3 NFL Player Prop Bets for Monday Night Football: Week 15, Eagles at Seahawks

Player props can be useful in a variety of ways -- from taking advantage of them straight up to measuring a player's potential to produce in daily fantasy football on FanDuel. Here, we're going to focus on the former.

Utilizing numberFire's projections as a guide, here are some NFL player props bets that look appealing.

Please note that betting lines and numberFire's game projections may change throughout the day after this article is published. Also, the weather may be an issue in some locations.

D'Andre Swift

Any Time Touchdown (+155)/
Over 75.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-114)

Let's close out Week 15 of the NFL season with the Seattle Seahawks hosting the Philadelphia Eagles.

A solid 45.0-point over/under and a close 3.0-point spread give us the stage for Monday Night Football, with plenty of props to consider.

The big news for this game is that Jalen Hurts is dealing with flu-like symptoms and his status is uncertain for the game. For the Seahawks, Geno Smith is also at risk of missing this game due to a groin injury, which would make Drew Lock the starting quarterback.

With all of that said, it should put D'Andre Swift in a spot to have a big offensive night and find his way into the endzone.

The Seahawks have allowed the 16th most (1,228) rushing yards to running backs and the 11th most (497) receiving yards to running backs. If Hurts isn't at 100% or we see Marcus Mariota as the starting quarterback, seeing the Eagles turn to the run game wouldn't be a surprise. They come in with a 45.51% run play percentage, which is the fifth-highest in the league.

Swift leads the Eagles with a 46% rush share rate and is second with a 34.5% red zone rush share. This puts Swift in a spot to lead the team with rushing attempts and pile up the yards against a very mediocre rush defense.

The passing game matchup is only a plus for Swift and would certainly come into play if the Eagles fall behind, putting them into a passing game script.

All of this should allow Swift to have a big game and find his way into the end zone.

Tyler Lockett

Over 49.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

A strong matchup and solid production should put Tyler Lockett in a good spot to pile up the yards tonight.

Last week, the Seahawks had Drew Lock at quarterback and it led to Lockett having a 19.4% target share, 10.5 average depth of target (aDOT), and 26.6% air yards share. All of those were the highest on the team and while it's just a one-game sample size, it's good to see Lockett being a primary option for their offense after a quarterback change.

The passing game is what should be the focus for the Seahawks tonight since the Eagles have allowed the third-most (2,519) receiving yards to wide receivers this season.

The Eagles also happen to be elite against the run and have allowed the second-fewest (904) rushing yards to running backs this season.

Seattle may have a very tough time moving the ball on the ground, which puts Lockett in the ideal spot to take advantage of a very easy matchup.
