NFL Betting: Which WR Will Have the Most Receiving Yards in 2010?

Propositions are always a fun way to make some great coin in NFL betting action. Here is our list of the top pro football props to bet on for the best receivers in 2010.

Andre Johnson, Houston Texans (+450)

Johnson is the runaway favorite at +450 to have the most receiving yards in the league this season, and for good reason. He was the man really responsible for leading the Texans to the top passing attack in the NFL last year, and they really haven’t done anything in the offseason to take any burden off his shoulders.

Having a healthy TE Owen Daniels to line up alongside him will help draw some extra coverage away, but it never seems to matter. Houston’s top receiver always seems to find ways to get open.

Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals (+900)

There is one major pro and one major con going for Fitzgerald this year. The pro is clearly that WR Anquan Boldin has departed and only Steve Breaston is left to try to take away passes.

The bad news is that QB Kurt Warner has retired, and the strings to the offense will be given to QB Matt Leinart. If Leinart approaches the 4,000-yard barrier, Fitzgerald will be a great bet for this prop, as that probably means that the U-Pitt product has had a heck of a year.

Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions (+1000)

Why not?

Johnson is probably going to be overlooked for the fact that he is a Lion, but second-year QB Matt Stafford might be a Pro Bowler, particularly in the NFC. Detroit will more than likely fall more than it succeeds in the win column this football betting season, but it should find ways to be more competitive with what looks to be a top-notch offensive attack.

Stafford might only have eyes for his top target as he gets used to the pro game. Johnson had a relatively pedestrian 984 yards last season, but if he doesn’t get to at least 1,200 this year, we’d be quite surprised.

Brandon Marshall, Miami Dolphins (+2000)

This is really more of a bet on QB Chad Henne than it is on Marshall. The former UCF Knight made Kyle Orton look like Joe Montana at times last season in Denver, but he fell out of favor with the team and was traded in the offseason. If he can do the same for Henne, look out.

Marshall is the only huge receiving threat on a team that has badly needed one through the years.

Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers (+2000)

This is probably more plausible than you’d originally think.

Had Crabtree played the entire season at the pace he was at, he would’ve had just over 900 receiving yards in his rookie campaign. Parlay the fact that he is going to have a full training camp under his belt with the fact that there is no QB controversy in San Francisco anymore, and the recipe might be right for the former Texas Tech Red Raider to explode.

Look for Crabtree to need to have at least 1,000 yards this year for the Niners to have any chance of winning the NFC West and getting into the playoffs.
