Best Bet #1: Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints - To Record 1,250+ Receiving Yards (+180)

We’re very high on Chris Olave going into this season, so seeing him with near even odds to just hit 1,000 yards, which he has done in three of his four NFL seasons. The only year when he didn’t, he played just eight games. Now, there is the worry about those concussion problems, but we’re not going to let that fog up the ceiling we see here.

He and Tyler Shough had a great connection in the latter half of last season, he averaged 82.5 yards per game in the eight games he and Shough start together, which translates to over 1,400 yards across a full 17-game season.

The Saints offence will be better than it was last year, and Olave will be a part of that. He had 1,163 yards and finished seventh in receiving yards in 2025. He’s going to improve on that in 2026, which would put him on track to eclipse the 1,250-yard mark.

Best Bet #2: Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears (+225) - To Record 1,000+ Receiving Yards

The sports betting sites are not very high on Rome Odunze going into the 2026 campaign. But we are. He played just 12 games last year because of a foot injury, but he has said recently he doesn’t even think about the issue anymore. He’s healthy going into this 2026 season.

And without expectation that Caleb Williams will hit 4,000 yards and D.J. Moore gone, it’s hard to imagine a healthy Odunze not hitting 1,000 yards at the very least. We also like his teammate, Luther Burden III, to hit 1,000 yards at +125 odds.

Long Shot Dart Throw: Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders - To Record 1,500+ Receiving Yards (+1,100)

Brock Bowers had a bit of a down year in 2025, but that had a lot to do with injuries that forced him to miss five games and some of the worst quarterback play in the league. In 2026, he’ll most likely be catching passes from a capable signal caller in Kirk Cousins, who always seems to lock in on his top wideout, resulting in big numbers for that player. Bowers will play more now that he’s healthy, he’ll get more looks thanks to a poor Raiders team that will b be trailing more often than not, and better looks from Cousins.
