Top 2023 Week 18 NFL prop picks

One play PropStarz loves for his NFL Week 18 props is Vikings star Justin Jefferson to go over 86.5 receiving yards in the NFC North battle with the Lions (1 p.m. ET). The 24-year-old has 50 catches in seven career games against Detroit, averaging 126 yards per contest. Detroit’s shaky pass defense comes off a game where it allowed 227 yards to Dallas star CeeDee Lamb last Saturday, so PropStarz expects fireworks. Jefferson is averaging 98 yards per game in 2023.

Nick Mullens is expected to start for Minnesota, and PropStarz expects that to be good for Jefferson. Mullens is among the Vikings quarterbacks who have struggled since Kirk Cousins’ injury, but he “is clearly not afraid to put some 50/50 balls up for Jefferson,” PropStarz says. No matter who has been under center, they have looked toward the superstar. Jefferson has been targeted 30 times over the past three games. He is averaging 98 yards in his nine starts this season. You can see all of PropStarz’s Week 1 NFL prop bets at SportsLine.
