As the season closes, we often forget that a big part of a player's contract are the incentives, i.e. the milestones they must surpass in order to receive their bonuses. Some of it is reliant on snap counts/availability, but mostly its production based. Here are some players approaching some benchmarks that we can reliably toss some betting on and cash in on their incentive checks with them.
Tyler Lockett: 2+ TDs +1000
Lockett receives a $1.6 million bonus if he scores two or more touchdowns against Arizona. He was in a similar situation last season and got the two scores.
Mark Andrews: Over 141 +1200
Andrews needs 141 yards against Pittsburgh to break the single-season yardage record for a tight end set by Travis Kelce in 2020.
Stefon Diggs: Multiple Props
Over 5.5 Rec -150
Over 230.5 Yds +4000
Diggs needs 6 catches and 231 yards to hit two separate $685K incentives. The catches are all but guaranteed, but with the Bills clinched it's doubtful Diggs will see enough action to accrue 200+ yards.
Cooper Kupp: Multiple Props
Over 11.5 Rec +380
Over 135.5 Yds +160
Kupp can break several records today, as he needs 12 catches and 136 yards at home against San Francisco to surpass the single-season receptions and yardage records.
Rob Gronkowski: Multiple Props
Gronkowski needs 7 catches (+130) and 85 yards (+200) in order to hit his season incentive goals. It's kind of risky, but Brady may feed his buddy and pad all our bank accounts.
Jonathan Taylor: Over 265.5 +3000
Taylor needs 266 yards to break Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record. It's very unlikely, especially considering if the Colts beat Jacksonville they clinch a wildcard spot, and won't abuse their star just to set a record. Worth a dollar though.
Tom Brady: Over 487.5 +3000
Brady can set the single season passing record if he throws for 488 yards.
Kyle Pitts: Over 58.5 -130
Pitts needs 59 yards to set the single season yardage record for tight ends. This is expected to happen, thus the payout isn't so hot.
Jaylen Waddle: 3+ Rec -130
Waddle needs just three catches to eclipse the rookie receptions record of 101 set by Anquan Boldin in 2007.
TJ Watt: +1.5 Sacks -130
Watt needs 1.5 sacks against Baltimore to break Michael Strahan's single season sack record of 22.5.
