🧨 Jaxon Smith-Njigba to Break the Single-Season Receiving Yards Record (+700)

The bar is sky-high on this one — 1,964 yards high, to be exact — set by Calvin “Megatron” Johnson in 2012. The Detroit legend’s record has stood for over a decade, surviving challenges from Cooper Kupp (1,947 yards in 2021) and Tyreek Hill (1,799 in 2023).

But Jaxon Smith-Njigba has the talent and system to make a real run at it. With elite route running, growing chemistry in Seattle’s offense, and 17 games to work with, the third-year wideout has emerged as a real threat to the record. JSN’s is averaging 115.7 yards per game through 9 contests in 2025, which would put him right on pace to break the record by just a couple of yards. Bettors can back him to break the record today at +700.

🏈 Jonathan Taylor to Break the Single-Season Touchdown Record (32+) (+900)

LaDainian Tomlinson’s legendary 31-touchdown season in 2006 remains one of the most dominant campaigns ever. That year, “L.T.” seemed to score at will — a mix of vision, patience, and red-zone magic.

Now, Jonathan Taylor steps into the spotlight with a chance to go one better. Healthy, rejuvenated, and reclaiming his role as Indy’s workhorse, Taylor is the centerpiece of a touchdown-heavy offense and an MVP favorite. +900 odds reflect the challenge at hand, chasing history should never come easy.

⚙️ Jonathan Taylor to Break the Single-Season Rushing Record (2,106+ yards) (+1000)

Eric Dickerson’s 2,105-yard masterpiece from 1984 has endured for 40 years. The closest anyone has come? Adrian Peterson’s 2,097-yard effort in 2012.

Taylor already led the league with 1,811 yards in 2021 — as a 22-year-old. With a rebuilt offensive line and renewed motivation, a return to that form (and a weather-friendly dome schedule down the stretch) could put the record within striking distance. It’s a big ask, but if anyone has the blend of durability and explosiveness, it’s Taylor. We’ve got JT to break the rushing record at +1000.

🌟 Emeka Egbuka to Break the Single-Season Rookie Receiving Yards Record (1,487+) (+1600)

Puka Nacua’s rookie campaign in 2023 redefined what “instant impact” looks like — 1,486 yards, shattering the old record set by Bill Groman way back in 1960.

Now, Ohio State product Emeka Egbuka has entered the league with a similar blend of smooth route-running and toughness after the catch. With key injuries to Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Bucky Irving, Egbuka has assumed an enormous role in the Bucs offense. Through nine games he’s averaged 75.2 yards per game, which would put him slightly under the necessary pace. However, a flurry to end the season and the margin could narrow quickly. This one is currently priced at +1600.

🚀 Emeka Egbuka to Break the Single-Season Rookie Receiving TD Record (18+) (+5000)

Randy Moss’ rookie season in 1998 — 17 touchdowns — still stands as the gold standard for wideout debuts. That year, Moss made defenders look like background extras in his highlight reel and in the near-30 years since, nobody has come close.

Egbuka may not have Moss’ size, but he has an NFL-ready polish, red-zone savvy, and role that could provide a path. Breaking that record would take the perfect storm — elite QB chemistry, consistent targets, and a few long scores. Through nine games Egbuka has six touchdowns so he’d have to pick it up over the back half of the season, but hey, it’s +5000 (50-1).
