| The big day is finally here and as you gather around with family and friends for the Super Bowl, there's no better time than now to add a little flare to the game with some player props and Daily Fantasy lineups. There is no time in the NFL season quite like Super Bowl when it comes to prop bets with hundreds, maybe thousands to choose from, but the Fantasy Football Today team has looked to narrow them down for you. With a little help from our friends at SportsLine, we've come up with the player props and players you'll want representing you on the big day in your DFS lineups. |
| Without further ado, let's get into it. |

| Best value player props |
| |
| Jamey Eisenberg loves Super Bowl player props and it's time to find out if he can keep his heater alive. You can find all of Jamey's favorite player prop picks and value plays for DFS here, but let's highlight some of our favorite picks: |
| Favorite DFS value: Isiah Pacheco |
| The Chiefs also have a star seventh-round pick from that same draft class in Isiah Pacheco, who was selected at No. 251 overall. And Pacheco is my favorite DFS play for the Super Bowl . He's $12,500 on FanDuel and $8,000 on DraftKings if you don't use him in the Captain spot. |
| Pacheco comes into this matchup with a touchdown in three postseason games in a row, and he has eight total touchdowns in his past seven games overall. In three of those outings he also has over 100 total yards, and he has at least three receptions in five of those contests. |
| The 49ers defense finished the regular season allowing the fourth-fewest Fantasy points to opposing running backs, but San Francisco has struggled to stop the run in the playoffs. Aaron Jones had a solid game against the 49ers in the Divisional Round with 18 carries for 108 yards, along with three catches for 8 yards on six targets. And both Lions running backs did well against San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game. |
| Favorite Chiefs props |
| Patrick Mahomes under 1.5 passing touchdowns +114 |
| Mahomes is amazing and the best quarterback in this game, but he hasn't been the superhero this season we've grown accustomed to watching. He comes into the Super Bowl with one game with multiple passing touchdowns in his past five outings and only twice in his past eight contests. Given the odds, this is one of my favorite props for this game. |
| Patrick Mahomes over 26.5 rushing yards -110 |
| Mahomes has topped this number nine times this season, but only once in the playoffs and just twice in his past nine outings. However, Mahomes has rushed for at least 29 yards in all three of his Super Bowl appearances, and he's averaging 35.3 rushing yards in his Super Bowl career. Five quarterbacks this season ran for at least 27 yards against San Francisco but none in the playoffs. |
| |
| Favorite 49ers props |
| Brock Purdy under 246.5 passing yards -110 |
| This is a low total, and Purdy has gone over this number in each of his two playoff games and five times in his past seven outings. But the Chiefs have held two of three playoff opponents (Josh Allen and Tua Tagovailoa) to fewer than 200 passing yards, with Lamar Jackson getting 272 yards in the AFC Championship Game. Including Jackson, only seven quarterbacks have passed for at least 247 yards against Kansas City this season. |
| Deebo Samuel under 4.5 receptions +100 |
| The only reason I like this prop is because of the odds, and I expect Samuel to be used in a variety of ways where his receptions aren't the only way he'll impact the game. While some of it has been injury-related, he has 10 games this season with four catches or fewer, and Samuel only had five receptions in Super Bowl LIV against Kansas City. |

We'll share the DK lineup below but if you want to find out which players he's most confident within the lineup, you'll find that over on SportsLine. |
