'MNF' Week 13 player props: Riding some Jaguars tonight

As much as we'd love to find a player prop on both sides tonight, it's clear the value lies more with the Jacksonville Jaguars offense in Week 13's edition of "Monday Night Football." Let's end our NFL week strong with a pair of player props tonight.

Christian Kirk over 21.5 longest reception (-110 DraftKings)

The Cincinnati Bengals have allowed the second-most passes per game of 20+ yards this season at 3.91, which should open the door for plenty of explosive plays from the Jacksonville Jaguars offense.

While Calvin Ridley has been having some bigger games of late, Christian Kirk has been incredibly steady at this number. He's logged a catch of 22+ yards in nine of his last 10 games, more often than not catching a ball for 30+ yards. 

Ridley is a good bet too, but it's hard to shake this consistency.

D'Ernest Johnson over 19.5 rushing yards (-114 FanDuel)

Travis Etienne is expected to play tonight, but he is a bit banged up, which makes D'Ernest Johnson a name worth monitoring.

Johnson has seven carries in two straight games, usurping backup running back duties from Tank Bigsby. Johnson has finished with 19 and 20 yards in these two games, so while his efficiency leaves something to be desired, the workload is solid for the line we're asking him to cover.

The Bengals are allowing the second-highest yards per carry this season and the fourth-most rushing yards per game. In a potential blowout, we could be seeing plenty of Johnson tonight. We'll bite at this low line.
