Marquez Valdes-Scantling Receiving Yards Prop
Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Over 35.5 Receiving Yards (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
Valdes-Scantling is the main deep threat on the Chiefs, putting up a 13.9-yard average depth of target, which ranked sixth league-wide among receivers with at least 50 targets.
That means that he has a chance to hit this number in one or two catches. While this role leads to volatile production of a boom-or-bust nature, this is a reasonable bar for MVS to clear at 35.5 receiving yards.
Add in the fact that JuJu Smith-Schuster is returning from a knee injury and Mecole Hardman remains out of the lineup, and you have an appealing scenario for MVS to keep it rolling in this spot.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Touchdown Prop
Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Anytime Touchdown (+235) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 0.5 Units
While Valdes-Scantling only had two touchdowns during the regular season, he has found the end zone in each of the Chiefs’ two playoff games so far.
This is a projected high-scoring affair, with Kansas City getting a 24.5-point implied total, so there will be opportunities for touchdowns in this one.
At +235 odds, there’s good enough value on MVS, especially with him expected to continue to act as the top receiver and second option next to Travis Kelce in this offense.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Head-to-Head Prop
A.J. Brown: -33.5 Receiving Yards vs Marquez Valdes-Scantling (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
Brown averaged 88 receiving yards per game this season, which was about 48 yards higher than Valdes-Scantling. While 33.5 yards is a high number, Brown is the No. 1 wideout on the Eagles and MVS is part of an offense that spreads the wealth among wide receivers.
According to Football Outsiders, the Chiefs ranked 20th in Pass DVOA, while the Eagles came in first. In other words, Brown is the much better matchup of the two players.
When you combine each of these factors, you feel comfortable laying the points on Brown over MVS.
