NFL Player Incentives Bettors Should Know for Week 18 Prop Bets

If you're looking to cash in on the last week of the regular season, you'll want to study up on player incentives. Players always have a little extra juice when there's money on the line, and bettors can profit if they target the right prop bets. Here are three players to target in Week 18 who will be looking to hit their contract incentives.

Hunter Henry Incentives Week 18

The Patriots can keep their hopes of securing the No. 1 seed alive with a win and a Broncos loss, so I'd expect New England's starters to play a lot in Week 18. Bettors should be able to capitalize on Hunter Henry's contract incentives this week. He's five receptions shy of securing a $250,000 bonus and is averaging 4.5 receptions per game over the last two weeks. With a quarter million on the line, expect Drake Maye to give his safety blanket a few extra targets this week.

Tony Pollard Incentives Week 18

Tony Pollard has been coming on strong recently. If he can keep it up for one more game, he can earn himself an additional $450,000. Pollard is 66 rushing yards away from $250,000 and two rushing touchdowns away from another $200,000. Pollard has recorded at least 85 rushing yards in four straight games, and he recorded a two rushing-touchdown game once during that span. It's not going to be easy against a stingy Jaguars' run defense, but Pollard is an interesting target this week. The over on his rushing yards feels like the play, but you could also explore his touchdown markets if you're looking for a bigger payout. 

  • 66 Rushing Yards: $250,000 Bonus
  • 2 Rushing Touchdowns: $200,000 Bonus

Deebo Samuel Incentives Week 18

Deebo Samuel has been playing well lately, averaging 51.8 Receiving Yards per game over his last five outings. He'll need to almost double that to get himself a $450,000 payday, but he'll have a chance to do just that against an Eagles team that's resting a ton of key starters. If Deebo reaches 93 receiving yards, he'll earn himself $450,000. And if he manages to find the end zone twice, he'll add on another $250,000. He's a long shot to hit both incentives, but Deebo's props offer some intriguing value this week. 

  • 93 Receiving Yards: $450,000 
  • 2 Touchdowns: $250,000
