Among the more intriguing markets in the Sunday leaders prop bets department on BetAmerica is most receiving yards. Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is a slight favorite at +550 in this market. He’ll be matched up with a fairly sturdy Philadelphia Eagles pass defense (eighth in yards allowed per game), so let’s look elsewhere for some value plays here.

Allen Robinson (+1400)

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is fresh off his best game of the season by passer rating (126.7), as he went 24-for-33 with 267 yards and three touchdowns against the Houston Texans in Week 14. He targeted Allen Robinson 13 times, and the talented wide-out came down with nine catches for 123 yards and a touchdown.

If Trubisky can keep this up against a subpar Minnesota Vikings defense (25th in passing yards allowed per game), Robinson should have another fine day, and a shot at eclipsing all receivers in passing yards this Sunday.

A.J. Brown (+2000)

A.J. Brown had one of his better games of 2020 last week, going for 112 yards against a mediocre Jacksonville Jaguars defense. He draws another plum matchup this week with the lacking Detroit Lions secondary that’s allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game in the league.

At considerable odds, Brown is a very enticing bet this Sunday. He’ll be helped by the fact that Lions corner back Darryl Roberts is out with a hip injury this week.

Mike Evans (+3300)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is poised to have a terrific Sunday through the air in Week 15 against a porous Atlanta Falcons defense that's surrendered the third-most passing yards per game in the NFL. Mike Evans stands to benefit from this matchup.

Evans seems due for a breakout game, as he hasn't recorded more than 100 receiving yards in one week since Week 4. At a tantalizing price, the talented Tampa wide-out shouldn't be overlooked here.
