As usual, most of the listed bets could go either way, but there are a few that stand out as must-bets.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top NFL Week 13 Prop Bets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Alexander Mattison: UNDER 103.5 Rush+Receiving Yards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dalvin Cook will not play in Week 13, but that doesn\u2019t mean that Alexander Mattison is going to be a 1:1 replacement. Historically, Mattison has handled that role, but that had a lot to do with the underwhelming depth chart. The Vikings now have a reliable third-stringer in Kene Ngwangwu, and he will take away a few of Mattison\u2019s opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/04\/26\/kene-nwangwu-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_self\">Ngwangwu had a great profile<\/a> coming out of college, but his draft stock plummeted due to his torn Achilles. Running backs historically struggle to recapture their burst after such a setback, but we\u2019ve already seen plenty of proof that Ngwangwu has the explosiveness required to handle life in the NFL. You basically need complete control of your backfield to hit over 100 rushing and receiving yards, and Ngwangwu\u2019s presence probably means that Mattison falls short of that goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Vikings?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Vikings<\/a> Kene Nwangwu is the first rookie since Cordarrelle Patterson in 2013 to have two kick-return TDs in a season.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/znkLozeZwM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/znkLozeZwM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFSN (@PFN365) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFN365\/status\/1466802658069655561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 3, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Jaylen Waddle: OVER 66.5 Receiving Yards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaylen Waddle has been one of the most productive rookie wide receivers in the league. The Alabama product has recorded more than 67 receiving yards in four of his last seven contests, and two of those misses came by a combined seven yards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These aren\u2019t just fluky performances either, as Waddle has the volume to make you believe this production is sustainable. Since Tua Tagovailoa returned to the starting lineup, Waddle has averaged a staggering 9.5 targets per game. With Will Fuller gone and DeVante Parker questionable, Waddle should continue to be the focal point of this passing attack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;16171&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Laviska Shenault: UNDER 48.5 Receiving Yards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop trying to make Laviska Shenault happen. It\u2019s not going to happen. No matter how many injuries strike, Urban Meyer continuously finds reasons for Laviska Shenault to not get the football. Last week, the former second-round pick ran fewer routes than Laquon Treadwell, and it\u2019s hard to see that changing any time soon. Meyer said that receivers were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/jaguars-urban-meyer-wide-receivers-running-wrong-routes\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">running the wrong routes<\/a> in Week 12 and, while he didn\u2019t mention him by name, it\u2019s safe to assume he was talking about Shenault.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m convinced the more I watch it, Laviska ran the wrong route on final Jags play today. Could be wrong. I also think he ran wrong route earlier in game. I think he\u2019s done that a handful of times the last month. It\u2019s really hard to know for sure but appears that way.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brent Martineau (@BrentASJax) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentASJax\/status\/1465159855413547016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 29, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rob Gronkowski: OVER 55.5 Receiving Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have arguably the deepest group of weapons in the league, but Tom Brady has a clear favorite. When fully healthy, Rob Gronkowski is the go-to option in this passing attack. After a mediocre 2020, Gronkowski is back to looking like his 2017 self, and the results speak for themselves. He\u2019s hit the over in three of his four healthy games (he left the Rams game early, so I\u2019m not including that) and his target share is second to none. This is one of the safest Week 13 prop bets on the slate and should be included in any betting.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rob Gronkowski is targeted more than any other tight end in the NFL on a per route basis (min 150 routes):<\/p>\n<p>26% &#8212; Rob Gronkowski<br \/>24% &#8212; Darren Waller<br \/>22% &#8212; Mark Andrews<br \/>22% &#8212; George Kittle<br \/>21% &#8212; Travis Kelce, Kyle Pitts, Noah Fant, Pat Freiermuth, T.J.

With his current usage, Williams is nothing more than a low volume, boom-or-bust play that needs to make the most of his limited targets to hit the over. Williams has recorded fewer than 57 receiving yards in four of his last six, and he finished one of those games with exactly 58 yards. Maybe he finds a new team in free agency and breaks out then, but for now, he just doesn\u2019t have the volume to justify betting the over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"ue4uQdo3RBRvHyAVxbBhfA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1356312752\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ue4uQdo3RBRvHyAVxbBhfA',sig:'NQ3TfWFNa-6SNAaCppZUPJw2KlNp_RwGWSdVSEjBJJE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1356312752',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five Best NFL Week 13 Prop Bets &#8211; Using Underdog Fantasy, there are a few prop bets that should pay off in the upcoming slate of games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":125582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,13,18,4,26,32539,29],"tags":[4758,7642,7634,7646,5295,400],"class_list":["post-125579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-jaguars","category-chargers","category-dolphins","category-vikings","category-nfl-betting","category-buccaneers","tag-alexander-mattison","tag-chargers-featured","tag-dolphins-featured","tag-jaguars-featured","tag-nfl-betting","tag-rob-gronkowski"],"modified_by":"Michael Kovacs, ADMIN","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
