The Pittsburgh Steelers will go on the road in Week 14 to face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football. 

Pittsburgh is a 3-point underdog at WynnBET with the total for the game set at 44.

With Adam Thielen out for Minnesota, I have my eye on a few player props in this matchup:

Best Prop Bets for Steelers vs. Vikings

  • Justin Jefferson OVER 7.5 Receptions (+110)
  • K.J. Osborn OVER 42.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
  • Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+200)

Justin Jefferson OVER 7.5 Receptions (+110)

With Adam Thielen out for this game, it’s going to be the Justin Jefferson show on offense for the Vikings. 

The second-year wideout is having another elite season, already accumulating 78 catches for 1,209 yards and seven touchdowns and he stepped up in a big way last week when Thielen went down. 

Jefferson saw a season-high 14 targets, catching 11 (also a season-high) for 182 yards and a score. He’s going to be the focal point tonight against a Steelers defense that is allowing the ninth most yards per play in the NFL. 

K.J. Osborn OVER 42.5 Receiving Yards (-125)

K.J. Osborn is in for a bigger role in Week 14 with Thielen out, and he played 92 percent of the snaps and made five catches for 47 yards last week when Thielen was injured. 

Osborn has hit the over on this number three other times this year when he was operating as the No. 3 receiver, so I think he could be in line for a solid game with Minnesota potentially going to a pass-heavy game script if Dalvin Cook (questionable) sits out. 

Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+200)

Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has caught five touchdowns in his last six games, and he has seen his role expand with Eric Ebron out of the lineup. 

Ben Roethlisberger has compared the rookie tight end to his old tight end Heath Miller, and he’s peppered Freiermuth with red zone targets this season. 

The rookie has seen four or more targets in every game since Week 6, and I like him at +200 to score in this game.
