2019 NFL Individual Season Props: Who’s Going to Lead the League on Offense?

The 2019 NFL season is just around the corner, and as football fans across the world anxiously await the season-opening game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears on September 5, sportsbooks are loading up with prop specials.

Online shop Bovada has released a litany of props for which men will lead the league in the major statistical offensive categories. That includes quarterback options such as which signal-caller will throw for the most touchdowns and yards, odds on rushing touchdowns and rushing yards leaders for running backs, and props on which wide receivers will end the campaign with the most receiving touchdowns and yards.

Mahomes, Luck Leading the Way for QBs

As far as the quarterback odds go, it’s a bit surprising to see Patrick Mahomes not getting the solo favorite tag. Fresh off a dominant MVP season in 2018 in which he threw for 50 touchdowns and 5,097 passing yards, Mahomes is the +450 co-favorite to once again lead the NFL in TDs along with Andrew Luck. The Kansas City Chiefs gunslinger is the +450 front-runner to collect the most passing yards, however. Sticking with the +450 theme, those are also his odds to win NFL MVP in 2019.

Elliott and Barkley are in a League of Their Own

Oddsmakers are clearly expecting yet another massive season out of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, as the Ohio State product is the +300 fave to pace the NFL in rushing yards. Saquon Barkley (+450) is the only other major threat to beat Elliott, with Todd Gurley (+1400) and Derrick Henry (+1400) well back of the pair.

Stage is Set for Another Huge Year for Adams

Julio Jones has never had an issue racking up receiving yards in his NFL career, and the Atlanta Falcons superstar wideout is the heavy +375 favorite to end the 2019 season as the receiving yards leader. Much to the chagrin of his fantasy owners, Jones has never been a touchdown machine, but he did finish with eight scores in 2018 along with a career-high 1,677 receiving yards.

When it comes to receiving touchdown leader odds, it’s a three-way tie at the top of the list between Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce at +1200. It’s a bit shocking to see a tight end so high, yet Kelce has established himself as one of the top catching threats in the NFL and is coming off a 2018 season in which he finished with 1,336 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Personally, Adams is my choice in this regard. The 26-year-old came into his own last year as Aaron Rodgers’ top target in the Green Bay Packers offense, and new head coach Matt LaFleur has made no secret that he’s going to let Rodgers air it out as often as possible going forward. Adams is already one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, but don’t be surprised if he reaches another level in 2019.
