NFL playoffs: Two player props for Saturday's divisional-round action

We had ourselves a real solid wild-card weekend on NFL prop straights, and now it's time to carry that momentum over into the divisional round. Saturday's action will see Houston vs. Baltimore and Green Bay vs. San Francisco. There are defensive vulnerabilities on both ends, and we've cut it down to our two favorite looks from the bunch.

Brandon Aiyuk over 65.5 receiving yards (-120 Fanatics)

Green Bay has allowed the eighth-most passes of 20+ yards this season, and just last week, Dak Prescott completed multiple 40+ yard passes that powered 100+ yard games for CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

Brandon Aiyuk is the clear deep threat in this offense to take advantage, averaging 17.9 yards/catch, owning a 14.3 average depth of target, and nearly 21% of his targets come 20+ yards down the field.

With a long reception line of 25.5, books are expecting Aiyuk to break off a big gain at home Saturday night. Aiyuk has caught a 20+ yard pass 13 times this season, averaging 94.5 yards/game in those games and going over this line eight times.

Bump that up to a 25+ yard catch, and he's averaging 105.4 yards/game in those games, including 109+ yards in all five home games. I sense a ladder candidate in this one.

.5u: Devin Singletary over 58.5 rushing yards & over 2.5 receptions (+235 ESPN)

In a game with C.J. Stroud and Lamar Jackson going at it, I don't blame you if you're confused to see Devin Singletary's name greeting you.

As I went through the vulnerabilities for these games, the clearest area of interest against this Baltimore defense is rushing yards and running back receptions. The Ravens are allowing 4.5 yards per rush, the seventh-highest mark in the NFL, and they're allowing 5.06 receptions/game to RBs, the ninth-most in the league.

With that, Singletary entered my radar. Now, wouldn't a pivot to total rushing and receiving yards make a lot of sense if I'm set to act on these two target spots? That's what I thought, but Singletary is remarkably inconsistent at this 80.5 total yards from scrimmage line.

Instead, I'm pivoting to a simple combo of these props. Singletary has hit this rushing yards mark in five of his last six games, averaging 73.17 rushing yards/game. Four of the past five RBs to see Baltimore have gone for 100+ yards, and Singletary has a 16.5 rush attempts line, he's going to see work.

As for receptions, Singletary has 3+ catches in four of his last five games. He has not turned that into receiving yardage success, totaling just 12 receiving yards in his last three games. It's for that reason I'm taking the receptions and letting the rest be.

Nine straight RBs to see the Ravens have recorded 3+ receptions.
