Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs Player Props for Monday Night Football

Travis Kelce over 72.5 receiving yards, -110 (FanDuel)

The Chiefs will no doubt be looking to throw tonight, with the Raiders pass defense ranking 24th in the league, and Kelce has been the only Chiefs receiver seeing steady targets this year (averaging 8.5 per game). The Raiders have also been poor at defending TE's, ranking 22nd in fantasy points allowed to that position. Good chance that Kelce can produce a solid game in this important divisional battle.

Travis Kelce anytime touchdown, -130 (FanDuel)

As mentioned, the Raiders rank 22nd vs. tight ends in fantasy points allowed, a data point where touchdowns are factored in pretty heavily. Kelce has scored three touchdowns over four games this year and now has scored a touchdown in nine of his last ten games going back to last year. Clear favorite to score.


Travis Kelce first touchdown, +650 (FanDuel)

First touchdown prices (generally speaking) should be listed at roughly six times the anytime touchdown price, essentially equaling 42 points and a few field goals (which lines up with tonight's 51.5 total pretty well). With the Kelce TD being offered at a good bit less than even money (as low as -145 at DraftKings), we're getting a little bit of a break on this price, perhaps especially with the Chiefs being listed as a 7-point favorite in this game.

Patrick Mahomes over 18.5 rushing yards, -110 (DraftKings)

Mahomes doesn't mind running when the situation calls for it, and has covered this number in each his last two games. Even better, he has covered this number in nine of his last twelve starts going back to last year. No reason he can't do so again.
