DraftKings Super Bowl 58 leaders odds: Who will finish with the most rushing yards?

The top of the DK Most Rushing Yards odds board looked like this as of mid-week:

  • McCaffrey -235
  • Isiah Pacheco +140
  • Patrick Mahomes +1400
  • Elijah Mitchell +3000
  • Clyde Edwards-Helaire +3000
  • Brock Purdy +4000
  • Samuel +4000

McCaffrey is the overwhelming favorite here, and with good reason after leading the league with 1,459 rushing yards — 292 more than runner-up Derrick Henry — during the regular season and averaging 91.2 per contest.

CMC then rushed for a team-most 98 and 90 yards in the 49ers’ NFC playoff wins over the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, respectively. But it was actually the Packers’ Aaron Jones (108 yards) and the Lions’ David Montgomery (93) who finished as the top ground-gainers in those contests.

And with the Niners allowing an average of 159 rushing yards in getting out-rushed in both of those postseason contests, that leaves the Super Sunday door open for our pick, Isiah Pacheco.

Kansas City’s leading rusher finished 18th in the regular season with 935 yards on 205 carries in 14 games, averaging 66.8 yards per outing. He’s since upped his game and averaged an impressive 84.7 rushing yards and 21.0 carries in K.C.’s three AFC playoff wins, easily finishing as the leading rusher in each of the games.

Out-gaining McCaffrey is a big ask, but we like Pacheco’s chances at the plus-money value price.

Also consider a small, lottery-ticket flyer on Samuel. The 49ers’ versatile wide receiver has six career games with 50 or more rushing yards, including 53 on three attempts as a rookie in the Niners’ 31-20 loss to these Chiefs four years ago in Super Bowl 54.

DraftKings Super Bowl 58 leaders odds: Who will finish with the most receptions?

Kelce topped DK’s mid-week Most Receptions board here, but there were five others with 10-1-or-better odds:

  • Kelce +155
  • Rice +200
  • Brandon Aiyuk +450
  • Samuel +500
  • McCaffrey +700
  • George Kittle +1000

Kelce, Taylor Swift’s Big Game plus-one and the league’s all-time postseason receptions leader with 156 in 21 contests, is going to be a massively popular choice here, especially with a +155 return.

But his teammate, Rashee Rice, quietly only has three fewer receptions (20-23) on two fewer targets (25-27) this postseason.

And the rookie second-round pick also gets to go up against the shaky San Francisco cornerbacks, who surrendered the fifth-most catches (13.6 per game) to opposing wideouts during the regular season.

DraftKings Super Bowl 58 leaders odds: Who will finish with the most receiving yards?

Here were the top six on DK’s mid-week Most Receiving Yards odds board for the Big Game:

  • Aiyuk +240
  • Kelce +260
  • Rice +300
  • Samuel +400
  • Kittle +450
  • McCaffrey +1800

Aiyuk, who finished seventh in the regular season with a career-high 1,342 receiving yards on 16 catches for the Niners, is the favorite here.

But we don’t the like the downfield matchup against cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and the Chiefs’ secondary, which allowed the fourth-fewest yards (124.6) to opposing wide receivers during the regular season.

As our receptions-leader pick, Rice also would be a worthy choice here, but we’re going to go with Deebo Samuel instead.

K.C.’s talented secondary is less of a concern for Samuel, who is more of a bubble screen/short-area target for the Niners.

Samuel’s specialty is his physical play, and a full 527 of his 892 regular season receiving yards came after the catch. He paced all wide receivers in 2023 with 8.8 YAC yards per reception and finished second with 13 total broken tackles.

Samuel also is a viable downfield threat when called upon, and we like his +400 chances of breaking a short reception for a long gain Sunday night and finishing as Super Bowl 58′s receiving yards leader.
