Super Bowl LVIII is almost here, as the San Francisco 49ers face the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV. While we still have our fantasy postseason leagues at stake, there’s going to be a ton of wagering on the big game including player props. With that in mind, I did some research on the stats and trends that you need to know about some of the biggest names and the most popular props that will be played. That includes the wideouts, Rashee Rice, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Here’s some info you’ll need to know before placing your own bets!
Super Bowl fantasy player rankings
Rashee Rice PropsReceptions: 6.5
Rice has posted at least seven catches in six of his 19 games (32%), and he’s hit that mark in just two of his last five games. In that time, he averaged 6.2 catches.
The 49ers have allowed seven or more receptions to opposing wide receivers 10 times. In the 20 instances in which a wideout had at least seven targets in a single game against them, that player hit the seven-catch mark just 50% of the time.
Receiving yards: 66.5
Rice has recorded 67 or more receiving yards just six times in his 19 games (32%). He has hit that mark just twice in his last five games, though he averaged 81.4 yards in that time. He did have 257 combined yards in only two games, though.
The 49ers have allowed opposing wide receivers to beat them for 67 or more yards 15 times. Since Week 15, just three have hit that mark. The most a receiver has had in that time is 87 yards, which was Amon-Ra St. Brown in the NFC Title Game.
Anytime touchdown: +100
Rice scored a touchdown in eight of his 19 games (42%) on the season, but he has scored just once in his last five contests and just three times in his last eight.
The 49ers allowed 18 touchdown catches to wideouts, and at least one player at the position has scored a touchdown against them in their last five games.
