Welcome back to NFL Prop Talk, highlighting the best Week 17 NFL player props!
Going 1-1 last week halted our sunrun of props, but we are currently 26-24 on tracked plays for this season, and it's time to end the season on a strong note.
Prop Talk is Footballguys' leading NFL player props weekly article. We will utilize a combination of Footballguys' fantastic tools, rankings, and projections, along with my insights, to help you determine whether a player will go over or under their weekly player prop number and potentially win some money.
Let's dive right into some Week 17 NFL player props.
Week 17 NFL Player Props
We'll be using many different sportsbooks for these Week 17 NFL player props lines. Our advice is to always line-shop at as many sportsbooks as possible to find the best possible line!
Brenton Strange Over/Under 15.5 Yards Longest Reception (Hard Rock Bet)
It's been pretty... strange to see Strange's line sitting this low this late in the season. The Jaguars have a slim shot to get the AFC's top seed, but they aren't out of it just yet, so expect head coach Liam Coen to play his starters as long as they need to try to knock out the division rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 17.
Strange has been on a nice run since returning from his early-season injury a month ago. The third-year TE has developed himself as a nice middle-of-the-field target for QB Trevor Lawrence and has cleared the line on one of our top Week 17 NFL player props in 8 of his 10 games this year, not to mention the last six straight.
The Colts have been pulverized against tight ends this season. They allow the second-most yards per game and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position, and showed last week against the San Francisco 49ers that their defense is just not equipped to handle a well-rounded passing attack right now.
PICK: Strange OVER 15.5 yards longest reception (-120)
