens stepping in, Jefferson’s role as a reliable target becomes even more critical. Mullens will likely look to Jefferson as a safety blanket, which could result in ample opportunities for Jefferson to exceed the yardage prop.

Justin Jefferson Over 24.5 Receiving – Longest Gain (-110)

Choosing the over on Justin Jefferson’s longest reception gain is justified by his track record of making big plays. Jefferson’s season mean for the longest gain per game stands at an impressive 30.5 yards, indicating his capability to break off substantial receptions. This propensity for explosive plays aligns with the Vikings’ need for impactful offensive moments, especially given their current quarterback situation. Furthermore, Jefferson’s return to the field after injury and his determination to contribute significantly to his team’s playoff push suggest that he will be looking to make a statement. His ability to stretch the field and create mismatches against the Bengals’ secondary should provide him with the opportunity to secure at least one reception that surpasses the 24.5-yard line set for his longest gain.
