    Sportsbooks list Davante Adams as favorite to lead all players in receiving yards Sunday

    Off the best playoff game of his career, Green Bay's Davante Adams is the favorite to have the most receiving yards of any player on NFL conference championship weekend.

    Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams had a disappointing regular season by his high standards because he missed four games due to injury and was limited in a few others. He still had 83 catches for 997 yards and is clearly one of the NFC's best wideouts and by far the favorite target of Aaron Rodgers. The Packers visit the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the NFC title game with a 6:40 p.m. ET kickoff. Expect the favored Niners to make slowing Adams a priority.

    Last week in a 28-23 win over Seattle, Adams was arguably the best player on the field with eight catches for 160 yards and two scores. The yards were a Packers franchise playoff record – and that franchise has had some spectacular receivers over the years – and Adams became the first Packer in history with at least 150 yards and two touchdowns in a playoff game. Adams now has 44 receiving touchdowns since 2016, including playoffs, which are the most in the NFL.

    On the DraftKings NFL odds, Adams is the +325 favorite to lead all players in receiving yards on Sunday. FanDuel gives him an Over-Under of 84.5 receiving yards and he's +150 to score a touchdown at any point vs. San Francisco. When Green Bay was creamed 37-8 at the Niners in Week 12, Adams had just 43 yards on seven catches, but he did have his team's only TD. The Packers totaled 81 passing yards when including sacks. San Francisco has a terrific defense and held the Vikings' Kirk Cousins to 172 yards passing last week.

    Kansas City receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce are each +400 on this prop as the Chiefs host the Tennessee Titans in the AFC title game in the early window. Kelce was a monster last week in the win over Houston with 10 catches for 134 yards and three scores in becoming the first player in NFL history with three receiving TDs in one playoff quarter. FanDuel gives Kelce a total of 79.5 yards this week and Hill 76.5. When Kansas City lost at Tennessee in Week 10, Hill had 157 yards and Kelce 75.

    San Francisco tight end George Kittle is +500 followed by Titans rookie receiver A.J. Brown at +900 and then there's a big drop-off. Tennessee has just 154 total passing yards in these playoffs because it has been running the ball so well behind Derrick Henry. Brown has two catches for 13 yards.
