Sunday's NFC Wild Card matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys features two of the best young wide receivers in the league in Deebo Samuel and CeeDee Lamb.

Who can you trust to show up in the postseason? Let's take a look at each of their receiving yard props at WynnBET Sportsbook and see which one is showing value ahead of Sunday.

Receiving Yard Prop Bets

  • Deebo Samuel: 65.5 Receiving Yards (Over -115/Under -115)
  • CeeDee Lamb: 62.5 Receiving Yards (Over -115/Under -115)

Deebo Samuel

Samuel has become a multi-purpose player, coming out of the backfield and at receiver which makes me cautious to take the over with his receiving yards. There's a chance that Samuel does his damage at running back with the Niners looking to slow the game down and keep the Cowboys explosive offense off the field.

As Samuel referred to himself he's a "wide back," so the volatility may not be baked into this prop.

CeeDee Lamb

Lamb has quietly gone under this prop in his last three of his last four games, but I believe the game script is going to call for a ton of targets in No. 88's direction.

San Francisco has a suspect secondary that can be gashed through the air, 24th in explosive pass defense. With Michael Gallup suffering a torn ACL, the Cowboys are going to be force feeding Lamb and Amari Cooper, but I expect the second year pro to thrive deep.

Lamb's target share has shrunk from an average of over 10 targets from Week 13 to Week 15 to about three over the last three weeks, but this prop is too short for my liking. I trust him to go over.
