NFL Week 16 Ladder Bets
Be sure to explore our NFL Team defensive report for more ways to handicap NFL ladder bets. We went 3-3 last week, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 83 receiving yards leading to a half-unit of profit, as CJ Stroud let us down! Let's find some more winners:
| Record | Unit Profit |
|---|---|
| 13-13 | +6.50 |
James Conner Rushing Yards
The Carolina Panthers have allowed the second-most rushing yards to running backs this season at nearly 140 per game. They're also 31st in defensive rushing EPA on the year. Cardinals running back James Conner will thrive against a brutal Panthers front seven. The former Pitt Panther is coming off a 110 yard, two-touchdown outing against the Patriots and is in line for another big day.

— Arizona Cardinals (@AZCardinals) December 19, 2024
Carolina allows over five yards per carry against man/gap concept runs. Conner goes for 4.7 yards per attempt on gap runs. Expect to see number six light up the stat sheet in a game that projects very favorably for the Arizona Cardinals. Bet James Conner's overs with confidence.
NFL Week 16 Ladder Bet: James Conner over 79.5 rushing yards (-115), 90+ rushing yards (+120), 100+ rushing yards (+175)
Jalen McMillan Receiving Yards
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wideout Jalen McMillan has come on strong across the last two weeks. The former Washington standout has hauled in nine of thirteen targets for 134 yards and three touchdowns.
He'll thrive against a Dallas Cowboys defense that allows the seventh-most yards to opposing wideouts. Starting Cowboys corners Daron Bland and Amani Oruwariye have each allowed a reception percentage of 70+% and passer rating over 120 in coverage.
Jalen McMillan has been separating at an elite rate on vertically breaking routes, per @FantasyPtsData ASS. See below since week 7 (among 120 WRs, min. 25 routes):

- 0.195 Separation Score (5th among 120 WRS)
- 19.5% Win Rate (7th)
McMillan is finally producing as of late too,…
Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense tore up the Chargers stingy defense last week. Expect to see that continue and McMillan to be a huge part of the gameplan in Week 16. Jalen McMillan's receiving yardage prop is at just 35.5 yards at BetMGM. Bet on McMillan to far exceed those numbers as part of our Week 16 ladder bets against the Cowboys on SNF.
NFL Week 16 Ladder Bet: Jalen McMillan over 35.5 receiving yards (-115), 40+ receiving yards (+115), 50+ receiving yards (+190), 60+ receiving yards (+300)
