NFC Championship Receiving Props: Best 49ers-Eagles Props
A.J. Brown Player Prop: O/U 25.5 Longest Reception
A.J. Brown has helped lift quarterback Jalen Hurts to an MVP level. Brown was acquired on draft night and traded by the Tennessee Titans for a first-round pick and a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Brown reeled in 88 catches and close to 1,500 yards this season, which was fourth most in the NFL. With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, Brown will have to come up huge in his first Conference Championship game.
The 49ers have been susceptible to getting beat down the field by star receivers, with D.K. Metcalf and CeeDee Lamb having enormous games against this secondary. Metcalf caught a 50-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter of the 49ers-Seahawks Wild Card game and totaled 136 yards. Lamb was not far behind, accounting for over 56% of the Cowboys receiving yards, including a 46-yard catch in the third quarter.
Since the 49ers’ Week 9 bye, they’ve allowed a reception of over 26 yards in every game, including against offenses like the Arizona Cardinals without (Kyler Murray), the Washington Commanders and the New Orleans Saints. Brown has gone over this line in 12 of 18 games but was held to just 22 yards on three catches in their rout of the New York Giants in the Divisional Round. Look for Brown to be leaned upon and given plenty of deep balls.

Brandon Aiyuk Player Prop: O/U 45.5 Receiving Yards
Brandon Aiyuk has taken huge strides in his third season in the NFL. Aiyuk reached 1,000 yards for the first time in his career and led the 49ers in receiving yards, with teammate Deebo Samuel sidelined for a chunk of the season. With Samuel getting snaps out of the backfield, plenty of the Eagles defenders will have their eyes set on stopping the Swiss-army knife. Aiyuk played over 95% of the snaps last week and will again see plenty of action come Sunday during the NFC Championship Game. He is atop the list of the 49ers-Eagles receiving props.
Like Brown, Aiyuk is a deep ball threat and can take any pass for a touchdown. He’s caught 19 passes of over 20 yards and cashed in on this bet in 13 of 19 games. In the eight games that Purdy started, Aiyuk accounted for at least 46 receiving yards in six of them. Both Brown and Aiyuk were non-factors last week but will have to come up in big ways to get their teams to the Super Bowl.
Best 49ers-Eagles Receiving Prop Bet: Brandon Aiyuk Over 45.5 Receiving Yards -115 (DraftKings)
