Tonight’s NFL Thursday Night Football matchup is a huge one with the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
While NFL bettors will certainly be taking positions on the Chargers vs. Chiefs spread and over/under, player props will also be popular for a handful of reasons.
First, Thursday Night Football is a standalone, primetime game, so NFL bettors will be looking for every way possible to have a little action on this matchup.
And, as I just mentioned, the Chargers and Chiefs are loaded with offensive playmakers, making player prop over/unders all that more attractive.
Obviously, casual NFL bettors will gravitate toward big-name players like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler and Travis Kelce, but it’s important to not forget about some of the secondary offensive players either.
Value is value, and interestingly enough, it’s player props for Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams that are offering plenty of just that.
Using Action Labs’ NFL player prop picks, let’s dig into how to bet Mike Williams for Chargers vs. Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.
NFL Player Prop Picks: Mike Williams
*Player prop odds and picks as of Thursday afternoon
Keenan Allen will not play on Thursday night due to a hamstring injury, so it makes sense that there are more potential targets, catches and receiving yardage coming Williams’ way.
However, as NFL bettors we don’t live in vacuums and all that matters is how Williams’ projection production compares to the latest player props odds, and according to Action Labs’ numbers, he’s a bit overvalued for tonight’s game.
Our data projects Williams, even without Allen on the field tonight, for 57.9 receiving yards, falling well below his yardage over/under at essentially every major sportsbook.
In fact, FanDuel is offering this receiving yards over/under at 69.5 (-110), which, when compared to Action Labs’ projection of 57.9 yards, pops as one of the best player prop bets for Chargers vs. Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.
