Here are two props that stand out ahead of the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
RB Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks: Over 43.5 rushing yards
The Seahawks had one of the true 50-50 backfield splits in the league this season with Kenneth Walker III (497 snaps) and Zach Charbonnet (489 snaps). Seattle leaned heavily on its running back duo, as the pair carried the ball a total of 66 times over the final two weeks of the regular season.
Charbonnet’s 184 rushing yards in Weeks 17 and 18 trailed only Derrick Henry and Bijan Robison for the most in the league. He played a crucial role in Seattle’s win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18, carrying the ball 17 times for 74 yards and forcing five missed tackles.
Injuries have decimated the 49ers defense, especially against All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner and edge defender Nick Bosa. Tatum Bethune came in and defended the run at a high level (73.2 PFF run-defense grade), but was lost for the season in the Week 18 game against Seattle. The team also lost 2025 first-round pick Mykel Williams to a torn ACL in early November.
As a team, the 49ers rank last in PFF run-defense grade (44.5), while Charbonnet’s PFF rushing grade of 90.5 ranks second among 55 qualifying running backs this season.
I would expect Seattle to lean heavily on its run game, giving Charbonnet plenty of opportunities to do damage on the ground with a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line.
RB Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: Over 50.5 receiving yards
During the regular season, McCaffrey led all running backs in targets (121), receptions (102), receiving yards (924) and touchdowns (seven), and his 91.3 PFF reception grade ranked first among 54 qualifying running backs.
The five-time All-Pro turned in another impressive showing through the air, catching six of eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
With Ricky Pearsall looking questionable at best while dealing with knee and ankle injuries, and George Kittle lost for the season with an Achilles injury, McCaffrey could be relied upon even more in the passing game in the divisional round against a Seattle defense that ranked 32nd in targets allowed to running backs in the regular season.
In their two previous games this season, McCaffrey has converted 17 targets into 15 receptions and 107 receiving yards. The 49ers made it a priority to get him more involved as a receiver when Kittle missed time, as he averaged 68.6 receiving yards in the tight end’s six games.
The 49ers are the biggest underdogs of the divisional round this weekend, as Seattle is currently favored at home by 7.5 points. There’s a good chance San Francisco will have to throw early and often to keep it close, and McCaffrey thinks he’s the main beneficiary of that game script.
