Itโ€™s that time of year when stats turn into cash. A handful of NFL players are one game away from big bonuses, and Iโ€™ve found the ones chasing real incentivesโ€ฆ in two minutes or less

#5 - R. Dowdle: O 14.5 Rec Yards

Rico Dowdle is just 113 total yards away from a $1 million incentive, and this matchup quietly forces his production into the pass game.

โ€ข Tampa Bay allows the most receiving yards to running backs
โ€ข Buccaneers are tough between the tackles, eliminating efficient inside runs
โ€ข Incentive-driven usage spikes in must-win NFC South games

They can shut down RB carries, but they canโ€™t stop RB targets. 14.5 receiving yards is the clearest path to the bonus.

#4 - S. Diggs: O 2.5 Receptions

Stefon Diggs needs just 3 catches to unlock a $500k incentive, and this matchup naturally feeds catch volume.

โ€ข Cleared this mark in 13 of 14 games this season
โ€ข Baltimore allows the 6th-most receptions to wide receivers
โ€ข Defensive structure favors completion-based passing

This isnโ€™t about ceiling, itโ€™s about incentives and floor. Three catches clears easily. But my #1 pick on this slate is the quarterback, chasing a $1 million passing incentive that actually matters.

#3 - T. McBride: O 5.5 Receptions

Trey McBride is chasing history, sitting 11 receptions away from the single-season tight end record, with no reason for Arizona to slow him down.

โ€ข Averages 10 targets per game
โ€ข Coming off a 12-catch performance
โ€ข Usage holds even in blowout losses

Milestone season plus locked-in volume. 5.5 receptions is a lock.

#2 - J. Jefferson: O 59.5 Rec Yards

Justin Jefferson is closing in on major milestones, needing 168 yards for 1,000 and 112 to set the six-season record.

โ€ข Giants allow the 5th-most receiving yards to wide receivers
โ€ข Team incentives align with featured usage
โ€ข Quiet last game sets up intentional re-engagement

When milestones meet a soft pass defense, production is intentional. 59.5 gets cleared.

My #1 Pick for Contract Incentives

This is the biggest incentive edge of the week and the one the market hasnโ€™t caught up to yet. Itโ€™s preloaded and ready

Thatโ€™s the list. Incentive week always brings chaos, and the smartest edge is knowing whoโ€™s playing for something extra
