• Will 49ers’ TE George Kittle be key to a San Fran upset?

Week 6’s Monday Night Football matchup features the 1-4 San Francisco 49ers traveling to Lambeau to face the 2-2-1 Green Bay Packers. We dig into the prop cards to find the three best bets for MNF.

Best Week 6 Monday Night Football Props

Prop #1: Jimmy Graham To Have At Least 50 Receiving Yards & 1 Receiving TD

*All odds taken on 10/13/18

Graham has really yet to go off for a huge day this season and only has one TD to his name thus far. However, in his last four games, he’s finished with 76, 21, 45, and 95 receiving yards.

Last week he saw some of his highest usage, as he was targeted a season-high 11 times and brought down six catches.

Clearly Aaron Rodgers is starting to have more trust in his new TE, which is timely given he may be without one or both of Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison, who are both questionable with hamstring injuries.

Against San Fran, Graham will be going up against a team that has allowed the third-most points in the league. They’ve also allowed touchdowns to opposing tight ends in four of five games.

Pick: Jimmy Graham to Have At Least 50 Receiving Yards & 1 Receiving TD

Prop #2: George Kittle To Have 5+ Receptions

*For more options for the link in the table

There are a plethora of players injured or questionable on both sides for this Monday nighter, and Kittle may also be one of them. Kittle is listed as questionable with a knee injury suffered last week so be sure to check his status.

However, he has participated in practice throughout the week, including some limited action on Saturday.

Through Weeks 1-5, George Kittle…

• Is third among TEs in YPG (79.8)
• Leads all TEs in yards gained per route run (PFF)
• Has 5+ receptions and 75+ yards in 4-of-5 games
• Is eighth among *all receivers* in yards per reception (17.3)

The same can’t be said for some of his teamates as receivers Pierre Garçon, Trent Taylor, and Dante Pettis are also nursing injuries. Pettis has been ruled out, Taylor looks doubtful, and Garçon actually has two injuries (shoulder and knee).

The backfield isn’t looking much better with RB Matt Breida not practicing Friday with an ankle injury. All this should allow plenty of opportunities for Kittle, who leads the 49ers in targets, receptions, and yards.

Only one time all season has he had below five receptions in a game.

Pick: George Kittle To Have 5+ Receptions

Prop #3: Devante Adams To Score At Least 1 Receiving TD & Green Bay Packers To Win

Adams has been one of the most reliable fantasy contributors, scoring one touchdown in four of the Packers’ five games so far. Only five receivers currently have more TDs than Adams in the league.

I’ve touched on some of the Packers’ potential injury concerns this week, and should they be missing any receivers, this will obviously open up more targets for Adams.

Adams has a clean bill of health this week and had no issues in Week 5, despite nursing a calf injury. In fact he actually posted season-highs in receptions (9) and yards (140).

Add some value to the bet by including a Packers win.

Green Bay are currently lined as 9.5-point favorites and are undefeated at home, while the 49ers are winless on the road. Throw in San Fran being 1-6 overall when CJ Beathard starts at quarterback, and a Packers win looks good.
