If you're looking to play the prop betting markets in the NFC Championship Game, here's a look at three options to consider for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith ahead of his matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon.

DeVonta Smith prop bets for NFC Championship Game

Smith has the speed to break away for huge gains with a reception that went for at least 28 yards in five of his last seven games. With plenty of attention on AJ Brown, there's a good chance Smith can pull off at least one chunk play in this matchup despite going up against a strong 49ers defense.

Smith's two highest target totals came with Gardner Minshew throwing the ball, and it feels like this is a game where Brown will be utilized more in the offense after not doing a whole lot in the divisional round. With a healthy Jalen Hurts, Smith failed to catch six passes in four games in a row before reaching that total in consecutive contests against the New York Giants.
