In a season-defining conference championship showdown, teams are looking to punch their tickets to Super Bowl 60 on February 8th, with New England taking on Denver in the AFC title game, and Los Angeles facing Seattle in the NFC championship matchup. The highly anticipated games promise to be close affairs, with both underdogs boasting slim advantages.
For the conference championship matchup between the Patriots-Broncos, one name stands out as a tantalizing player prop option: Kenneth Walker III of the Seahawks. After an outstanding showing last week against San Francisco, where he racked up 19 carries for 116 yards and three touchdowns, plus additional catches for 29 yards, the question is not whether to target Walker but how many player props he'll cash.
Walker's track record with both regular-season meetings between the Seahawks and Rams is impressive. In Week 11, he had 16 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown, along with three receptions for 44 yards, while in Week 16, he ran for 100 yards and scored once more. Walker has consistently proven himself to be a big-play machine, with multiple runs of over 20 yards and catches of at least 20 yards.
Given that Seattle is committed to sharing carries between Walker and Zach Charbonnet, the absence of Charbonnet due to injury creates an opportunity for Walker to dominate the workload. As a result, he's poised to put up impressive numbers in both the red zone and overall, making him a prime candidate to score any time.
Walker's 20+ rush attempts are looking like an attractive option at -104 on DK Sportsbook, while his chances of scoring two or more touchdowns (+495) are worth considering as well. For those willing to take a slight chance on Walker dominating the game, he offers excellent value at odds ranging from +1600 for Super Bowl MVP.
Moving on to the Patriots-Broncos matchup, one player worth keeping an eye on is Marvin Mims, who proved himself to be a vital component of Denver's offense. The 5-foot-11 speedster's ability to make big plays in tight spaces has earned him a significant role as Stidham's go-to target.
In Week 15, when the Patriots took down Buffalo, Mims ran for 78 yards on just 12 carries and hauled in eight passes for 93 yards, including one touchdown. While Denver has Troy Franklin (hamstring) and Pat Bryant (concussion) healthy again, it remains unlikely that both receivers will see significant playing time.
With Payton likely relying heavily on his most skilled players to drive the offense forward, Mims should feature prominently as he does against Buffalo last week.
