We have you covered with two Chiefs vs. Steelers props for this Christmas matchup of AFC contenders.
At the start of the season, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy were expected to make up two-thirds of a dynamic Chiefs WR trio. It took until Week 16 for that to become reality and DeAndre Hopkins is in the lineup in place of Rashee Rice, but the Chiefs offense might be peaking at the right time.
Here's how Grant Neiffer is betting the pair on Wednesday.
Chiefs vs. Steelers Player Props: Marquise Brown & Xavier Worthy
Marquise Brown Under 3.5 Receptions (+100)
Marquise Brown may have had a huge target share in his first game in this offense, but I don't expect that going forward.
In his Chiefs debut, Brown only played 20 snaps against the Texans for a 27% snap share. I don't see him getting much of an increase on a short week.
The Chiefs will likely scheme plays for him in his limited snap share, as they did last week against the Texans. This week, though, he gets a tough matchup against the Steelers.
I'm not expecting this to be a high-scoring game. Instead, look for a slow, grind-it-out kind of game between two teams with experienced coaches this late in the season.
I'm not expecting a lot of points, although I do have a touchdown bet below. I'd bet this under on Brown up to -115.

Xavier Worthy Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+250)
With Brown back in the fold with this Chiefs offense, there's less of the ball to go around, especially in the passing game. But Worthy, the rookie who has seen his role increase over the past few weeks, shouldn't be too affected.
Worthy should still see a great workload this week. As I mentioned above, I don't see Brown as a huge threat to his share of touches with little time to prepare.
Worthy continued to see the second-highest snap count among Chiefs receivers at 80% last week, and his role seems cemented in this offense. Here, we'll bet on him finding the end zone. Worthy had a massive four red-zone targets and two red-zone touches against the Texans.
Travis Kelce and Worthy have been the go-to guys in the red zone for Kansas City, and getting +250 on him in this spot is just far too high.
