Week 18 NFL player props, picks Sunday: Justin Fields, CeeDee Lamb

Week 18 of the NFL has arrived in earnest as several stars and others are playing for massive bonuses.

Find the player incentive and bonus tracker ahead of a big slate of games which are huge for their bank accounts.

But here for player props, every week is big for our bank accounts.

Last week was one of our worst weeks of an overall successful regular season.

Our record dropped to 44-57 (43.56 percent), and lost 5.16 units. That brings us down to 46.33 units of profit. Manage those bankrolls wisely.

Below we break down two of the players I’m backing in a tricky Week 18 NFL slate.

Week 18 NFL player props and picks

Justin Fields over 53.5 rushing yards -114 (BetRivers) | 125+ 14/1 (Bet365)

He’s talking the talk now he’s going to walk run the walk. Justin Fields wants to send the Packers home without a playoff berth and his opportunity is with his legs.

The Packers have allowed the third most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks and the second most in the NFL over the past eight weeks.

Remember when Tommy DeVito ran for 71 yards on a miraculous “Monday Night Football” win?

Justin Fields has a big opportunity on Sunday. Getty ImagesYeah, Justin Fields would’ve run for 150 that night. Maybe they’ll figure it out, but I’m not betting on it.

Fields’ overs are a smash spot this weekend.

CeeDee Lamb over 89.5 -115 (BetMGM) | 150+ +650 (Bet365)

The Commander’s secondary is a disaster, and the Cowboys need this game to win the division. That all screams CeeDee Lamb time.

Lamb caught 227 yards last week, and is over 150 yards in three of his last 10 games. And the only reason he didn’t do it during the Cowboys’ 45-10 shellacking of the Commanders on Thanksgiving is because it was that much of a blowout.

Sure, there’s blowout potential here. But Dallas has been feeding Lamb like no one in the league.

The Commanders allow the second-most touchdowns (12), second-highest catch rate (68.8 percent), and seventh-most receiving yards (1,318) to opposing receivers.

Lamb could clear the short side of this projection in the first half.
