NFL player milestones are quickly becoming one of the fastest futures markets to bet on. My NFL picks are targeting a handful of player milestones in a parlay that pays out at better than 20:1.
I've got my eye on a pair of NFC North quarterbacks and I'm also backing a couple of young receivers along with a reliable veteran running back. Check them out below.
Caleb Williams 4000+ passing yards
Caleb Williams failed to reach lofty expectations as a rookie last year. That said, the first pick overall flashed in late season games against the Vikings and Lions, and he's poised to break out this year.
The Chicago Bears rebuilt the interior of their offensive line, signing Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman and Jonah Jackson.They also spent their first two draft picks on tight end Colston Loveland and slot receiver Luther Burden III, upgrading a receiver room that already included DJ Moore and Rome Odunze.
With new head coach and offensive guru Ben Johnson calling the plays, expect him to unlock Williams' vast potential.
Jared Goff 4000+ passing yards
Jared Goff completed 72.4% of his passes for 4,629 yards last year and that was with the Detroit Lions passing at one of the lower rates in the league.
Detroit lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson in the offseason but replaced him with John Morton who is pass oriented and likes to dial up deep plays.
The Lions also have a tough schedule and are expected to take a step back after going 15-2 with an NFL-best scoring margin of +13.1 ppg last year. That should mean more neutral and negative game script for Goff.
Josh Jacobs 1000+ rushing yards
Josh Jacobs quietly rushed for 1329 yards on 301 carries last year. He's a workhorse that led the NFL with 1,653 rushing yards in 2022 and, as long as he stays relatively healthy, another 1000-yard season seems inevitable.
Cold weather games in the NFC North are a perfect fit for the bruising back and the Green Bay Packers love to run the ball — ranking third in the league in rushing play percentage last year.
Jacobs will be the unquestioned lead back once again with the oft-injured MarShawn Lloyd entering the season on the IR.
Ladd McConkey 1000+ receiving yards
The Los Angeles Chargers brought back Keenan Allen but expect Ladd McConkey to remain the No. 1 target for Justin Herbert.
McConkey hauled in 82 receptions for 1,149 yards as a rookie last year. What's even more impressive about that number is that he was fighting for snaps at the start of the season.
In McConkey's first nine games, he averaged 6.0 targets and 54.7 receiving yards per game. In his final seven regular season games, those numbers surged to 8.3 targets and 93.9 receiving yards per game. Then he went berserk in the AFC Wild Card game, hauling in nine of 14 targets for 197 yards against Houston.
Drake London 1000+ receiving yards
Drake London had 100 catches for 1,271 yards in 2024. The Atlanta Falcons are giving the keys of their offense to Michael Penix and the sophomore QB had instant chemistry with London last year.
In the final game of the regular season, London racked up a career-high 187 yards with Penix under center. In the three games that Penix started, London was targeted a whopping 39 times.
That high target share and a schedule that includes tons of subpar secondaries should lead to London easily cracking this plateau.
